Continue ReadingThe CBG Tip-Off takes place this Saturday at Rock It Sports in Richmond, and it looks like one of the top pre-live period events with a loaded field of both shoe company and independent teams. The event starts at 9 AM with the last game set at 8 PM, and features some of the best prospects in VA, NC and the DMV areas.
Here’s a look at part two of the many 16U prospects to watch for at the event.
If you can’t make it, all the games will be live streamed on the CBG Live Network.
Colt Langdon Colt Langdon 6'7" | SG Millbrook | 2025 State #114 Nation NC | 6’6” WF | Team Loaded VA
Langdon has already made a huge mark in high school career with over 1,000 points in just two seasons, and he was the top scorer on Loaded’s 15U team that won the 3SSB Circuit last year. The 6’6” wing is a natural scorer who has good size to be able to rise up and make shots over defenders, he can play on the ball and get downhill or he can work off the ball where he moves well and can make shots on the move and he plays with a competitive chip as well.
Donnie Richardson | 6’5” CG | Team Loaded VA
Richardson is a good addition to this already stacked Loaded team that needs size in the backcourt, and he’s been one of the best players in Richmond over the past few years. The 6’5” guard has great positional size and uses that to see over defenders to make passes and shots, he changes speeds well and knows how to use his body when he gets in the paint to finish and he’s a very high IQ player on both ends of the floor.
Jackson Keith Jackson Keith 6'6" | CG Southern Durham | 2025 State #84 Nation NC | 6’5” WG | Team Loaded VA
Keith was another standout on the 15U team that won the 3SSB last year, and his sophomore year at Southern Durham he put on a show as he’s widely considered one of the best prospects in North Carolina in his class. The 6’5” wing is strong and explosive and is very good at getting downhill and finishing in traffic, he’s a killer in the midrange where he’s able to rise up and make tough shots and he brings on the defensive end as well guarding multiple positions and jumping passing lanes.
Sebastian Whitfield Sebastian Whitfield 6'5" | SF Cape Henry | 2025 State VA | 6’6” WF | Team Loaded VA
Whitfield was the go-to guy for Cape Henry and was one of the breakout players in the 757 this year, putting up big numbers and showing his ability to score the rock in a lot of different ways. He’s a big wing who can get downhill and finishes well in traffic and gets to the line often, he’s a dead eye shooter from deep who works well off the ball to get open and he’s a good rebounder who can start the break and make plays for others.
Nate Ament Nate Ament 6'8" | SF Highland | 2025 State #12 Nation VA | 6’8” WF | Team Loaded NC
Ament came out of nowhere late in the summer and in his sophomore season at Colgan he showed he could be one of the best prospects in VA regardless of class. The 6’8” forward is a walking mismatch as he has great ball skills on the perimeter where he can knock down shots and put it on the deck, his long arms and athleticism allow him to protect the rim and switch on pick-and-rolls and he has good touch in the paint where he hits the offensive glass too.
Ashton Walker Ashton Walker 6'5" | PG Catholic | 2025 State #172 Nation VA | 6’4” PG | Team Loaded NC
Walker spent this past year playing on the Oak Hill Red team, and if he continues to develop there’s no doubt he’ll be good enough to play on the NIBC team. He’s hit his growth spurt and now stands at 6’4” as a true point guard, he’s super shifty off the bounce and has terrific feel and vision as a playmaker and he can create off the bounce and score it efficiently from different levels.
Trevor Best Trevor Best 6'2" | CG Word Of God | 2025 State NC | 6’3” CG | Team Loaded NC
Best is one of the most talented guards that will be in the building, as the Word of God combo has a blend of athleticism and skill that makes him very intriguing moving forward. He plays like he was shot out of a cannon with great speed in the open floor and a big time finisher around the rim, he can create and make tough shots from multiple levels and make plays for others and defensively he can smother ball handlers and turn them over on the ball.
