Noah Farleyy Noah Farleyy 5'11" | PG Floyd County | 2027 VA | 15u Virginia Elite
Farley is a rising freshman from Floyd County playing with Virginia Elite on the RISE Circuit this spring and summer. He was one of the biggest standouts from the practice I observed on Sunday. Farley is a knockdown shooter who relocates well off the ball. He is a bigger guard who has the size to see the court and will not hesitate to pass to an open teammate.
Elijah Guillory | 17u Team Durant
Guillory attends Moon Area in PA but it looks like he’ll be with Team Durant this spring. At roughly 6’4″ he does many things well including shooting from three, using stepbacks from the mid-range, and defending. Guillory is a good athlete who is tough and vigilant. He will dive on the floor for a 50/50, rebound his position consistently, and get multiple deflections. One of Guillory’s better traits is his playmaking. He sees the court and is unselfish.
Emmanuel Kanga Lendouga Emmanuel Kanga Lendouga 6'8" | C Mt. Zion | 2025 State #135 Nation MD | 16u DC Premier
Kanga is an athletic and energetic 6’8″ big man who has quickly made a splash in this area. He’s got long limbs, broad shoulders, and is nimble for his size. Kanga has a good feel for the game and expanding face-up skills. He is effective as a rim protector who alters shots without fouling. Kanga keeps his hands active on defense. He is relentless on the glass and is a one-man fast break.
Alier Maluk | 16u Team Durant
Maluk is a long and lanky forward who will feature with Team Durant on the E16 circuit. Listed at 6’10” he is a shot-blocker who gets off the ground quickly from two feet. Maluk has a natural touch on his jumper. He consistently makes shots from 15 feet and three-point land. Maluk also has a go-to turnaround jumper that he utilizes.
Darren Moore Darren Moore 6'1" | PG Bullis | 2025 State MD | 16u DC Premier
Moore has been one of the best-kept secrets in MoCo, but not anymore. A quick lead guard from Northwest High School, he is a pest defensively who is good at denying his man off the ball and is a pick-pocket at the point of attack. Moore showed no fear during the scrimmage vs. Team Durant . He mixed it up in the paint and showed he can finish in the lane vs. length.
