DMV Live I: 2025 Stock Risers

DMV Live Session I is in the books and as usual, the event drew coaches of all levels from around the country to evaluate the high level of talent in the DMV area. In this article, we'll look at some 2025 prospects that helped boost their stock.   [player_tooltip player_id='1367431' first='Adrien' last='Stevens'] | Bullis   Stevens' phone was busy on June 15, the date when Division I programs could officially contact the rising junior class. The 6'4 guard showed why his stock is on the rise this weekend with his ability to get downhill, use his frame to overwhelm smaller defenders and unlock his violent athleticism when taking flight around the basket. His positional versatility at both ends was also a factor in George Mason, Providence, Rhode Island and Virginia Tech extending offers since the conclusion of the weekend. Stevens averaged 11.3 point and seven rebounds per game as Bullis went 3-1.    [player_tooltip player_id='1956071' first='Adlan' last='Elamin'] | Paul VI   Elamin is a name that has been on the rise as well since his spring began with Team Takeover 16s on the EYBL Circuit. His long, lanky frame at 6'7-6'8 parlayed with his ability to shoot it from range are at a premium in today's game. VCU extended an offer as a result of Elamin's play and it's safe to say his name is circled on a number of other coach's roster booklets. He averaged 8.8 points on 56.3 percent shooting from deep while hauling in 4.5 rebounds per game for PVI.    [player_tooltip player_id='1370513' first='Malik' last='Washington'] | Archbishop Spalding   Despite being a highly sought after football prospect at the quarterback position, Washington had several Division I programs doing their homework due to his endless motor, competitive energy and tremendous production. The 6'5 forward had the best individual scoring performance with 36 points in a win over Highland going 16/20 from the field. Washington does his damage in the open floor as a lob threat, finishing tough drives while embracing contact and even showed off improved touch on his mid-range jumper. The intangibles that Washington brings as a leader has been well-documented by me on previous articles. He finishes posting 24.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and four assists per game averages.    [player_tooltip player_id='1494118' first='Wyatt' last='Norton'] | Bishop O'Connell   Norton impressed throughout his first showing with O'Connell at Maryland Team Camp a couple of weekend back. That production continued at DMV Live. The Knights has a roster loaded with young talent and Norton seems to have found his niche providing a versatile scoring threat and an edge as a power forward. Norton averaged 7.5 points and six rebounds per contest.     Luca Bevilacqua | George School   Bevilacqua was one of the top bigs that I saw over the weekend and much had to do with his massive 6'11 frame. He's an anchor in the paint defensively and is no stranger of using his brute strength on the block to make his way to the rim or create space for easy hooks. Bevilacqua also did a nice job of relocating on the baseline making himself available for penetrating guards to find him for 10-to-15 foot jumpers. He and 2024 guard Christian Bliss displayed impressive cohesion in high ball screen situations. Bevilacqua averaged 18 points and six rebounds per game while picking up offers from Fairfield and Penn State.    Caden Chinnia-Faline | John Carroll   Chinnia-Faline is a name to watch this season in the BCL for John Carroll as he steps into a bigger role. Playing in the uptempo system, the 6'3 guard will get his fair share of shots and over the weekend in the two games that he played in, he took advantage. Chinnia-Faline finished averaging an impressive 23.5 points while pulling in a handful of rebounds per game.    [player_tooltip player_id='1494077' first='Jacob' last='Wallace'] | DeMatha   Wallace is one of the many pit bull guards that head coach Mike Jones at his disposal. The 6'0 dual sport standout (football) is a menace on the defensive end when playing on or off the ball. Offensively he gets into the paint with regularity using his burst to gain an edge on his defender. On his drives he uses his vision as a passer or his toughness when called upon to finish through contact. Wallace came through with the shot of the weekend against PVI in overtime where he converted on the game-winner en route to 15 points. He finished with averages of 12 points, 5.6 rebounds five assists and 2.2 steals per game.    [player_tooltip player_id='1351693' first='Kade' last='Sebastian'] | DeMatha   The Stags are loaded with talent among various classes and if you've never seen them play, you may be unaware of Coach Jones' willingness to play 12-13 guys per game. Sebastian is one of the key contributors at 6'4 who can fill roles as a guard or wing. He stretches the floor with his shot making off the catch and can finish competently around the basket on straight-line drive or in the open floor. Sebastian averaged 10.4 points and four rebounds for the 5-0 Stags.    [player_tooltip player_id='1759729' first='Cameron' last='Mise'] | Hargrave Military   Mise made a splash with his scoring prowess and consistency in doing so through the four games that Hargrave participated in. The 6'0 lead guard averaged 25.7 points per game while doing his due diligence on the glass for his position. Mise also corralled 10 rebounds per game helping his team to a 3-1 overall record. Arguably posting the most impressive stat line of the weekend, it's only right that Mise finds his name onto the radars of college programs.
