Caleb Wilson Caleb Wilson 6'10" | PF Holy Innocents | 2025 State #3 Nation GA (6’9/SF/’25/Holy Innocents’)

Caleb is a highly versatile wing that gets it done inside and out. His 6’9 frame is lanky with good positional size. His bag is loaded, as he can score in a variety of ways at all levels. He shot the ball well from deep and displayed his middle game. He handles the ball well not only in the open court but also in tight spaces. He makes good decisions with the rock in his hands, and with so much attention on him, he is a willing passer that gets his teammates the ball for open looks. His size at his position, along with all he can do with the rock, continues to cause his stock to rise, especially when he puts on performances as he did at the #GBCALive. Caleb is a difficult match-up and a threat to most players on the high school level, and as he stays in the lab, he will only become more difficult to contain. Defensively his length was a factor as he protected the rim, defended well in ball screens, and could switch in most situations. He struggled with the size that Tucker HS eventually put on him, but that is just an indicator that he has to stay in the weight room, preparing his body for the next level.
Ja’mier Jones (6’6/W/’25/Oak Ridge)

Ja’mier was one of the most explosive players that I saw on Saturday. His strength and build are improving, and his 6’6 frame is beginning to add muscle to it. His play sticks out immediately as he brought a lot of effort, energy, and tenacity to the floor, which was very contagious to his teammates. He is a high riser that is quick off the floor that flies around, making plays all over the floor on both ends. He is an elite athlete with an explosive 2-footed leaping ability, which was seen as he tried to annihilate the rim every time he took off. His activity on the offensive end of the floor was unmatched as he was slicing up defenses off the bounce. In the game I saw, he did not show much when it came to his perimeter scoring game because he was getting everything he wanted off the bounce and at the rim. He exerts so much energy on the offensive end of the floor that, at times, it looks like he brings the throttle down on the defensive end of the floor when he has to sit down and guard, which is one thing that could keep his stock rising: his play on the offensive end coupled with lockdown defense. One thing is for sure, his upside is tantalizing.
Kyle Greene Kyle Greene 6'3" | PG Pace Academy | 2024 State #155 Nation GA (6’3/PG/’24/Pace Academy)
Kyle has a very mature game with a high PG IQ. He is a dynamic playmaker who is tough and fearless and willing to take on all challenges on both ends of the floor. He was in the upper echelon of PGs I saw at the event, as his floor game is absolutely brilliant. He is a major threat in transition, as he is constantly putting pressure on the rim. He took and made some tough shots and has earned a little freedom to take those types of shots. Overall, Kyle is a quick PG with scoring instincts and is at his best when the offense is his to control, the tempo is his to set, and he is able to dictate the pace of play. He finished well at the rim in traffic and thru contact. I also liked his defensive efforts, especially his play in help side.
Sinan Huan (7’0/C/’26/Windermere Prep)

Sinan had a lot of interested people at his game as two things stood out: his 7’0 frame and his 2026 classification. I was pleasantly surprised with his assertiveness in establishing post position. He really worked for deep position and did not allow the physical play of defenders to rattle him. He showed a lot of poise and patience on his post catches and his attacks to the basket. He controlled the game for two seconds, surveyed for the double, and from there, made the right decisions with the ball. You would think that the defensive end of the floor would be his calling card and the ability to protect the rim and alter shots, but he is a highly skilled big with good offensive skills and IQ. He dominated in the paint, especially over smaller defenders, and even showed the ability to step out and knock down the trey ball. Despite being a rising sophomore, his usage rate is high, and he is going to be a valuable big at the next level due to his impact on both ends and his athletic abilities. He has to continue to stay in the weight room as he has to get stronger, especially with his upper body and his hands, as he got the ball dislodged out of his hands a few times.
Shayah Goba (6’4/W/’24/Mount Vernon)

Shayah had the entire toolkit on display. He is a highly athletic wing with experience and skill. He was tough off the bounce as he knifed his way through defenses and finished at and above the rim, even when contested. He is a dangerous isolation scorer, which is frightening for defenders to find themselves in when they are in one-on-one situations against him. Shayah can score when given even the slightest bit of space, including against set defenses. He is a really crafty wing who has a knack for scoring. As good as his scoring prowess is, he also put on display his vision and passing skills. He uses his ability to get to the paint to create open shots for his teammates. Overall he is a multi-level scorer who is very talented in putting up numbers.
Sadiq White (6’8/W/’25/Myers Park)

Sadiq immediately showed that he was different as he was highly vocal on the defensive end of the floor. He barked out orders, and his teammates responded with excellent movement to his verbal cadence. He was very assertive on the offensive end of the floor, demanded the ball, and played ferociously. He showed his ability to score at all levels, but in the game, I saw him he was a force in the interior. He showed superb footwork and finishing ability in the paint and at the rim. Everything that he did offensively was fluid yet imposing. Sadiq has a vast scoring repertoire and makes no apologies about the pressure he puts on defenses with his aggressive scoring mindset. He is highly active on the glass and on the interior of the defense, contesting shots. I would like to see him be more solid when setting screens if he is going to be used in that manner on his high school team. Playing out of the ball screen action as the roll or the pop guy will provide him with different ways to be a threat.
