PG/Combos
Darius Acuff (Cass Tech, MI – 2025)
Acuff is one of the top scorers in the EYBL and he is proving that against all his classmates in St. Louis. Strong bodied combo guard that is a flat out bucket getter. Stocky frame with burst getting downhill or pushing in the open floor to the bucket. Crisp shooter that makes threes off his creation in bunches including one where he hit off balance after shaking his defender. Can also play bully ball with his strength getting to rack.
Jasper Johnson (Woodford County, KY – 2025)
Johnson had some buzz coming into the night and continued it with a strong performance. Slick lead guard that gets anywhere he wants with his handles. Such a great player in transition with his speed and off the bounce loves the soft touch finishing game. Works well as a scorer or distributor in ball screen situations.
Kaden Magwood (Oak Hill Academy, VA – 2025)
Magwood is having a strong week. The combo guard is a plus scorer that is a knock down shooter off the catch that also is smooth in the open floor and had the pass of the night on a wrap around left handed dime from half court.
Marcus Johnson (Garfield Heights, OH – 2026)
Lefty lead guard that is fearless with the rock in his hands. Acrobatic getting in the paint and has a nice pull up jumper from two and three. Got his hands on some deflections and steals as well.
Kingston Flemings (Brennan, TX – 2025)
Flemings stood out in the final game of the evening. Athleticism at the lead guard position playing above the rim while also being a standout passer. Turns defense into offense fast.
Wings
Davion Hannah (Nicolet, WI – 2025)
Hannah continued his monster week on Friday night with another big performance. The athletic forward from Wisconsin did it all in eye popping fashion. Threw down some big dunks, hit threes off the catch in bunches, and overall brings so much energy.
Meleek Thomas (Lincoln Park, PA – 2025)
Best scorer in camp has to be Thomas. Especially from an isolation perspective. He is completely unguardable in 1 on 1 situations. Can score off the bounce with his creative handles getting to his spots, is a big time finisher moving without the ball or in transition, and drains contested jumpers over and over again!
Sadiq White (Myers Park, NC – 2025)
White is the best dunker at the camp so far. The super long and lanky combo forward made the final game of the night his own personal dunk contest. Alley oops and massive transition slams. He came over at half and said “I got a windmill for you.” Then he proceeded to throw down a spectacular full extension windmill jam.
Kiyan Anthony (LuHi, NY – 2025)
Anthony has more than proved he is one of the better wing scorers in camp this week. The offensive skill set is impressive with his crisp handles, IQ for the game, and just overall basketball savvy. Lethal shooter off the bounce that creates space and seems to always get his shots in rhythm. Had a sick reverse layup and often turned defense into offense getting stops and then taking them the other way. Such a sick floater game!
JJ Andrews (Little Rock Christian, AR – 2026)
It was a solid overall night as we caught parts of two different games from one of the nation’s top 2026 wings. Powerful frame and a high-motor. Pushed off his defense for dunks or dishes. Has a chance to be a monster defender with elite athleticism and emerging skill.
Dorian Jones (Richmond Heights, OH – 2025)
Jones was outstanding in the first game of the night as he first caught our attention with his defense. Moved his feet not letting guards get penetration and then racked up the steals. Also blocked a shot on a recovery. Offensively his jumper was on point as the two guard drained an array of threes and turn around jumpers.
Darius Adams (Manasquan, NJ – 2025)
Adams has been of my favorite wings this week. The skilled two guard has that it factor you just can’t teach. His intangible feel for the game is evident with the way he always seems to be in the right spot at the right time. Feel for passing it as a secondary playmaker. Hits the offensive glass with consistency. Plus shooter with a feathery shot.
Sebastian Williams-Adams (St. Johns, TX – 2025)
Strong forward that is tough as nails attacking the rim with force. Also flashed some passing feel as well.
Hudson Greer (Lake Travis, TX – 2025)
Greer has been one of the prospects with the most helium this week. Everyone seems to be talking about him. Athletic wing that has bounce, skill, and IQ. Cuts great without the ball. Can score effectively from all three levels posting up smaller wings, shoot it, and play above the rim with his pop.
Kayden Edwards (Duncanville, TX – 2025)
Edwards had a lights out shooting display for a stretch in one of the games we saw as the two guard drained one after another. Can’t leave him open!
Trent Perry (LoneStar, TX – 2026)
Like what we saw from this skilled wing. Plus shooter from three off the catch that can also knock them in with pull ups from two and mixed in a couple takes off the bounce.
Brandon Stores Jr (St. Raymonds, NY – 2025)
Stores quietly racked up the points in the final game of the night. Strong bodied wing that got it done in transition by using his strength to score in the paint with regularity.
Posts
Sam Funches (Germantown, AL – 2026)
Funches has a little old school Sam Perkins to his game! The five man from Alabama has a silky smooth shooting stroke like the former big man who played a long time in the NBA. Funches has a high release point and an effortless shot. He was money off the catch and in pick/pop situations. More than just a shooter the athleticism is there as a rim runner and a shot blocker with his superior length.
Daniel Marcellinus (Prolific Prep, CA – 2025)
Huge bodied five man that plays with a lot of power. He absolutely mauled on the interior throwing his opponents under the basket and then finishing.
Xzavion Mitchell (Oshkosh North, WI – 2025)
Mitchell is a utility four man that can do a little bit of everything. He has solid skill being able to shoot and pass, runs the floor, and is an active defender.
Marial Akuentok (Fort Erie International, CAN – 2025)
Akuentok swatted a shot off the wall about 5 feet from my head when I walked over to watch the second half of their game. Plus shot blocker that either blocks or alters everything near the basket. Elite offensive rebounder with his timing and finishing ability.
Jaden Toombs (Dynamic Prep, TX – 2025)
Toombs is a power five man that went to his go to hook shot over and over again. It either went down or he was fouled. When they took it away he countered with a couple nice power conversions. Even hit a pick/roll runner.
Badara Diakite (Northwest Catholic, CT – 2025)
Rim running big man that sprints the floor with so much fluidity. Threw down dunks on the pick/roll action. Mixed in some soft touch moves as well with a floater and a sick euro step.
Amare Bynum (Bryan, TX – 2025)
Was efficient in the final game of the night. High/low seals, showed good hands around the rim, and even stepped out to hit a three.
