Ben Brophy Ben Brophy 6'3" | PG Hardin Valley | 2025 State TN (Hardin Valley)
Ben is a pure scorer. Decently quick, Ben is always looking for that edge, that half-step. He plays with an excellent awareness of his defender’s momentum and vulnerabilities. BB does not play above the rim, and that will limit his ceiling, but he creates in so many different ways with the basketball that he remains hard to stop.
King Hubbard King Hubbard 6'4" | SG Bearden | 2025 State TN (Bearden)
King, always springy, developed his jumper in the last year, and it vaulted him up the PrepHoopsTN rankings. He can defend the 3/4 in high school, but probably winds up play the 2/3 in college, so any shooting range at all broadens his appeal.
Shane Cherry Shane Cherry 5'9" | PG Austin-East | 2025 State #353 Nation TN (Austin-East)
The best point guard in 2025, Shane Cherry Shane Cherry 5'9" | PG Austin-East | 2025 State #353 Nation TN is a freak. The dude jumps like Nate Robinson. His athleticism is otherworldly. Other than shot selection and defensive commitment, there are almost no weaknesses to Cherry’s game and his potential is absurdly high. High-major guard.
