Vaughn was an impressive two-way presence in the backcourt for Team 2. He showed off his ability to defend with pressure and didn’t hang his head when things didn’t go his way. He wasn’t afraid to mix it up in the painted area, either. Offensively, he showed he had a nice feel for shooting the ball on the perimeter and should be a solid piece in the future for Weddington High in the 2027 class.
Charlie Henson

Henson was an indispensable face to have in the Team 2 rotation given his prowess for defending multiple spots on the floor. He was another face who wasn’t afraid to mix it up defensively and battle on the rebounding front. He had a knack for doing the dirty work for his squad and making an impact as a defender and facilitator as his team went unbeaten throughout the showcase. He’s a name to keep an eye on in the 2027 class in South Carolina out of River Bluff High.
Ki’ree Pruitt
Ki’ree Pruitt
Pruitt was an active presence on the wing for Team 2 given his strong frame and length on the floor. He showed he could defend in the painted area, forcing turnovers and altering shots on the defensive end. As he continues to develop his ability to handle the ball and be assertive offensively, he’ll be a name out of Dutch Fork High who should make a splash in SC’s 2027 class.
McGraw was a gamechanger with his ability to be instant offense in every setting for Team 2. He was pivotal in creating in isolation and on the perimeter while knocking down shots at volume. He got hot in a hurry and never looked back while showing he could be an efficiency shot maker in the half court and on the break. As he shows he can be a presence on the defensive end with his length and athleticism, he’ll be a name to watch out of Gray Collegiate Academy in SC’s 2027 class.
Highlights
Joshua Davis
Joshua Davis
Davis was another gamechanger for Team 2 at the Carolinas Freshman Showcase with his ability to attack the rim, run the floor on both ends and snag every rebound that came his way. He’s a prospect with a nice blend of length and athleticism at 6-foot already who showed he could make an impact cleaning up the glass and finishing with authority at the rim. He was a catalyst for his squad every time the ball came his way. He’ll be one to track out of AC Flora High in SC very soon.
Jordan was another impressive face in the backcourt for Team 2 as he showed off his ability to make good decisions with the ball in his hands. He doesn’t get sped up defensively and is slowly learning how to lead by example as he did numerous times with his ability to knock down shots on the perimeter, operate off the bounce and find others in space. He’s developed nicely over the past few years and continues to show off his skill set on the PH platform. He’ll be a name to track at South Garner High in NC’s 2027 class.
Rumph was an impressive presence in the backcourt for Team 2 and found his confidence operating with the ball in his hands as the showcase wore on. Another coachable prospect who showed his poise getting downhill and finishing around the rim in traffic. He also showed he could space the floor with his ability to shoot the basketball and find others in space. He’s a name to keep an eye on at South Point High in NC’s 2027 class.
Brandon Ray Brandon Ray 5’11” | CG Eastside | 2027 State SC was a solid off-ball option for Team 2 to rely on when things got tight. He played well on the floor with other scorers, being patient to space the floor with his ability to knock down shots on the perimeter and finish plays as a cutter around the rim. As he shows he can create off the bounce, look for him to become quite the prospect in SC’s 2027 class at Eastside High.
Highlights
Echevarria was another gamechanger for Team 2 given his ability to turn things up and bring energy on the defensive end and quickly turn into offense on the other end. He used his length and quickness in a variety of ways to complement his teammates very well. He was probably the most vocal prospect for his squad on both ends of the floor, constantly communicating and looking to get his teammates involved in plays. He’ll be a fun prospect to track in SC’s 2027 class at Cardinal Newman High.
