Byron Robertson, 5’10 G – Burlington H.S. Class of 2026
I like this combo-guards offensive arsenal; Robertson is someone who can cause damage in numerous ways. He knocks down his looks with efficiency when spotting up, and he attacks hard close-outs with swift moves into the second layer. He finishes nicely at the rim and short-range, or he’ll hit spot-up shooters with crisp feeds. Plus, he organizes the offense intuitively and gets everyone involved. Solid.
Tej Stewart-Sudol, 6’3 G/W – Twinfield H.S. Class of 2026
A multi-positional talent who does a variety of things, Tej is plug and play. He’s a sizable 2-guard/wing who utilizes his size naturally. He runs the floor well and finishes in transition both at the rim and from range. In the halfcourt, he can open defenses up with his combination of shooting and passing. On the other end, Tej covers multiple positions with nice length, hits the glass, and then it’s off to the races.
Cooper McCurley, 5’10 G – Essex H.S. Class of 2026
Cooper is the epitome of dependable. McCurley’s offensive facilitation and distribution makes those around him better with his crisp passing, vision, and ability to read the D. Plus, he finishes his open looks at a high clip, not allowing the defense to sag off. The dependability transfers defensively; Cooper homes in both on the ball and off. He’s measured and smart, rarely gambling but disruptive.
Ben Koh, 5’11 G – Burlington H.S. Class of 2026
Here’s a combo-guard that gets in done in so many ways. Koh is a savvy offensive creator with 3-level scoring, often taking advantage of single coverage with high-level footwork + finishing at the cup. His orchestration continues to improve and with his smart decision-making Ben is quite efficient. Tough defensively with nice lateral quickness, Ben sticks to ballhandlers and forces difficult plays. Strong two-way guy.
Pascal Munezero, 5’9 G – Burlington H.S. Class of 2027
Pascal comes with a skillset that’s varsity ready. Munezero consistently creates and finishes look at all 3-levels, and his finishing package around the rim is flush with athleticism and savvy finishes on both sides of the rim. Moreover, he sees the floor well, operating as a high-impact playmaker. Munezero’s hustle and fire are all there, hustling for boards, locking in defensively, and leading on both ends. Love his upside.
Alex Jovell, 5’8 G – Champlain Valley Union H.S. Class of 2027
Jovell’s skillset and decision making is all there. He’s a tough finisher inside, his shot off the catch is smooth, and his distribution is clinical. Moreover, he’s one of the peskiest defenders around, digging in and putting in that work to frustrate offenses. Alex’s grit and spirit are quickly evident; he has no quit, wants to make those around him better, and does what it takes to play winning basketball.
Sawyer Judkins, 5’8 G – Burlington H.S. Class of 2027
A pure point guard, Sawyer’s a natural distributor and creator who can dice up a defense. The southpaw has a shifty handle and excellent footwork, creating space with ease and attacking defenders intuitively, whether it’s with the pass, slash, or shot. In addition, Sawyer’s intuition transfers to the defensive side of the rock; he reads angles, cuts ballhandlers off, and takes offenses out of rhythm. Savvy PG who keeps it smart and simple.
