Here is a look at some of those players that you need to watch. In the past we have been lucky enough to locate and watch players such as Tyran Stokes Tyran Stokes 6'7" | SF Prolific Prep | 2026 State CA-N , Gene Roebuck, AJ Dybansta, JJ Mandaquit and others, so here is a look at Who’s Got Next.
Lleyton Leonard || AZ Unity EYBL || 2028
The locked in lefty is a serious hooper and he is smooth with it showcasing his all-around skills. One of the skills that absolutely jumps out at you is his movement. He is always moving around on offense and defense. Onthe offensive side of the ball he is cutting and changing speeds that will help him get open looks and passers can find pockets for him to expose and it also helps him get easy put-backs on the glass. Defensively he locks in and he can defend multiple positions but once again that movement allows him to help and close in lanes and rebound and go. The West is wild right now with talent busting out of the seems and Lleyton is at the forefront.
Owen Eteuati-Edwards || DSTKT || 2028
The big fella has really matured and with him being a true 3 sport athlete he brings a lot more to the table than most players that specialize. He is a stud on the baseball field, football field and obviously the basketball floor. Love his Instagram handle @manchild_10 because that is exactly what he is and what he is going to be. He projects high and he actually resembles a player that once payed at BYU Bronson Kaufusi who played both football and basketball at the college D1 level and ended up playing professional football. He is a force in the pick n’ roll and he is just scratching the surface with the rest of his game. He is a high ceiling next level talent. Keep an eye on him out West.
Josh Agbo || L.A Soldiers || 2028
One of the best shooters with some size out West as e is a knockdown catch and shoot wing. Give him space to get his feet right and line it up he his going to shoot it at a high percentage. Footwork is solid and when he is on the move without the ball he does a great job of squaring up those shoulders. Besides that elite shooting ability he does take the ball off the bounce and attacks really well, you can see the development in his mid-range as well.
Chris Hunt Jr. || Duncanville High School || Texas
This class of 2027 PG will be ushering in a new era at Duncanville one of the best traditional high school in the country out in Texas. Chris is a playmaking PG that not only scores the ball he is a player that brings so much value to a team with the way he can draw multiple defenders and kick the ball to open players.
Beckham Black Beckham Black 6'1" | PG Duncanville | 2027 State TX || Duncanville High School || Texas
Let’s stay in Texas and in the Class of 2027 as Beckham is a player that teams will not sleep on as they made that early mistake with his older brother that is on the Orlando Magic as a rookie this year. Beckham is coming along nicely and he continues to follow the formula that was left for him to follow but he i a kid that is scoring from all levels and he is a shooter that can make you pay from deep. Give hima few years and he is going to be a household name for sure.
