Nolan Behm – 6’4” / 2025 / CB East / Small Forward: Behm is a skilled and high IQ second option for CB East. He excels at knocking down triples off kick outs. Behm can also slash to the cup for a catch and lay-in. This junior pumped in 17 points (3 threes) and grabbed 6 boards in East’s first game of the season.
Trey Kern Trey Kern 6'4" | SF Boyertown | 2025 State PA – 6’5” / 2025 / Boyertown / East Coast Power / Small Forward: Back in September Kern caught our eye with his outstanding play at the Never Forget Classic. Now this lefty has opened the 2023-24 season with a headline grabbing 26 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks performance in a win over Kennett. He is a stretch-4 style prospect who produces points via post ups, dives to the rim, dribble drives from the elbows and the occasional 3-ball.
Miles Longacre Miles Longacre 6'4" | PF Quakertown | 2024 State PA – 6’4″ / 2024 / Quakertown / East Coast Power / Wing: We told you in our preview of Under the Radar Prospects from the Suburban One league that Longacre was a player to watch this winter. He made us look smart by dropping a 40-burger (25 in 1H; 4 3PM) during Quakertown’s season opening win. Obviously, Longacre can splash threes. But his mid-range game is what really kills opponents. His ability to score off dribble drives is solid too.
Carter Smith Carter Smith 6'3" | CG Penn Charter | 2028 PA – 6’2” / 2028 / Penn Charter / Triple Threat / Combo Guard: For an eighth grader to crack the rotation for this year’s deep and talented PC squad is impressive. For that same player to start and make significant contributions is ridiculous. Smith did just that by posting games of 10 and then 20 points to tip off the 2023-24 high school season. Smith is a smooth athlete with excellent instincts who can score at all three levels.
Achilles Tucker-Turner – 6’1” / 2024 / Malvern Prep / 610 City / Combo Guard: First and foremost, Tucker-Turner is a menacing defender who picks pockets and knifes through passing lanes for steals. At the offensive end, Tucker-Turner owns a feathery jump shot that is accurate on mid-range pull ups and three balls. Tucker-Turner (11 points in MP’s opener) can also score and distribute off the dribble.
