Moustapha Thiam Moustapha Thiam 7’1″ | C DME Academy | 2025 State #10 Nation FL is a unicorn-like shot blocker. The 7’2 junior is has an elite frame, a ridiculous wingspan, and a willingness to go after every shot that goes up from the paint. He runs the floor like a gazelle, finishes above the rim with power, and has soft touch. Great lob threat who can space the floor change shots in the paint.
Andre Ngomabie is a scrappy 6’8 so power forward with the length to affect passing lanes and muck up the paint. He runs the floor, has a solid frame, and shows room for offensive potential. His production is fueled by play hard but flashes of post scoring over shot blockers give him a brighter outlook.
Matt Biembongo is a smooth 6’9 post player. His footwork allowed him to slip past defenders in the post. He has touch with his right hand hook. The 2024 prospect has great balance while operating on the block. He’s light on his feet and finishes above the rim off vertical.
Kalvin Venegeto Kalvin Venegeto 6'10" | C The Rock | 2025 State FL has grown a lot over the season. He’s adapting to the American game and gaining confidence on the court. Venegeto is getting to spot, running the floor, and making defensive plays at a higher level against better front court talent. At 6’9 with proportionate length he’s able to block shots and record deflections in the paint.
Ryan Jones Ryan Jones 6'9" | PF The Rock | 2024 State #48 Nation FL ‘ shooting is a true game changer for the Rock. He’s a massive 6’10 power forward with knock down range beyond the three point line. He can score out of the post as a face up four. The Virginia Tech commit creates shots off the dribble, finishes through contact, and provides energy on both ends of the floor. He can push the ball in transition finding teammates and putting pressure on the rim.
