15U
Kevin Benson – 6’4″ / 2027 / Imhotep Charter / East Coast Power HGSL / Wing: Benson is one of the most accurate 3-point shooters is Pennsylvania’s Class of 2027. Once he has established his ability to rain in threes, Benson will use that asset to set up his dribble drives. He has the length and hops to finish his rack attacks on defender’s heads. Benson is also a speedy and athletic prospect, so he excels on the fast break. Plus, he possesses the handles and basketball IQ to play point guard if needed.

Jordan Shaffer Jordan Shaffer 6'4" | SG Abington Heights | 2026 State PA – 6’4″ / 2026 / Abington Heights / NEPA Elite / Wing: Shaffer is a taller and athletic wing with a quick trigger and NBA three-point range on his jumper. He is skilled at hitting mid-range pull ups too. Or he can put the ball on the deck and get all the way to the cup. Shaffer is the recipient of frequent double teams. In those situations, he smartly moves the ball to an open teammate. In 2023-24 Shaffer helped lead AH to 22-0 regular season record, the District 2-5A title and an appearance in the 5A state Elite 8. Shaffer has received interest from Lafayette and took an unofficial visit to that campus.
Jelani Easter Jelani Easter 6'4" | PG Central Dauphin | 2026 State PA – 6’4″ / 2026 / Central Dauphin / Team Final EYCL / Wing: This athletic prospect with serious lift is your prototypical slashing wing prospect. After Easter has blown past his man off the dribble, he will not hesitate to elevate in traffic and dunk on everyone. Easter can also score in the via his feathery mid-range jumpers and back door cuts to the rim for easy buckets. Additionally, Easter can create off the dribble for teammates. This winter Easter averaged 11.7 points and 3 rebounds per game. On defense, Easter’s quick hands produce a host of steals each game. He is a plus rebounder too.

Carnell Henderson Carnell Henderson 6'5" | SF Imhotep Charter | 2025 State PA – 6’4″ / 2025 / Imhotep Charter / BW Elite / Wing: During the July 2023 circuit, we recognized Henderson as a breakout prospect. This winter Henderson was a key rotation piece for Imhotep 5A state championship team. Then earlier this month in a Donofrio Classic game he posted 31 points (6 threes). In short, heading into the Pitt Jam Fest, Henderson has a great deal of momentum behind him. In addition to his automatic perimeter shooting, Henderson can play in transition as a ball handler or scoring wing. On defense his height, wingspan and quickness enable Henderson to guard 1 through 4.
