Devin Booker Devin Booker 6'5" | SF Cristo Rey Philadelphia | 2025 State #347 Nation PA – 6’5″ / 2025 / Cristo Rey / K-Low Elite / Wing: In 2023-24 Booker averaged 17.8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 swats per game. He also drained threes at a 43% clip (64 3PM), guided Cristo Rey to their second consecutive PJAA title and was an All-League selection. Yet it feels like this winter was a quiet season for Booker. But when this long an athletic scoring machine gets out on the grassroots circuit, we expect he will make plenty of noise. Booker thrives in transition, can score off the dribble and obviously owns an automatic jump shot. We expect his pile of twelve offers to grow significantly in the coming months.
Jalen Chiles Jalen Chiles 6'1" | PG Friends Select | 2025 State PA – 6’1” / 2025 / Friends Select / BW Elite / Combo Guard: As a junior the dynamic Chiles posted 17.5 points 4.3 assists and 5 rebounds per game. Chiles also shot 40% from the arc this season. He is a multi-skilled prospect who can play either guard spot as well as score at all three levels. He can also push the fast break to score or distribute. In the half-court, Chiles can serve as a distributing floor general. On defense, he is a menacing on-ball presence.
Eb Ehigie – 6’6″ / 2026 / Westtown School / PA Hoops Academy / Small Forward: Ehigie is a developing prospect from Ireland who did not see major minutes for the Moose in 2023-24. However, we are predicting that this long as well as athletic prospect with hops and an impressive wingspan will post a breakout spring circuit. Ehigie plays as a traditional small forward. He can convert from the dunker spot, run the wing on a fast break and score via the offensive glass. Plus, he will pop the occasional 3-ball. On defense Ehigie is an intimidating shot blocker.
Silas Graham Silas Graham 6'4" | CG Haverford School | 2027 State PA – 6’4″ / 2027 / Haverford School / East Coast Power / Combo Guard: As an 8th grader Graham proved that he was a smooth athlete who could score at every level. Then as a freshman starter, Graham scored 14 points per game, but he also displayed much improved point guard skills. In the open court he executed creative and timely dimes. In the half-court, Graham (1st Team All-Inter-AC) showed an ability to direct Haverford’s sets. His patience and composure while handling the rock versus pressure was impressive. This spring, Graham’s improved point guard skills will flourish on a ECP 16U squad that is filled with shooters and prospects who move well without the ball.
