RYZE HOOPS: Which Prospects Shined?

Jacob Zhu Jacob Zhu 5'11" | PG Next Level Academy | 2026 State GA execution converts plays from multiple looks on the floor. Zhu's size does not limit his ability to play both positions on the screen and roll. This included a low-high play where he began in the low post, and set a screen on the ball handling the forward's defender, creating a mismatch. He is a scoring threat, his game provides a variety of ways to be efficient and create a high value of good looks at the basket or scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Caleb Holt Caleb Holt 6'5" | SG Prolific Prep | 2026 #8 Nation FL was playing on both the 16u and 17u Game Elite. He was able to add some meaningful contributions to an already very deep Game Time Elite. Holt has been letting the game come to him this summer. His pace helps read the defender, attacking when any piece of the defense lacking. Maintains a balanced shooting discipline that makes him a threat from anywhere on the court. Adding International play to his resume, Caleb represented the USA Under 17

One of the most athletic guards I have seen at the grassroots level. Makes open court finishes in variety. Creates tempo by closing down the passing lanes with a high motor and length. Great defensive leader when able to pick up his defender high, ideal point defender in a 3-2 zone. High accuracy shooting from the wing when in rhythm. Jaron has earned an early upgrade to the Georgia Stars EYBL.

Jalan Wingfeild has pro-level size and athleticism. Wingfeild uses his incredible mechanics, strength, and length to create a tough matchup for the defender. He establishes his preferred position with size, and stellar footwork while maintaining ball security. Has a great touch and a high release around the rim to prevent any contest from the defense. On the perimeter, he has deadly spot-up potential and the ability to create space using a dribble pull-up.

Jake Mihalick Jake Mihalick 6'9" | SF Habersham Central | 2026 State GA minutes' with the HoopAtlanta 17u Black were impactful. The 6'9 wing is a ball hawk. On the offensive end, he traces the perimeter actively moving without the ball and looking for his shot, his mentality is focused on being prepared to receive the basketball or in a position to get it. Added to size, HoopAtlanta program coaches of all levels are excited about his development. Earning an opportunity to play at a high level produced a few good on-court opportunities and exposure at the 17u level purely based on effort and focus.
