<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The 2029 class had some exciting games and several players who stood out. Here are a few who had impactful performances…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2849819,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/PHN-Dylan-Dewayne-Govan-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/PHN-Dylan-Dewayne-Govan-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2849819" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Dylan Dewayne Govan</strong> (5'8/CG/2029/WCA Jaguars) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: ynt.dylan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @dylangovan2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Dylan is a young backcourt talent who is small in stature but really excelled in transition. He thrives in space, as he can use his speed and shiftiness to create offense. He impacts the game on both ends with his quickness, particularly on the defensive end of the court, as he is really good at forcing turnovers and getting steals. Offensively, he also showed his ability to knock down the three, forcing defenders to play him for the drive and his outside shot.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2849820,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/PHN-Drew-Baugus-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/PHN-Drew-Baugus-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2849820" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2822334' first='Drew' last='Baugus']</strong> (6'2/F/2029/[program_tooltip program_id='2441062' first='Tennessee' last='Marathon']) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: drewbaugus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Drew is a versatile inside and out talent who makes hustle plays on both ends of the floor. He has good positional size for his grade and uses his size to impact the score sheet across multiple categories. He didn't provide a lot of scoring when I watched him play, but he did bring toughness and physicality to the floor. He was active on the glass and showed versatility on the defensive end of the floor with his ability to guard inside and out. To sum up what I saw in Drew's game, he plays tough, is a good rebounder, and is a willing defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2849821,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/PHN-Giles-Sumner-Brown-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/PHN-Giles-Sumner-Brown-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2849821" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Giles Sumner Brown</strong> (5'10/SG/2029/PSB Nashville) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Giles_brown3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Gilesbrown03</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Giles showed his potential as a scorer and his willingness to compete regardless of the score. His team struggled in the match-up I saw them compete in, but Giles's play stood out throughout. He flashed playmaking skills and the ability to create offense off the bounce for himself and his teammates. He is very good at taking advantage of driving lines when they become available. I was impressed with his competitive fire.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2849822,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/Stuart-Parkin.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/Stuart-Parkin.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2849822" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Stuart Parkin</strong> (5'11/SG/2029/SI Raptors) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: stuartparkin12</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Stuart is a skilled shooting guard and very heady. His game is filled with craftiness, from his ball-handling to his finishing ability. He does a good job getting into the heart of the defense and making plays. There is still some necessary physical development needed but the production is there. Along with his craftiness, he has developing straight-line speed as well as the ability to change pace and can impact the game with his style of play.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2849823,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/Kemoni-McGowan.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/Kemoni-McGowan.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2849823" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Kemoni Jamon McGowan</strong> (5'11/Wing/2029/[program_tooltip program_id='2441062' first='Tennessee' last='Marathon']) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: moni4x__</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @[player_tooltip player_id='2822332' first='Kemoni' last='Mcgowan']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kemoni led his team with a game-high 13pts in a 54-24 win against PSB. He put his scoring arsenal on display and showed his ability to score at all levels. If I was doing a sniper school article he would definitely qualify as he made a minimum of three three-pointers in a game I was watching. He brings energy and effort to both ends of the floor and plays with a ton of confidence. Kemoni is a young, hard-nosed competitor who plays hard on both ends.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2849824,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/PHN-Dylan-Dever-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/PHN-Dylan-Dever-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2849824" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2847368' first='Dylan' last='Dever']</strong> (5'6/PG/2029/PSB) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Dylandever_2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Dylan is a small, crafty point guard with solid PG skills. He is a pass-first PG with vision and good passing ability. I was surprised with his ability to score the rock with his size, but he was able to score out in transition as well as knock down the trey ball. He had moments where he did a good job controlling the game's tempo and keeping teammates involved. As he gets ready to jump to high school, his size will be questioned, but his IQ and skillset are there. I encourage Dylan to control what he can, and that is getting better every day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
