He's a sharpshooting playmaker who's starting to show his poise at the point guard spot at just the right time and fresh off an NCISAA state championship with Caldwell Academy. He's got a college-ready frame, which allows him to effortlessly navigate the defense for paint touches and impressive plays. He's unselfish in finding his shooters in space for open looks and easy points while also showing off his ability to finish over taller defenders in the lane. He's an underrated prospect DI programs in the region would be wise to get eyes on.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Ayden2Shifty/status/1925375197739122953 </div></figure>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2173839' first='Max' last='Upchurch'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2078513' first='NC' last='Wildcats']</h3>   <p>Upchurch is a shifty 6-foot-3 guard who doesn't waste time or dribbles in getting to his spots. He was able to showcase his abilities this past weekend at the Phenom Hoops G3 Live Period with the [program_tooltip program_id='2078513' first='NC' last='Wildcats']. At 6-foot-3, he's shown he's more than capable of creating shots without the ball in his hands with his speed and quickness. He isn't afraid to get his nose dirty either in getting to loose balls and cleaning up broken plays. He's a high academic prospect with good instincts on both ends of the floor.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Maxup151/status/1924231344088883503 </div></figure>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">George Daniels | Fireball Basketball Academy</h3>   <p>An underrated combo guard in the 2026 class out of Middle Creek High and suiting up with Fireball Baskebtall Academy on the NextPro 16 stage. He's shown he can be a lethal presence shooting the ball on the perimeter, getting downhill off the bounce and also has shown his prowess defensively as a disruptor. He can disrupt plays with his instincts as a defender and gets started in a hurry on the break with his ability to push the pace. He's a prospect for DII and DIII programs in the region to keep an eye on.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GDanielsjr/status/1924214169009586497 </div></figure>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Noah vanBeurden | [program_tooltip program_id='2078471' first='Carolina' last='Riptide']</h3>   <p>van Buerden is quite the energy guy on the hardwood and should be a name to know in the [program_tooltip program_id='2078471' first='Carolina' last='Riptide'] rotation. He's a stat-sheet stuffer at the guard spot at 6-foot-4 as he showcased at the Phenom G3 Showcase in Raleigh this past weekend. He's creative in the attack but even more of a pest defensively which he utilizes to create quick scores for himself both getting to the paint and on the perimeter. He's slowly growing as a prospect for DI and DII programs to get to know in the region given his activity on the floor.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/noah_vanbeurden/status/1924180751505117605?s=46u0026amp;t=qEXdE3QMoZ3BIGZhga0-ng </div></figure>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2252142' first='Caleb' last='Knight'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2227290' first='Warriors' last='Life Elite']</h3>   <p>Knight is quite the lethal shooting guard to get to know with [program_tooltip program_id='2227290' first='Warriors' last='Life Elite']. He's hard to guard given his ability to score on all levels with his length and creativity. Off the catch, his ability to knock down shots on the perimeter is an asset at the next level. He's a confident operator with the ball in his hands who can finish in traffic and through contact. As he continues to put on muscle and improve, look for his recruitment to grow on the DII level with programs in the region. He's an underrated athlete at the shooting guard role who's really starting to find his stride on the hardwood.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/calebkn52250591/status/1924656273997377556?s=46u0026amp;t=qEXdE3QMoZ3BIGZhga0-ng </div></figure>
