<p class="text-gray-700">One of the top ranked 2026 prospects in attendance, Knox was a prospect I expected to be one of the top performers and certainly lived up to that reputation. One of the more athletic wing guards in northeast Ohio, Knox is tough to stop when he gets a head of steam going towards the rim. Playing through contact, Knox had some tough finishes and was one of the few players who drew fouls consistently in the paint. When Knox plays off two feet, it's tough to get him off balance. When Knox was walled off on a drive, he took a hold back dribble and made an excellent feed to a cutter which is a skill that will translate to the college level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the tougher guards in attendance, Foster Jr took a charge and put his body on the line on a few plays despite being one of the smaller guards in attendance. Showing impressive chemistry with his teammates, Foster Jr had a sweet alley-oop off the backboard and made a couple of nice passes to set teammates up.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Maybe the bounciest player in the gym, Chapman can get above the rim with ease. I always prefer two foot leapers above the rim and Chapman had some monster dunks off two feet that are just so tough to stop. Shining in the drills portion of the showcase, if Chapman can consistently make an impact in the halfcourt of 5 on 5 action he will continue to rise up our rankings.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I've become a fan of Usrey Martin as he continues to impact the game when I watch him play. Whether he's playing on the prep hoops circuit or in a showcase, Usrey Martin can use his length and size to score on the interior, rebound the ball and play above the rim. I also loved the big to big actions Usrey Martin had with [player_tooltip player_id='2833864' first='Elian' last='Arick'], the duo connected for a couple of assists to each other. One of a few new faces at Oregon Clay, they were well represented at the Expo and look like a team to watch in 2025-26. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The last standout from team 2, Withers knocked down set shots on the perimeter and had a nice scoop layup in the first 5 on 5 game of the day. Playing with a bunch of taller players on his team, Withers spaced the floor and used his speed to help push the pace.</p>
