Big Shots Richmond Jam: 2027 MD/VA Wing/Bigs Standouts

Over the weekend, Big Shots and Paul Biancardi set up shop at Henrico & Events Center featuring over 190 teams from the East Coast. Over the course of this week, I'll break down scouting notes on prospects from the 15-17 age group levels in a variety of states.   <a href="https://prephoops.com/2026/04/big-shots-richmond-jam-md-va-2027-guard-standouts/">For the 2027 MD/VA guards, click here.</a>   I start with the 2027 MD/VA wing/bigs that caught my eye below.    Enjoyed the spurts that Drayton put forth throughout the weekend especially when going against opposing 6'10"+ bigs where he allowed his mobility and versatility from the perimeter to help gain advantages. When guarding the more physical, big-bodied centers, Drayton did a nice job defensively avoiding contact to draw a whistle and instead, remaining vertical to disrupt looks around the rim or getting a finger on them to record the block. If he wasn't finishing dump-offs on the offensive end, Drayton was getting his touches from the top of the key or high-post and looking to go to work from there. He beat his man off the dribble and got to the cup or on a few occasions, converted tough step-backs with soft touch.     I was looking forward to getting a live look at Dunbar since my last was back in the fall. The first thing that stood out was the muscle that he's put on since then and adding to his frame has clearly not impeded with his overall athleticism. If anything, I'd say his activity around the rim and ability to finish over it or through contact on his way seemed vastly improved with his showing in Richmond. Dunbar is still more of an undersized four at this point, but plays with a commanding presence and controls the glass within his area at the rate of someone who is an inch or two taller.     Jones continues his production and while he was limited to just one day of action after suffering an injury that kept him sidelined for Sunday's action only, he gave enough on Saturday to be included on this list. What stood out to me about Jones in comparison to other viewings was how quickly he can get into his shot off the catch. On this Showcase team, he has enough playmaking guards that allow him to space out and take advantage off their paint touches to show off his touch from outside. While he had to present as a five man for New Town this high school season due to lack of size on the roster, I categorize him more as a 4/3 at this point, with real potential to make the transition to a full-time 3 in college.     Farley is more of a sleeper prospect for the time being, but as more eyes get on him and the role that he fills for this [program_tooltip program_id='2078817' first='Virginia' last='Elite'] team, word will spread. A bouncy, 6-foot-5 forward, Farley made several plays above the rim over the weekend that caught the attention of the crowd and the videographers along the baseline. He's a springy athlete who, with a clear path for takeoff, can get his elbow to the rim and finish thunderous dunks or rundown players in transition for blocks. The rest of his skillset is still a work in progress at this point, but he showed some positive signs as a guy who can convert jumpers from 15-to-17 with some regularity.
