The talented combo guard consistently impacted the game on both ends of the floor, but his outside shooting immediately grabbed attention. Whether spotting up in catch-and-shoot situations or creating space off the dribble, he showed confidence and consistency from beyond the arc. His ability to knock down perimeter shots forced defenses to extend, creating additional opportunities for himself and his teammates. Defensively, he was equally impressive. He brought relentless energy on every possession and applied constant pressure to opposing ball-handlers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3662631,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/PHN-Malik-Brinkley-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/PHN-Malik-Brinkley-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3662631" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Malik Brinkley </strong>(6'5/C/2031/E2G) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Malik is an interior presence who made his mark with his play on the defensive end and on the glass. His size and length were major factors throughout the game, as opponents struggled to combat his physical tools. He is still developing offensively, but his size allows him to finish around the rim effectively. As he continues to expand his low-post scoring arsenal and eventually develops more perimeter skills, Malik will be a prospect worth keeping a close eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3662632,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/PHN-Damari-McDowell-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/PHN-Damari-McDowell-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3662632" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Damari McDowell </strong>(5'9/CG/2032/Central Georgia Empact Wolves) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: marisoblatt</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Damari may not have the flashiest game, but his impact is impossible to ignore. The versatile combo guard consistently found ways to contribute to winning basketball. He displayed a mature offensive approach, showing comfort both on and off the ball while utilizing a multi-level scoring package to keep defenders honest. His perimeter shot was reliable, his decision-making was sound, and his ability to create opportunities for teammates stood out throughout the day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3662635,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/PHN-Cameron-Clayton-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/PHN-Cameron-Clayton-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3662635" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Cameron Clayton </strong>(5'4/CG/2031/MDA) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: cam_bball</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">TikTok: cam_082</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Cameron quickly established himself as one of the premier perimeter threats on the floor. His shooting ability demanded attention from the moment he stepped onto the court. Defenders were forced to locate him constantly because of his ability to knock down shots from deep. Whenever he found space, he made opponents pay. What was equally impressive was his ability to adjust when defenses took away the three-point line. He showed flashes of a developing floor game and demonstrated the ability to attack closeouts, create off the bounce, and generate offense for himself and teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3662640,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/PHN-Makhai-Monday-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/PHN-Makhai-Monday-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3662640" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Makhai Monday </strong>(5'7/PG/2031/Empact Wolves) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: khaisolucki</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @khaisolucki</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">TikTok: heyykhai</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Makhai played every possession like it mattered. The energetic lead guard brought toughness, grit, and a relentless competitive spirit every time he touched the floor. When his team needed offense, he had the ability to create something out of nothing, often producing points outside the normal flow of the offense. His aggressive mindset led to several momentum-changing plays throughout the day. Whether attacking defenders off the dribble, crashing the glass, or securing 50/50 balls, he consistently found ways to impact winning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3662641,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/PHN-Landyn-White-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/PHN-Landyn-White-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3662641" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Landyn White </strong>(5'9/PG/2032/Honors Sports Academy) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Landynandersonwhite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Landyn showcased many of the qualities coaches look for in a young point guard.

His court vision stood out as he repeatedly found teammates in scoring positions while keeping the offense organized and flowing smoothly. He also demonstrated his ability to stretch defenses with his perimeter shooting, making him a threat both as a scorer and facilitator.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
