NW Super 24 NXT WAVE Finals – Top 2027 Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The final weekend of the Hoopsource NW Super 24 NXT WAVE took place the last Saturday and Sunday of July, where the circuit's top 15U, 16U, and 17U/18U squads assembled at the Beaverton Hoop YMCA to determine the champions. We had the opportunity to drop by on both days to watch a number of games in the tournament bracket - including the 17U finals - and here's a look at the top performers from the Class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2026055"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3711945,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6ccc961415a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Huston hasn't played in the state of Oregon since his freshman year at Cascade Christian - he'll be at Monarch Academy in Kansas City in 2026-27 - but in our minds he'll always be an Oregonian. Playing his last AAU tournament with his friends, he helped lead A-Train OR Magic to the 17U/18U finals. He was unquestionably the top senior college prospect in the gym all weekend and it was evident in the way he athletically and physically overpowered defenders, especially on downhill drives to the basket where he either finished with authority or drew contact. He scored 20+ points in every game we watched and pulled down double-digit rebounds and registered 5+ assists in a couple of games as the ball was put in his hands to create. Huston noted that he'll be making visits to Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois-Chicago in the upcoming months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2211742"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3711946,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6ccc96141d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Khungra only played at the event on Saturday, but he shined brightly in both games for the [program_tooltip program_id='2850997' first='Cascade' last='Kings'] (Curtis). In the victory over Identity Basketball to determine the bracket's #1 seed, he exploded for 39 points and basically took over the game at the end, scoring 10 points in the closing minutes to secure the W. The second game was a loss, but the rising La Salle senior piled on another 27 points. His quickness going to the hoop simply could not be contained and his jumpshot was on target from deep. One college coach in attendance quipped that he may have been the top offensive player in the gym and the raw point totals seem to back that opinion up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2026890"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3711952,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6ccc961427a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shifting over from the [program_tooltip program_id='2850997' first='Cascade' last='Kings'] to play with his Barlow high school teammates with Identity Basketball, the rising senior capably showed all the traits of a true floor general. His balance with scoring the ball himself or facilitating for his teammates was perfect, and his all-around performance couldn't have been better represented than a 25-point, 7-rebound, 5-assist game in the team's last game of the tournament, a win over Net Worth Basketball. According to one college coach in attendance, his opinion was that Cummings was the most consistent performer the entire weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132803"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3711956,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6ccc96142e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As always, Hudson immediately drew attention with his energy and non-stop motor on both ends. The rising Benson senior was always in attack mode, looking to make something happen with the basketball in his hands, getting to the hoop as much as possible but also keeping defenses honest with his jumpshot. His intensity on defense was undeniable as he constantly harassed opposing ball-handlers all over the court. His name was brought up to us by several college coaches in attendance as one they'll be keeping close tabs on this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2539884"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3711959,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6ccc9614342"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Re-joining Net Worth Basketball on Sunday for the final weekend of the AAU season, Breaux immediately made a huge impact. The rising Wilsonville senior wing was simply unstoppble offensively, seemingly effortlessly gliding to the hoop for finishes around the rim and also showing good accuracy on his jumpshot. 27 points, including four threes, and 5 rebounds in a close loss to Identity Basketball in the team's last game of the tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
