SEBA All-Star Shootout: Top Sleepers

Reid is a Swiss Army knife guard who can impact the game in a variety of. When it comes to scoring, he is a long-range bomber with a quick release and picture-perfect shooting form. He plays with a high level of fundamentals when attacking closeouts and pushing the pace in transition, showing the ability to get downhill and finish around the rim. Throughout the day, Reid also showed that he can be an effective distributor from the lead guard spot, consistently finding teammates for easy scoring opportunities. His combination of shooting, playmaking, and overall feel makes him a versatile piece who can fit into a variety of lineups.     Shepard was one of the more underrated prospects who caught my eye throughout the day. The 6-foot-8 big brings a physical presence around the cup and is a tall task for opposing interior defenders to handle. He also does a lot of the little things that are necessary from a successful big, including setting solid screens and creating space around the basket to open up driving lanes for teammates. Shepard consistently puts pressure on the offensive glass as well, creating second-chance opportunities through his activity and physicality. His combination of size, strength, and willingness to embrace the dirty work gives him plenty of intrigue as a young frontcourt prospect. With his 6-foot-8 frame alone, Shepard is a player who could garner attention from D1 and D2 programs as he continues to develop.     Gonzalez is a crafty guard who showed off his ability to get to the cup and finish with a variety of moves, particularly attacking from the left side of the basket. His right hand has taken a significant leap this summer as well, and that development was on full display throughout the event. Gonzalez does a nice job getting into the post and operating as a smaller guard, using pump fakes, patience, and changes of direction to throw off defenders looking to challenge his attempts around the rim. Despite his size, he plays with good length that allows him to slip by defenders and create contact on his way to the basket. His ability to consistently generate offense makes him an intriguing lead guard prospect, and Etowah should have plenty of success with him leading the way this winter.     Wilson had a nice showing throughout Saturday and was one of the guards who continued to catch my eye as the day went on. His ability to create his own shot was the first thing that stood out, as he used step-backs, hesitations, and changes of speed to create separation in isolation situations. His developing ability to shoot the three-ball opens up the rest of his offensive game and makes him a difficult cover when defenders close out aggressively. Wilson showed good creativity with the ball in his hands and the potential to become a more complete offensive initiator as his game continues to mature. With continued development, he could emerge as a guy capable of running the show for Mount Pisgah as the program enters a new era under a new head coach.     I first got the chance to watch Dancy this summer when he matched up against my Centennial squad, and he immediately caught my eye. I was glad to get another opportunity to sit down and watch him compete, and he once again showed plenty of upside as a lengthy scoring guard. Dancy can create offense off the bounce, getting into the mid-range for pull-up jumpers or attacking the rim and finishing through contact. He has a true scorer's mentality and can be extremely difficult to slow down once he gets into a rhythm. His continued improvement as a three-point shooter has made him an even tougher matchup, especially when paired with his quick first step and ability to get downhill. Dancy is a prospect who continues to trend upward and should be a name college coaches keep on their radar heading into his senior season.     Temple is a lightning-fast guard who caught my eye early with his ability to create his own shot despite his smaller stature. He has a tight handle and a knack for making difficult shots, using step-backs, pump fakes, and step-throughs to consistently create space for mid-range jumpers. He is also capable of getting downhill and finding ways to score through traffic once he gets an advantage. On the defensive end, Temple brings a high motor and applies tremendous pressure to opposing guards, consistently forcing turnovers and creating steals. I watched him come away with roughly three or four steals per game throughout the day, showing just how disruptive he can be on that end. Temple is a point guard prospect who is flying under the radar and has the skill set to become a valuable piece for a small-college program.     Schulze is a long, athletic forward who runs the floor extremely hard and consistently creates easy transition opportunities for his team. Lead guards who like to push the pace can really unlock his ability to score around the rim, as few players at the big position ran the floor as hard as he did throughout the afternoon. His motor is one of his biggest strengths, and that activity showed up on the offensive glass as he consistently ripped down rebounds and converted them into second-chance points. Defensively, Schulze was equally active, using his length and athleticism to block shots and protect the rim at a high level. His foot speed also allows him to stay in front of smaller guards, giving him the versatility to defend multiple positions. With his combination of length, athleticism, motor, and two-way impact, Schulze is an intriguing 2027 forward who should continue to draw attention as he heads into his senior season.
