The Expo Final Thoughts: Standouts Per Position

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we close the books on the 2026 Illinois Expo Showcase, this is my last article on the event which will provide the top positional standouts throughout the day. Please note due to the amount of prospects at the event, I was not able to evaluate every single player. Collectively PHI as a team covers every player but from an individual basis, these are the top players out of the ones I saw per position. The prospects listed below are in no particular order or ranking. Please click on each prospect for further evaluations and breakdowns of their games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>POINT GUARDS</strong><br>[player_tooltip player_id='2531979' first='CJ' last='Pittman'] - 2028<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2532344' first='London' last='Rome'] – 2027<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2467517' first='Darrius' last='Hawkins'] – 2028<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2438565' first='Luke' last='Lettvin'] – 2028<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2894590' first='Alijah' last='Johnson'] – 2028<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2531995' first='Eze' last='Nwagwu'] – 2028<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2532321' first='Elijah' last='Bell'] - 2027<br><br><strong>SHOOTING GUARDS/COMBO GUARDS</strong><br>[player_tooltip player_id='2125660' first='Lamari' last='Carpenter'] – 2027 (CG)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2389398' first='Orlando' last='Edwards'] – 2027 (SG)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2829613' first='Danny' last='Ruffin'] – 2027 (CG)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2194657' first='Josiah' last='Hall'] – 2028 (SG)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2125695' first='Henry' last='Davis III'] – 2027 (SG)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2532341' first='Keyae' last='Lacy'] – 2027 (CG)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2499153' first='Jaylen' last='West'] – 2027 (CG)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2532316' first='Chaden' last='Harvey'] – 2027 (SG)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2532005' first='Kai' last='Harvey'] – 2028 (SG)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='3597842' first='Maclin' last='Scholl'] – 2028 (SG)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2104717' first='Gyles' last='Agyeman'] – 2027 (SG)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2125671' first='Nojus' last='Venckus'] – 2027 (SG)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SMALL FORWARDS</strong><br>[player_tooltip player_id='2455373' first='Oturo' last='Redento'] – 2027<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2906299' first='Jackson' last='Wood'] – 2028<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2390391' first='Khevel' last='Diambuana'] – 2027<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2948455' first='Laterryon' last='Lee'] – 2027<br>[player_tooltip player_id='3427173' first='Jordan' last='Wordlaw'] – 2027<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2814849' first='Jysan' last='Grant'] – 2028<br>[player_tooltip player_id='3687184' first='Braden' last='Klemencic'] – 2028<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2895441' first='Malik' last='Arogundade'] - 2027<br><br><strong>POWER FORWARDS</strong><br>[player_tooltip player_id='2929886' first='Thatcher' last='Lee'] – 2028<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2540205' first='John' last='Brown IV'] – 2028<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2532029' first='Riggins' last='Travieso'] – 2028<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2907626' first='Ryland' last='Anyimadu'] - 2027<br><br><strong>CENTERS</strong><br>[player_tooltip player_id='3686052' first='Peter' last='Chojniak'] – 2028<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2822666' first='Derrick' last='Moore'] - 2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
