Christopher Nwuli 6’5 SF Loyalty VP 2025 – Nwuli is a multi-skilled, talented forward with all the makings of a big-time prospect. Already known for throwing down in-game dunks, Nwuli can impact games with his passing, transition finishing, and defensive.
Brian Townsend 6’2 SF Loyalty VP 2025 – Besides having one of my favorite nicknames, “Chef” Townsend is one of the top high motor players in his class. A hard downhill driver, Townsend plays with relentless effort and excels at scoring from around the rim.
Anthony Nwuli Anthony Nwuli 6'5" | PF Durango | 2024 UT 6’5 PF Loyalty VP 2024 (#11PHN 2021) – Excited to watch the physical power forward compete. Nwuli has good size and strength and is one of the better rebounds in the class. He uses his frame to carve out space down low and can finish around the basket with his strong hand.
Marcus Fizer Jr Marcus Fizer Jr 6'6" | SG Phhoenix Prep | 2024 State AZ 6’4 SG Las Vegas Punishers 2023 (#4PHN 2023) – Fizer comes to the event fresh off a top 30 game selection at the Pangos fresh/soph camp in Utah. The wing is good in isolation and displays an advanced skill set when finishing in transition.
Osiris Grady Osiris Grady 6'7" | PF Coronado | 2023 #195 Nation UT 6’7 PF Las Vegas Punishers 2023 (#2PHN 2023) (featured image) – Grady is one of the fastest rising players in the class of 2023. Like Fizer, he was selected to the top 30 game at the recent Pangos fresh/soph camp. The 6’7 forward rebounds and protects the rim like a big, but also has shown increased ball skills lately, putting the ball on the ground to create for himself.
Evan Tatum Evan Tatum 6'5" | PF Desert Pines | 2023 State NV 6’4 PF Las Vegas Punishers 2023 (#16PHN 2023) – Excited to see Tatum. The bruising forward is a good low post scorer that impacts games with his rebounding and finishing ability around the rim. Interested in seeing how his floor game has developed and if he has the skills to create for himself off the bounce.
