The two-day event was hosted at McBride high school with more than 150 prospects from the classes of 2024-2026 in attendance. In this series we’re taking a closer look at the top performers in the “Cream of the Crop” Top 30 game.
Connor Amundsen, 2024, Clovis North (CA) – Amundsen’s approach to the game was that of a true point guard. The 5-foot-11 sophomore showed that he could make high IQ decisions with the ball in transition and half-court settings, while also possessing plenty of scoring punch to go along with his great court vision and passing. Amundsen hit catch and shoot three’s with consistency and was able to beat his defenders off the dribble to get into the paint where he finished with both hands.
Seven Bahati, 2024, Los Altos (CA) – Bahati was one of the most explosive athletes in the gym throughout this event and that helped him impact both ends of the floor. Offensively, Bahati was difficult for defenders to keep in front as his first step and ball skills helped him slash his way to the painted area for high percentage finishes. He was also keeping the defense honest by knocking down open three-point shots. Defensively, Bahati has the length, lateral speed and instincts to be a very good on-ball and team defender
Tyler “Tybo” Bailey, 2024, Oak Hill Academy (VA) – Bailey was one of the more polished offensive prospects at this event. The 6-foot-3 sophomore combo guard showed advanced scoring feel from all levels of the floor throughout the weekend. His combination of size, strength, athleticism to go along with his ball skills and ability to create space off the dribble allowed him to score in a variety of ways. Bailey has a fluid pull-up jump shot and absorbs and finishes through contact around the basket.
Lonnie Bass, Jr., 2025, Rancho (NV) – Bass wasn’t a guy who initiated offense or ran the break with the ball in his hands, but his high motor and activity on both ends of the floor were felt throughout the event. Bass’ strong 6-foot-6 frame combined with his willingness to crash the glass and play physical basketball inside helped him be a high-rate offensive rebounder who created second chance scoring opportunities for his team. Bass also performed well in ball-screen action as he rolled hard to the painted area and used his hands and strength to finish through contact.
Kade Bonam, 2025, St. John Bosco (CA) – Bonam is the picture of versatility and it’s an impressive on at this stage of his development. The 6-foot-7 forward has the ball skills and passing IQ to initiate offense as a point-forward type of prospect, but he can also play-make for others out of the post or on the wing. Bonam can stroke the three-point shot with consistency, create dribble-drive scoring opportunities for himself or others in half-court and transition settings, and has some low-bloc, back-to-the basket game in his arsenal.
