Stock Watch: Making a Case for No. 1

Littles is the headliner here. Previously ranked No. 6 in our evaluation, he has given us a reason to revisit his position after a strong run through Jr. 3SSB competition. He averaged 15.0 points per game at the Regionals before helping Hoosier Phenoms finish undefeated and capture the 13U Gold championship at Boys Nationals, where he earned MVP honors.

His Game: Littles is a skilled wing who can score from all three levels. He plays with good pace, uses his footwork to get to his spots, and has the ability to attack downhill and finish through contact. He also makes sound decisions with the ball and can use his length to impact the game defensively.

Why His Stock Is Rising: The combination of scoring versatility, feel for the game, and championship impact gives Littles a strong case to climb. Moving from No. 6 toward No. 1 comes down to how his overall game compares with the players ahead of him. His summer performance gives us a legitimate reason to have that conversation.

A versatile wing who can impact from nearly every area of the game. He plays with toughness, aggression, and a competitive edge while showing the ability to score, defend, rebound, and make plays for others. He has the tools and mentality to become a special player.
