Once regarded as the top player in the country, I still have a lot of stock in Lusakueno long term as a stretch forward who has the height, length and shooting ability to stretch the floor. Luskueno had a big sophomore season for Woodward Academy with multiple 25+ scoring outbursts against top competition in the state. I’ve also been impressed with Lusakueno at Team USA minicamps, where he’s able to play a complimentary role and focus on providing value outside of scoring and shooting. For Lusakueno, filling out his body and becoming an impact defender are areas where he can grow and improve his impact both right now and long term. I still believe Lusakueno has a ton of upside with his movement skills and perimeter shooting for his size and think he’s an excellent long term prospect.

One of the top forwards in the country, Lusakueno is coming off the most productive season of his young career. He is a unique prospect with an impressive blend of size, length, athleticism, and skill, operating primarily facing the basket at this stage. Lusakueno plays with a high basketball IQ and has the ability to stretch the floor as a perimeter shot maker, while also using his physical tools to create matchup problems. With continued development, he has the potential to emerge as one of the top overall prospects in the 2028 class.

Lusakueno, one of the nation’s top prospects in the 2028 class, has played a major role in helping the War Eagles secure a No. 1 seed in the state tournament. The sophomore is in the midst of his most productive season to date, showcasing his ability to run the floor, finish efficiently around the rim, and use his length to anchor the defense.

He impacts the game on both ends, protecting the paint, rebounding his area, and scoring with touch and timing inside. Lusakueno plays with an advanced feel for the game and a high basketball IQ that stands out for his age. As his body continues to mature and add strength, his overall impact and long-term ceiling remain extremely high.

It was Lusakeno’s War Eagles who came away with the win Monday night, and the 6-foot-9 forward turned in one of his most productive performances of the season, finishing with 19 points and four blocks. The sophomore glides up and down the floor, using his length to score efficiently around the rim while also anchoring the defense. He plays with an advanced feel for the game and a high basketball IQ, and as his body continues to develop physically, his overall impact and ceiling should continue to rise.

One of the nation’s most uniquely talented forwards, Lusakueno has a combination of high level size, skill, athleticism and length. The combo forward plays mostly facing the rim at this point but as he adds strength, will become more productive in the paint. The sophomore has a high basketball IQ, can stretch the floor with shot making and has plenty of upside.

Our #1 ranked national prospect in the 2028 class showed off his impressive offensive upside on Sunday with a big day shooting the basketball on the perimeter and using his long strides in transition and on drives to score in the paint. Showing tremendous shot-making upside for his size, Lusakueno’s ceiling will be reached if he can also become a plus defender. Considering his foot speed and length, Lusakueno has the potential to be an impactful defensive prospect as well. Expect some of the top teams in the country to be involved in his recruitment.

A top-ranked player nationally, Lusakueno left Pace Academy for Woodward Academy in August. Bentley won a FIBA Gold Medal with the USA 16U team. He has an elite ceiling. He will make a huge impact at Woodward Academy but isn’t yet a dominant player. His defense will be his most influential calling card but Bentley also has a well-rounded smooth combo-forward game. Lusakueno averaged 7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game as a freshman.

Lusakueno just announced a transfer from Pace Academy to Woodward Academy, citing the closer location to home as the main reason why. A naturally talented prospect, Lusakueno moves at a different speed and rhythm than other players his age and size. Expect blue blood college programs to stay active recruiting Lusakueno who won a Fiba Gold Medal this summer with Team USA’s 16 U group.

A member the USA U16 National Team, Lusakueno possesses immense long-term upside. A skilled and multi-dimensional forward, he can attack off the bounce, hit the pull-up jumper, and finish with his back to the basket using polished footwork. He passes effectively out of the post and defends at a high level, particularly as a shot blocker. Averaged 7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.3 blocks as a freshman. He showed flashes of dominance. His blend of size, skill, and feel give him rare potential, a possible unicorn in the making. Regarded as one of, if not the best 2028 in the nation.

The sky is the limit for Bentley. He’s got a terrific skill set, able to attack in the paint and on the perimeter. He netted a pull-up jumper and scored on a putback, finishing with 4 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. He maneuvers well with his back to the basket. Lusakueno is a good passer out of the post, hitting cutters and swinging the ball to shooters.
