Expert Analysis

Victor Scott

Prep Hoops Lead Scout

Bryant might be the hottest 2028 prospect in the state right now. His shooting range stretches out to true NBA distance, and he knocks down tough looks with confidence. Add in good guard qualities, the poise, feel, and the ability to play on or off the ball, and he’s quickly becoming a mismatch problem. He’s strong enough to finish through contact, skilled enough to create space, and already a decent defender who competes. His trajectory is pointing straight up.

Bryant shines, effortlessly handling the pressure. With a defender on him, he is always drawing in the defense only to break through with his ability to attack the basket, using his body to absorb contact. His free throw routine is clockwork, consistent and reliable.

Going from the oldest on the list to now the youngest on this list, Elijah Bryant Elijah Bryant 6'2" | CG North Little Rock | 2028 State AR is an up and coming star in Arkansas. The 8th grader played up to High School this past season, and is playing up in 15U this summer. Bryant has the mindset of a senior with the ball. One defender isn’t enough to keep him in front. When he attacks the basket he is great at using his body to spin back to the middle and go through the contact. In the championship game of 15U his jumpshot wasn’t falling, but this did not stop Bryant. He went 13/14 on free throws and knocked down big shots in Overtime to give his team the win. Look for Elijah to get varsity minutes next year as a 9th grader.
