brings size, feel and production to the wing. While not always a stat-chaser, his impact shows across the board—scoring, rebounding and creating matchup problems with his length. At 6-6, he can handle, shoot and stretch defenses, making him difficult to guard in both transition and the half court. As he continues to add strength and consistency, his upside continues to trend upward. Smooth lefty holds multiple D-I offers.

Up from No. 46
Kaylor is a highly skilled lefty with athletic pop and scoring versatility. He creates space on the perimeter with tight handles and can finish at the rim with authority. Kaylor is equally comfortable posting up and facing the basket, using jabs and quick footwork to beat defenders. His vision and passing ability allow him to punish double teams. After a standout showing at GBCA Live, he received his first offer from Chattanooga.

6-foot-7 lefty wing with a well-rounded game. Scores from all three levels, using his handle and footwork to get to his spots. Comfortable in the post or on the perimeter. Great passer with flair, even in traffic. Sneaky athletic finisher and sound defender. Adding muscle will only raise his already high ceiling.

A hidden gem, Kolton has a chance to be a big-time player. The 6-foot-7 lefty wing has skill inside and out. He can create his own shot on the perimeter and is a sneaky good passer off the bounce, able to drop off behind the back passes. When Kaylor goes into the post, he covers ground as he dives across the lane to finish with his left hand. Kolton is a bouncy finisher and a steady defender. He will need to add some more muscle but all the tools are in place. Kaylor drained a pair of threes, one out of a pick-and-pop. He scored in the post and hit a pull-up and a floater from the baseline as he finished with 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.
