Maddox returns as a hybrid forward threatening from the arc and in the paint. He’s more comfortable from deep range, and he’s sharpened his roll-and-pop decisions. His summer focus on strength has boosted his rebounding tenacity and helped him finish through traffic. Ball’s ability to impact both ends should help him rise in the class of 2027.

Read EvaluationCharles Yates | Prep Hoops Scout
Maddox was an interior threat for the Jaguars on Saturday in the games they won. Ball possesses a lethal midrange fadeaway and uses a variety of other moves under the rim to score the ball. Maddox has good fundamental post defense, knowing not to bite on pump fakes and he sent several shots back at the basket playing the role of an interior lockdown man. Ball runs the floor extremely well for his size and was an adept finisher on fastbreaks.

Ball showcased his utility style, competing well, filling multiple roles, and hustling his way into points and rebounds. He has shot the ball well from inside and out, he’s comfortable scoring on the catch, but has the skill to earn his own on drives to the rim. His shot from deep has been a consistent threat, and he shoots it with confidence. He rebounds and shares the ball well and shows some strength defending post moves, rounding out his glue guy role.
