We didn’t get to see too much of Hope in action but it doesn’t take long to see how Hope’s blend of evolving physical tools and a naturally aggressive motor projects as an appealing one for college coaches while he continues refining his game in the years to come. With a growing frame and smooth athleticism in space, Hope shows some ability executing out on the wing in space but can also be effective as a rim-runner in transition or utilizing his length to finish around the basket in the halfcourt. His length, mobility, and effort also make him a steady factor on the defensive end. We hope to see more of Hope moving forward as he shows signs of developing into a scholarship-level prospect.

The rising junior from Huguenot High School is a wing prospect who is trending up in the 2028 class. Hope has high level size, length and athleticism that allow him to be very effective attacking the rim and in open space. We saw him have multiple 15+ point games with VA Havoc this spring. He does a great job attacking the rim, can finish with either hand around the rim and does a good job getting to the free throw line. Hope has all the physical tools to be a high level defender, which would improve his recruiting profile even more.
