Advanced young guard. Will contribute immediately at the varsity level. Compact and crafty floor general that doesn’t waste dribbles and has an efficient game. Can sit down defensively. Stays locked in and takes it up a notch in clutch situations. Will have to adjust against stronger players, but has the IQ and skill to succeed.

Wired to score the ball. Can get hot from the outside. Has solid size, counter moves, and a quick trigger off the bounce. Not afraid of the moment.

Could develop into a reliable combo guard prospect.

Case Presley | Dacula HS (GA) | 5’11” | PG | 2028
Shifty, crafty, and doesn’t look finished growing. Long arms, cat-like reflexes, and turns the corner well. Long-term potential is through the roof.

Braxten DuBose | Greenfield School (NC) | 6’5″ | F | 2028
Big-bodied forward that surprises defenses with his mobility. A lefty who can knock down jumpers and put it on the floor in spurts. At his best from triple threat position as a face-up scoring post player. Too strong for small forwards and too nimble for most true post players. Matchup nightmare that will only get better if he continues to work on his quickness and explosion.

Jamai McClure | Woodstock HS (GA) | 6’4″ | SG | 2028
Has a ton of long-term potential. Length, poise, and brimming with confidence. Defense is ahead of the curve, and his offense is becoming more fluid. Has the look of a guard prospect that can blow up at the national level over the years. Prototypical length and skill for a scholarship level shooting guard. Not much that he can’t do and he can produce at a high level without dominating the basketball.

Crafty, good size, and skilled with the ball. Could be a big-time scorer but is unselfish and creates well for others. Projects well long-term.

Exciting player to watch. Has a good aura around him and plays hard from start to finish of every game.

Incredibly active and springy forward. Does everything you want on both ends of the floor. Never stops moving. High-motor player that produced consistently.

Very fast lead guard that plays with a great change of pace. Very athletic, shifty, and capable of huge scoring outbursts. Will have an early impact on his varsity team.

Standout on both ends of the floor. Forced scorers into tough shots consistently. Teams quickly realized that he’s not a liability on the defensive end and he routinely kept players out of the paint. Offensively he moved the ball, cut, replaced, and made shots within the flow of the game. Valuable player that knows the game and can be plugged into many different types of offenses.

O’Brian Lowery Jr | South Point HS (NC) | 5’8″ | PG | 2028

Jeremiah Hunter | Seneca HS (SC) | 5’8″ | PG | 2028
Shifty and ultra-competitive point guard that lives in the paint. Crafty and patient enough to let plays develop. Never seems in a hurry despite playing at a fast pace.

Brielen Craft | Pace Academy (GA) | 6’0″ | PG | 2028
As skilled a point guard as you’ll find at the high school level. Excellent length even at 6’0″ but must remember that he’s still young. Possesses an incredibly smooth jumper and has deadly pull-up shot. Uses his court vision to drop dimes and makes pass fakes that opens up his shot. Has a nice feel for the game and makes players around him better. Scholarship level guard at an early stage in his career.

Marlin “Deuce” Johnson | Norcross HS (GA) | 5’11” | CG | 2028

Brelyn Moses | Rocky Mount HS (NC) | 6’5″ | SG | 2028
Electric game with surprising ball-handling skills. You could argue that at 6’5″, Moses may have been the fastest player in attendance.

Showed that he has the ability to knock down turnaround jumpers from the mid-post and can break a defender down off the dribble. Impressive prospect with a ton of versatility.

Excellent point guard with an advanced skillset. A majority of the players in attendance applauded his playing ability and argue that he was the most fun to play with and to play against. Plays with passion but stays under control. Quick with the ball, dishes it at a high level and shoots well from 3. Moves very differently than his peers and has a next level twitch to his game.

Xavier Davies | Northside HS (GA) | 5’7″ | CG | 2028
Small but ferocious player. Excellent change of pace and direction. Mid-range pull-up jumper is on the money. Doesn’t back down and consistently productive. Don’t be surprised to see him put up some ridiculous scoring outputs during his career. He’s got a never ending motor and has an incredible bag of counter moves. Defenses will struggle to contain him as he continues to grow and mature physically.

Dyson Britt | Gaston Day (NC) | 6’1″ | CG | 2028
Stands out as a player to know. Lets the game come to him but knows when to take over. Scores in bunches while playing unselfish basketball and won’t let off of the gas.

Great size, skill, IQ, and motor. Excellent touch on his jumper and a wiry handle on the ball. Good lateral movement on both sides of the floor. Strong recruit to watch. Was able to maneuver around most of the defenders that were in front of him and he got to his favorite spots for pull-up jumpshots. Will be a difficult matchup for years to come as his body matures.

Josh Lindsay | Saint Xavier (KY) | 5’11” | CG | 2028
Best athlete in attendance by far. Gets his head above the rim with ease. Skilled guard with blow-by dunks, weak-side blocks, and defensive versatility. In addition to his world class athleticism, he understands how to play the game of basketball. He doesn’t solely rely on his athleticism, but uses good footwork to lock up defensively and he’s crafty with the ball.

Armani Jones | Aiken HS (SC) | 6’3″ | SG/SF | 2028
Outstanding athlete strong enough to play SF but projects long term as a big SG. Great face-up player, rebounds well for his size, and decisive in the triple-threat. Has one of. thebest plays of the event while crashing the glass and dunking it over a player. Must have a player attached to him at all times, or he’ll find his way to the ball and score it.

Slick point guard that lives in the painted area. Can shake defenders without getting sped up and has a knack for finishing over the top of outstretched hands.

High-level point guard who makes all the right plays. Has a very sturdy frame and a quick release on his shot.

Has the skill set to contribute right away at the high school level.

Colt Witzigreuter | Holy Innocents (GA) | 6’8″ | C | 2028
Colt may have been the most physically imposing player as far as his size. He got better as the camp went on and stayed true to his game as a player that works solely around the basket. He ran the floor and finished around the basket in transition. With some work, could become a reliable post presence.

Kayden Ogbara | Grayson HS (GA) | 6’2″ | SF | 2028
Freakishly gifted athlete who plays much bigger than his size. Long arms and an incredibly impressive vertical leap. Rises above the rim for lobs and protects the rim even at just 6’2″ with his shot blocking. Defends well and can hit open jumpers off the catch.
