Bruton’s Class of 2029 Picks – Rock City Classic

Saadiq Barber Team Trezz 2029 Strong guard that can do anything his team needs. Scores it well as a faceup creator, can defend up to 4 positions and can make his teammates life easy as a facilitator. One to track over time as he continues to grow.

Jabias Bradshaw Carolina Rockets 2029 Pass-first point guard that creates a plethora of easy opportunties for his teammates. He’s always on the attack and has little trouble getting into the painted area. Once he gets to his spots, he’s equally good at dropping in floaters, dropping dimes or finishing soft off the glass. Top notch young point guard.

Emory Chaney CP3 2029 Outstanding point guard that is incredibly difficult to rattle. Exceptional creator in pick and roll for a player his age. At times, he dominated games purely from skill and IQ. A point guard to watch closely as his body continues to mature over time.

Kayden Durham Elite Dynasty 2029 Durham is just a 7th grader that played up several age groups, but was still a dominant presence at the combo guard spot. He has a strong frame, good feel for the game and a deadly ability to convert at or around the basket. Instant impact player down the road that averaged over 20 per game despite the age gap.

Bryson Faulk-Warner CP3 2029 Bryson is a do-it-all type of player that excels at many things. He’s got a good motor, quick hands and rebounds well for a wing. He’s at his best offensively as a faceup creator. Creates well for himself and for his teammates. Good size for a 7th grader.

Braeden Greenup CP3 2029 Greenup showed a good combination of skill, power and IQ. He knocked down pull-up jumpers to his left, finished through contact at the rim and was a monster at times on the glass. One of the better inside-outside threats in his class.

Pierre Hewlin Team Trezz 2029 Hewlin impacts games in a big way with his ability to draw fouls, create off the dribble from the perimeter and create havoc on the inside. He’s a strong bodied lefty that can knock down shots from virutally every spot within the arc.

Jaiden Howard Carolina Rockets 2029 Lefty is due for a breakout. Scored over 20+ in his first matchup mainly by attacking the rim off the dribble. Has a very quick first step and is very good at converting counter attacks. Good size at an early age for a guard/wing. Expect to hear alot from Howard in the next few months.

Quantay James Team Trezz 2029 James should currently be in consideration as one of the top players in his class. At an early stage, he’s got excellent size, good feel for the game, versatility and a bigtime motor. He’s a natural scorer that can knock down jumpers, slashes to the basket and he’s athletic enough to play inside when necessary. His defense is one of his best attributes and he doesn’t back down. Remember the name.

Lloyd Jones 7th Nation 2029 Lloyd is an excellent athlete that is constantly in attack mode. He’s got really good size for a shooting guard and even moves out to the wing position defensively. It’s easy to appreciate his willingness to absorb contact while still finishing. Was one of the top scorers all weekend and his finishing ability was a huge reason why.

KJ McLawhorn Warriors Life Elite 2029 McLawhorn is an outstanding pass-first guard that kept defenses in retreat with his court vision. He can knock down the open jumper and he can create his own shot, but was at his best when setting up others.

Jayden Prather Atlanta Swish 2029 Prather was one of the strongest players in the middle school ranks over the course of the weekend. He scores the ball in bunches by using his frame to overpower defenders and by using his quickness to get around bigger players. Excellent athlete that knows how to put the ball in the basket.

Brycen Summers Warriors Life Elite 2029 Summers has a quiet game but a loud production. His facial expressions rarely changed, but his attacking style of play is consistent. Does an excellent job of getting out into transition and he’s got some sneaky shiftiness to his game that creates space for shots.
