Bruton’s Standouts – High School
Dontavious Stringfield | Atlanta Strikers (GA) 2026 | 6’4” G Very powerfully built guard. He uses his height, strength and length to overwhelm ball-handlers as a main defender. He’s an excellent rebounder from the guard position that can also create for himself and others. Could become a scholarship level player in due time. Rico Williams…

Braydon Langston | 6’3” SG Norcross Heat 2027 Langston is one of the best all-around defenders that I saw over the weekend. He’s got unreal length for a young guard prospect. Not many guards can accumulate the amount of blocked shots that he swats. Also, on the offensive end, he’s a slasher that converts well…

Brielen Craft | 5’7” PG Alabama Fusion 2028 (Featured Photo) Craft gets better and better with each viewing. He’s artful with the ball in his hands and doesn’t over-dribble. His approach to the game is reminiscent of an older high school point guard. You have to love his pace and his elite ability to see…

Trace Adcock | 5’7” PG Georgia Generals 2029 (Featured Photo) This young point guard is an uber-confident scoring machine. He’s one of the first players I’ve seen that isn’t afraid to pull a shot from near the half-court line. Teams realized early on that he’s an absolute marksman from deep range. However, he’s also a…

BOYS Galen Roberts | David T. Howard | Fulton | 2027 Roberts was impressive. His size, length and fluidity as an 8th grader make him a tough assignment on both ends of the floor. He showed that he can do everything on the floor as a multi-positional threat. Daniel Harper | David T. Howard |…

Kamari Brown | 6’1” CG (GA) Grayson High School – 2026 (pictured above) Brown was very impressive as a primary ball-handler. He’s got a wide variety of crossovers, hesitations and spin moves. It appears that he’s already an above average shot maker from multiple spots on the floor. If his body continues to develop, it’s…

NGSHoops hosted the first “Elite 60 Freshman Showcase” this past weekend at Discovery High School in Lawrenceville, Georgia. I detailed a few prospects that I was able to see emerging from the pack. Maddox Melancon | 6’4” SG (GA) Eagles Landing High School – 2026 (pictured above) Maddox was arguably the most physically imposing guard…
