The 2030 group brought a little bit of everything to Elite60. There was real size inside, wings with length and athleticism, and a guard group that consistently put pressure on defenses in different ways. What stood out was how many styles translated against strong competition, from shooting and creation to defense, physicality, and guys who simply made winning plays. The class continues to take shape nationally, and several players strengthened their case while others made sure more people left Atlanta knowing their names.
Nicholas Cannon | 6’8” | NC
Cannon does not need a running start to play above the rim. He can load up off the vertical and hammer it home, giving him a different level of finishing power around the basket. His strength holds up inside, but his ability to open his stride and fly in transition really separates him at 6’8”. Cannon knows his size is an advantage and consistently puts it to work instead of simply being the biggest player on the floor.
Jonathan Marshall | 6’7” | NC
Marshall turned the Top 20 Game into his personal block party, swatting 5 shots and earning Defensive Player of the Showcase honors. His defensive reach goes well beyond protecting the rim because he can cover ground from sideline to sideline. Plays that initially look like clean scoring opportunities can disappear quickly once Marshall enters the picture. He showed that a defender can control stretches of a game without needing touches offensively.
Roman Sloan | 6’6” | GA
Sloan is built to handle the physical side of the paint and welcomes contact when it comes. The big frame grabs your attention, but there is more finesse to his interior game than you would expect from a bruiser. He stays disciplined, establishes position, and gets his work done without wasting movement. Sloan brings power to the matchup while still showing touch and control around the cup.
Brighton Webb | 6’5” | WI
Webb came to Elite60 with a shooting reputation and backed it up against elite competition. His pick and pop game forces opposing bigs into a decision they usually do not want to make, stay home or give a proven shooter daylight. Webb is not standing around waiting for touches either, as his movement without the ball consistently creates clean windows. Add his soft touch around the rim and there is much more here than a big who can simply stretch the floor.
Jacquez Harris | 6’5” | GA
You can put Harris into different lineups and trust that he will find a way to help. His motor stays running, he sprints end to end with purpose, and his ability to defend multiple positions gives coaches plenty of flexibility. Harris does not need offense called specifically for him to leave his mark on a game. He is a true plug and play piece whose energy can change the complexion of a lineup.
