Maki Joyner, 6’1” G (2025) for Atlanta Celtics South (GA) was an impressive scorer for his Celtics squad. He has an extremely long wingspan for a player his size and is able to use his length to finish some acrobatic shots over much taller players. In addition to his finishing ability around the basket, he…
Micah Gunter, 5’7” G (2028) for CP3 (NC) was the most consistent performer in the 5th grade division at the Rumble in the Peach State. No matter who he faced, he made his mark known and was a dominant force at both guard spots. Gunter possesses an advanced skill set with the ball and is…
Joshua Huggins, 6’1” F (2028) for NYBA Elite (TN) was an imposing inside threat for his squad. Around the basket, he was able to finish consistently with either hand and dominated on the glass. His footwork was surprisingly good for a player his age and size. Double teams didn’t faze him much and he showed…
Rhys Cotton, 5’9” PG (2025) for AOT (GA) was one of the most impressive two-way players at his position. It’s rare to find guards that strike fear in the eyes of ball-handlers. Cotton picks up ball-handlers the full length of the floor and never lets up with his ball-pressure and it allows him to come…
Jaden Stewart, 6’5” F (2025) for Manimal Elite (KY) was a man amongst boys at Rumble in the Peach State. He was too strong for the majority of his opponents or he was too good of a shooter to allow on the perimeter. In the paint, he throws his weight around well and uses his…
Jeb Blanton, 6’1” G (2025) for Open Court (AL) was easily the best shooter in attendance. In multiple games, he buried at least 7 three-pointers. Whenever he’s on the floor, he must be found immediately. He’s a lefty that has an ultra quick release with a ton of arc on his shot. Not only is…
Deonte Jiles, 6’0” G (2028) for GPSA (AL) was one of the most impressive prospects I was able to watch in his division. His size, athleticism and creativity with the ball kept his team in every game and all of the fans in attendance on their feet. Jiles possesses a will to win that you…
Caleb Holt, 6’3” PG (2026) for Open Court (AL) is outstanding. At an early age, his combination of size, ball-handling skills and court vision make him virtually impossible to stop at this stage in his development. In the games I was able to watch, he knocked down jump shots, controlled the pace and was able…
Devin Hutcherson, 6’2” G (2026) for AOT has all the makings of a future star. Loved his ability to get whatever he wanted offensively using minimal dribbles. When it comes to scoring the ball, he dominated inside, outside and from the middle of the key. He doesn’t waste any time coming out of the triple…
CJ Harper, 5’10” PG (2026) for AIM High (GA) has the confident look of a point guard that knows he’s going to win whenever he steps on the court. He’s a southpaw that maneuvers in and out of defenses at his own pace and rarely changes his demeanor on the floor. In a tight semi-final…
