MVP: Henry Coleman, 2020, Team Loaded VA
Henry Coleman was hands-down the best prospect from the state of Virginia. He played with a high motor on both ends and was relentless in the paint. He took home MVP honors for the 17U Gold Division as well.
First Team:
C Henry Coleman, 2020, Team Loaded VA
Henry Coleman is as versatile as they come and in this case, he earned the big man spot on first-team All-Virginia. He showed off an array of skills from his shot blocking to his ability to knock down the 3-pointer throughout the weekend. It’s no wonder he’s a high-major prospect as he doesn’t try to overdo it for his team and plays his role well.
F Dominique Finney, 2019, Team Loaded 804
Unsigned senior Dominique Finney was an active force for his Team Loaded 804 squad all weekend long. With his length and size at 6-foot-6, Finney has the ability to play in the post and on the wing. He’s got athleticism to get to the rim and survive in the paint as well.
F Landon Hawes, 2020, Team Loaded 434 Hawes
2020 Landon Hawes is another versatile wing prospect, though he’s 6-foot-4. He plays a lot bigger than his size given his wingspan and abilities. He can stretch the floor with his 3-point shot or take his man off the dribble. Opened the weekend with 25 points against Team PUSH. Defensively, he’s got the awareness to be a solid, physical defender. College coaches at the low-major level would be lucky to have him.
G A.J. Williams, 2021, Team Loaded VA
A.J. Williams is one of the best 3-point shooters in the state and he certainly showed that at Big Shots Team Loaded in Richmond. Williams made seven 3-pointers in Team Loaded’s first game of the weekend against Spectrum Sports. He finished the weekend with 13 made 3-pointers, just six shy of the leader. He’s another high-major prospect to keep on the radar.
G Kaden Metheny, 2020, Big Shots Elite WV
2020 Kaden Metheny was the ultimate competitor of the weekend, going at whoever was put in front of him. Metheny is an explosive 6-foot-1 guard prospect that college coaches should keep an eye on. He’s shifty off the dribble and can stop-and-pop the midrange jumper in a heartbeat.
Second Team:
C Houston Emory, 2021, Team Loaded VA
Houston Emory was a terror on the inside for Team Loaded VA 16U squad this weekend. He’s a 6-foot-8 big man that runs the floor, rebounds and protects the paint well. As he starts to assert himself on offense, his stock should continue to grow. He’s certainly a big man colleges will want to keep on their radar.
F Tyler Nickel, 2022, Team Loaded VA
Tyler Nickel is another big man college coaches will want to keep on their radar. He took home the MVP award in the championship game with a 21-point effort and is a versatile prospect that isn’t afraid to lead the break. He had a highlight reel one-handed dunk in pool play that brought everyone to their feet. Nickel has high-major potential.
F Misha Zurabashvilli, 2020, Hill City Crash
Misha Zurabashvilli was an automatic bucket all weekend long for the Hill City Crash in the 17U division. He led the division with 115 total points and averaged 23.0 points per contest throughout the weekend, showing off his ability to score in a variety of ways. He made 19 total 3-pointers as well, showing off his versatility as a scorer off the dribble and from behind the arc. College coaches will want to get him on their radar if he’s not already.
G Jason Nelson, 2021, Team Loaded VA
Jason Nelson is one of the best point guards in the 2021 class and he showed that this weekend at Big Shots Team Loaded in Richmond. He averaged 13.0 points per game and a solid number of assists as his team’s floor general. He’s a high-level prospect with length and untapped potential.
G Brayon Freeman, 2021, Team Loaded VA
Brayon Freeman is a high-level combo guard that can get to the rim whenever he wants. His stock will continue to grow as he develops his outside shot but he’s as confident as they come already going to the rim. Freeman showcased a gritty toughness that should carry him far at the next level. He’s definitely a high-major talent.
