FAVOUR AIRE | 6’10 C | BISHOP MCNAMARA ’22
Aire showed why he’s the top prospect in our ’22 rankings on both ends of the floor throughout the day. When he’s engaged defensively, he blocks everything at the rim and is nearly impossible to score against.
JON IZEMEF | 6’8 C | NATIONAL CHRISTIAN ’21
Izemef pridefully repelled shots at the rim on Saturday. His length makes things difficult for opponents and his timing is impeccable.
REIS JONES | 6’7 C | OXON HILL ’21
Jones is a nice post prospect who plays with max effort at all times and has intriguing upside. One of the things he did well was block shots. Jones is disruptive at the rim as a result of his length and constant activity level.
DUT KUOL | 6’10 C | NATIONAL CHRISTIAN ’22
Kuol is a long-limbed post prospect with natural shot-blocking instincts. He’s very adept at tracking the ball and pinning it against the glass.
XZAVIER LONG | 6’6 SF | MIDDLEBURG ACADEMY ’21
Long is a versatile forward with long arms and unlimited defensive potential. One of his best attributes is his ability to block a shot and ignite a fast break.
KEVIN SIAKAM | 6’9 C | VERITAS COLLEGIATE ’20
Siakam is an athletic big man who frequently and forcefully protected the rim. His impressive blend of size, energy and athleticism was unmatched.
