Prince Malonge 6’7 2022 PF (PB Nation) The Amarillo, TX junior is an explosive and muscular forward who can do it all. Prince was a major shot blocker and a long armed rim protector. I watched him play good aggressive defense that turned into turnovers and steals. He has a nice mid range jump shot and can attack the rim with ferocity.
Dalen Moyer Dalen Moyer 6'0" | CG Sandia | 2023 State NM 5’11 2023 SG (D1 New Mexico) Dalen is a hard nosed defender who can absolutely shoot lights out. He has in your face defense with very quick hands that lead to a ton of steals and turnovers. He plays both sides of the court very well. He is also extremely shifty and can get to the rim with ease. Dalen has a clear shot at playing college basketball.
Gideon Harris Gideon Harris 6'2" | SF ABC Prep | 2023 State NM 6’1 2023 CG (D1 New Mexico) Gideon is a hard working game changer that has a ton of fight in him. He attacks the ball on defense on both sides and becomes a major problem for anyone who has the ball. He has a nice mid range jump shot and shoots the 3 ball well. Gideon is your ultimate glue guy who can score.
Jalin Holland (pictured) 2025 6’1 CG (JB White Elite) Remember the name Jalin Holland. This kid had the largest upside out of anyone at the event. JB White’s guest player was ridiculous. It’s impressive that Jalin is an 8th grader playing in the high school division but what’s even more impressive is that Holland was a scoring machine against older kids. He has a nice mid range jump shot and can shoot the long ball well. He was a menace on defense blocking shots and protecting the rim from much larger players. The talk of the event was Holland’s euro step behind the back left hand finish. It was nasty! Jalin comes from a very talented family and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for him.
