Mo Kamara Mo Kamara 6'7" | PF University | 2025 State FL | Florida Suns
The 6’7 2025 prospect held his own against one of the best power forwards on the circuit. He used his length and on ball quickness to become a matchup nightmare in every game. He finished above the rim, flew around the defensive end, and attacked defenders with straight line drives.
Trey’Dez Green Trey’Dez Green 6'8" | PF Zachary | 2024 State #54 Nation LA | LA Broncos
Green struggled in the first game of the day, which means he had a modest 20 point double-double. He bounced back with a dominant 29 point 12 rebound performance that saw him crush the rim over and over. The 6’8 big man can stretch the floor as a shooter and vertical threat. His explosive athleticism makes him a tenacious weakside shot blocker.
Elijah Thomas Elijah Thomas 6'0" | CG Hoover | 2024 State AL | Auburn Raptors
Thomas had his fingerprints on every aspect of the game. His hustle led to putbacks and defensive plays that led to offense. The 2024 prospect hit a baseline pull up jumper and a pull up three out of the pick and roll. Thomas was one of the better two-way guards on opening day.
Jamarcus Brown | Team Amore
Brown showed a lot of upside as his athleticism, and flashes of offensive creation led to production. The 6’4 has a creative handle in space, throws down dunks in transition, and can hit the three. Between his build and skillset, Brown can grow into a next-level prospect.
Justin Squire | Jax Stangs
Squire uses his strong 6’3 frame to play hard every second he’s on the court. He’s a capable three-level scorer for an undersized forward. His strength and athleticism help him score around the rim, defend the paint, and score in transition.
Chris Levy Chris Levy 5'10" | PG Pace | 2024 FL | NEB Elite
Levy made athletic plays all day. He threw down an oop dunk, put pressure on the rim with his drives, and blocked shots in transition. His activity level on the offensive end led to a 29-point eruption that saw him take 14 trips to the free throw line.
Landon McGhee | Elite Playmakers
McGhee is a long 6’2 shotmaker. He has the size to finish around the rim, but his bread is buttered when there’s space for his shooting. The 2024 prospect scored in the midrange and off the catch beyond the arc.
Octavious Lawson Jr. | No Sleep Sports
Lawson Jr. was one of the better athletes in the 16U division. He rebounds well for a 6’3 wing, is a downhill playmaker, and makes plays above the rim on both ends. The aggressive athlete attacks the rim with ferocity.
Devin Smith | Excel Basketball
Smith dazzled with his jumper. Between pull up jumpers in the midrange and beyond the arc. His quickness helps him attack passing lanes, creating turnovers that turn into transition points.
Isaiah Wood | GSW Black
Wood is a lead guard worth tracking. He just knows how to play and has control of the game, which allows him to make plays for everyone on the court. His three-level scoring kept his team in the game while showing off his crafty skills.
Boston Smith | Charlotte Dragons
Smith made athletic plays in every single appearance on the floor. He hunted offensive rebounds and putbacks, creating easy scoring opportunities for themselves. The 6-foot guard threw down big dunks, blocked shots in transition, and made plays while driving downhill.
