The 16U division was filled with talent in Charlotte. We’ve got next-level big men, knock down shooters, and under the radar athletes on this list. Below is 1st team 16U all Carolina Cup and its honorable mentions.
16U
Stephen Quinn
Stephen
Quinn
6'1" | SG
Combine Academy | 2024
NC
| Team Charlotte
Quinn is quite the guard prospect as he showed off his defensive ability to kick off the 8 AM games on Day 1 with three-straight steals that led to easy buckets for his squad. He’s an intriguing name to know with an ability to knock down shots on the perimeter and create off the bounce in the backcourt.
Jacob Henson
Jacob
Henson
5'8" | PG
Westside | 2024
FL
| North Florida Hurricanes
Henson was one of the best point guards, regardless of class. Between his dynamic shooting, quickness, and downhill playmaking, he made positive plays all weekend. Henson’s deep three point shooting makes him a great off ball option for teammates to kick to. With a head of steam, he’s hard to stop on drives. When you factor in a solid pull up game and the ability to finish around taller players, it completes his package of skills that made him a lock for this list.

Jordan Jones
Jordan
Jones
6'4" | SF
Kinston | 2024
NC
| East Carolina Elite
Kinston has a well-kept secret in Jones. The 6’4 combo guard has the size, length, feel for the game, and athleticism to turn heads. He’s an athletic guard that scores above the rim, in transition, and uses that same athleticism to score in the halfcourt. He mixed in a heavy dose of efficient three point shooting and paint scoring. When defenses key in on him, he can make the right pass to get teammates involved.
Jaden Brock | Tribe ATL
As a big, strong, and athletic, we could see forward Brock finishing plays from two courts away. The defensive end turned four man ran the floor, tore down the rim, and finished through contact. He’s a great vertical athlete with a thick 6’5 frame. Brock was a walking double-double throughout the weekend.
Erich Harding
Erich
Harding
6'9" | PF
Combine Academy | 2024
NC
| Team Charlotte
6’9 and oozing with shotmaking potential, Harding was the best big man prospect in the gym. He scored on all three levels, showing off a high release point and the ability to make shots over guys of similar size. The 2024 prospect isn’t your typical stretch four he’s willing to bang on the block, will put you on a poster, runs the floor, and effect shots around the rim. While he’s able to produce right now, his high upside will peak mid to high major colleges’ attention.
