Dylan Purnell, 2023, Tennessee Prep Academy – Purnell is a true playmaking wing whose combination of size, length, athleticism and ball skills helps him score in a variety of ways. The 6-foot-6 wing had his best moments as a slasher and finisher in transition where he scored craftily around shot blockers or above the rim with power. Purnell also showed defensive versatility, guarding multiple positions on the event.
Jalen Milt Jalen Milt 6'4" | SG Norview | 2023 State VA , 2023, Norview (VA) – Milt was one of the more explosive athletes in the gym and used his strength and explosiveness to get to the rim at-will and finish around the basket. The 6-foot-4 wing plays with an alpha-like mentality and supreme confidence when attacking defenders off the dribble in both transition and half-court settings. Milt also showed a consistent pull-up three point shot off the dribble.
Theirry Henry Eme Ngo, Renaissance Academy – Ngo made his mark as a fast-break playmaker and scorer. The 6-foot-7 forward is the ultimate “high motor” prospect who gives energy and effort on both ends of the floor. Ngo had numerous power finishes above the rim in transition and half-court situations and showed a lot of heart and physicality when rebounding the offensive and defensive boards.
Will Smith III, 2023, Bishop Montgomery – Smith is a physical wing prospect who is best when attacking the rim in transition or half-court settings and using his strength to absorb and finish through contact. The 6-foot-4 junior has the ability to stretch the floor to the three-point line with a consistent catch and shoot jumper and has great defensive tools and instincts when guarding on the ball or in a team setting.
Zyier Beverly, 2023, Washington – Beverly proved to be one of the more intriguing long-term prospects at the event. The 6-foot-8 sophomore has that next-level combination of size, length, athleticism and fluidity on the perimeter to go along with his explosive leaping ability and transition finishing acumen. Beverly has ideal positional size for the three or four spot and can score from multiple levels of the floor.
