‘25 - Jayden Little / NC Aces 17u Natural scorer that piles up points within the flow of the game. He can knock down shots from long range, mid-range and around the basket. Has an impressive frame around 6’2” 170, gets low on his drives to the basket and has deep range on his jumper. High level scorer that is bound to put on a show in every matchup with huge scoring numbers. Averaged close to 30 per game as a junior this past season & led the 17u division in scoring at 21.8 points per game this past weekend. (@thejaydenlittle)
‘27 - Jordan Page / Garner Road 3SSB 15u National level prospect that has all the measurables, skill and basketball IQ to dominate all throughout his high school career. Has few peers that can match his athleticism. Silky smooth pull-up jumper and a deadly developing fadeaway. This is a lefty that many should become familiar with before he skyrockets up recruiting boards. High major prospect checks a lot of boxes.
27’ King Gibson - Team Loaded 3SSB 15u Gibson was another national level prospect in this division. He has the size at 6'5" and elite athleticism at the point guard position that coaches covet. His motor sets him apart from the majority of his peers and he's an exceptional rebounder for a guard. Very crafty creator off the bounce and makes difficult passes look easy. Unselfish player despite all the great tools he possesses. As he continues to develop and fine-tune his game, he could still be one of the top players in his class in a few years. (@thekinggibson8)
27’ Jyceon Patterson / Tru Elite 15u Fast guard in the open floor that plays with good instincts. Found ways to score the ball against every opponent and against different defensive looks. Has a consistent set shot, converts on fastbreaks and defends. Stands around 6’2”, but has long arms and quick hands. Can create off the dribble in half-court sets & is tricky around the basket. Very good guard prospect out of Monroe, NC that is worth tracking.
30’ Braven Blount / IGI White 12u One of the youngest players on this list. Blount has the frame, skill level and a high basketball IQ that can take him far. He’s exceptional at driving & dishing to an open teammate and he defends with a purpose. Has a great looking jumper, gets into the paint consistently and converts. A name to store in your memory bank & come back to in a few years.
27’ J’khye Dixon / Warriors Life Elite 15u Dixon scored the ball at a high level all weekend. He's lightning fast with the ball, never stops moving without the ball & can finish through contact. Track his development closely this summer. He's bound to establish himself as a go-to scoring guard & put up some eye catching numbers. If his playmaking ability continues to improve, he’ll gain even more traction.
‘27 Keyshawn Herring / 7th Nation Warriors 15u 6’2” electric athletic combo guard that has an impressive ability to get to the rim. Very hard to contain off the bounce, can knock down jumpers and is a highlight waiting to happen in the open court. One of the top guard prospects in the NC freshman class & one of the better all around athletes. D1 prospect with plenty of room to grow as a player. (@KeyshawnHerring)
26’ Tourean Thompson / New World Select 16u Thompson is a marksman from downtown that hit several big shots. He’s not afraid of the moment & rarely makes mistakes. Very cerebral guard that must always have a defender attached to him. Knocked down a game winner in his final matchup & was a steady contributor for his team as a scorer, facilitating & defending.
‘27 CJ Rosser / Team Trezz 15u Rosser is climbing up the national radar. He’s 6’8”, 14 years old & has a high skill level for a player with his size. Rosser has developed a nice turnaround jumper & is learning to play through contact. Defensively, he’s got a ton of versatility and can defend some guards & post players. As his athleticism continues to catch up with his game, he’s got a chance to become a top tier recruit. (@CJRosser7)
‘27 Kairell Evans / NC Invasion 15u Evans established himself as a go-to scoring option. His build, skill with the ball and IQ for scoring is impressive. Defenses can’t afford to make mistakes when he has the ball or he’ll make you pay. He’s at his best when he gets downhills but he can knock shots down while creating with his dribble. It’s early, but he’s a definite college prospect to track in the 2027 class.
‘25 Najai Hines / Strictly Ballas Elite Hines is 6’9”, 235 lbs and has game. He’s confident in his ability to operate on the block & sticks to his strengths. Defensively, he’s an exceptional shot blocker. Covers a lot of mistakes up for his teammates. Offensively, he’s raw but is a bigtime lob threat & can power through a defender with either hand. A lot to like long term. D1 prospect. (@najaihines)

From a skill standpoint, he has every tool in his bag. Excellent shooting ability in every facet. Outstanding ball-handler that rarely turns the ball over & he drops a ton of dimes. Very fast & a timely shot maker.
