I usually dedicated a block of every weekend to scout new underclassmen. Featured on this list are 2029 and 2030 prospects who are making a name for themselves before the live event. This list is full of guards who have signs of having what it takes to become a college prospect.

Nicolas Lindsey | Future Stars | 2029

A lengthy 6’4 combo guard with next level athleticism. Lindsey plays above the rim in transition and in traffic. He plays for a coach that’s encouraging him to work in his jumper mid game which has led to improved yet streaky three point shooting. He’s an effortless athlete with an expanding offensive game and good defensive tools.

Ashton Allen | OCO | 2030 

Allen will come into high school with varsity ready athleticism and an ability to finish at the rim. He stands 6 foot tall with a downhill mindset and ability to score in traffic. Like any incoming freshman he needs to add strength and weight to his frame. If he can grasp the offense Allen has the skills to log minutes as a scoring guard in varsity summer leagues.

Warden Pierre | OCO | 2030

Pierre is all downhill every time. He looks to attack the basket as a long 6’1 guard. He’s a good defender who has the length to change shots in the paint against his matchup and pick the pockets of ball handlers. Pierre has a ton of physical tools and a knack for getting in the paint. Plays the game at a pace higher than many of the 14U teams he played.

Damian Rivera | OCO | 2029

Rivera is a skilled 5’9 guard. He has pace to his game and a crafty handle. He creates space for his shots with good footwork. 

Aiden Naccaratto | Blue Chips | 2029

Naccaratto knows how to score in space. He has a tight handle that creates space by attacking angles and crisp footwork. He has a consistent midrange jumper with several ways to get to his spots. Competitive 5’10 two way player who plays hard.

Kye McFadden | SE Elite | 2030

McFadden is confident and constantly in attack mode. Whenever he gets the ball he’s looking for a way to push the pace and get a bucket. He can knock the three, find guys out of screens, and get to the rim. He’s a skilled guard who’s already working on different pick up angles when attacking the basket.
