PLAYERS FEATURED
Day 2 continued to raise the level of competition, and this group of standouts answered the moment. From physical wings and downhill guards to high-upside forwards, these players consistently made their presence felt with production, toughness, and the ability to impact winning in multiple ways.

Cash Hall - PSB Elite Barnes - 2027
Cash Hall turned in one of the top scoring performances of Day 2, finishing with 26 points against a tough Team Gold Coast OTR squad. Hall played with tremendous confidence and control, mixing perimeter shot-making with aggressive downhill drives. He consistently got to his spots, made smart reads with the ball, and delivered when his team needed offense most. Hall is just as dangerous offensively with the ball in his hands then without. Against strong opponents, his production and poise stood out in a major way.

Keysanne Massengo - Charlotte Aces OTR - 2027
Keysanne Massengo brought a physical, aggressive approach that immediately stood out. At 6’3, he used his size well on the perimeter, attacked gaps with force, and played with intensity on both ends. His ability to pressure the rim and create tough baskets through contact made him a difficult cover, while his defensive energy helped set the tone for Charlotte Aces. His motor, and willingness to battle every possession is what makes him so valuable. Constantly flying over the ball.

Noah Dulin - Team Pittman 2028 - 2028
Noah Dulin continued to impress with his toughness and feel for the game. A strong, physical guard/wing, Dulin plays through contact, rebounds well for his position, and consistently finds ways to impact the game beyond scoring. His ability to finish in traffic and make smart reads in the half court made him one of the more reliable performers on Day 2. His scoring ability is already known, however he brings so much value even without the ball in his hands. Attacks the glass offensively, and gets easy baskets whether that’s through timed cuts or spot up shots.

Owen Hancock - Dub Salem - 2027
Owen Hancock brought confidence, and scoring punch to Day 2. He played with great control of tempo, consistently getting to his spots and creating quality looks. Hancock’s ability to knock down shots while also attacking closeouts made him a versatile offensive threat, and his confidence as a shooter stood out throughout the day. It genuinely sucks for his defenders as they are constantly chasing him around the floor due to his off-ball activity. Hancock has teams yelling “shooter” nearly every possession of the game.

Ayo Awosanya - Elite 1 - 2028
Ayo Awosanya continues to look every bit like a D1-caliber prospect. At 6’6, he has the length, athleticism, and two-way versatility that immediately catches attention. He impacted the game on both ends, finishing well around the rim, using his size defensively, and showing clear upside as his overall game continues to expand. His tools and production make him one of the most intriguing prospects from Day 2. Had an extremely successful season at Myers Park, and there is no doubt he will carry that momentum into the spring and summer.

Jayden Gunpy - Charlotte Aces OTR - 2027
Jayden Gunpy stood out as a true interior force on Day 2. At 6’7, he brings strong size, physicality, and an active presence around the rim that immediately impacts the game. He established a deep position well, finished through contact, and controlled the glass on both ends. What stood out most was his ability to use his frame and length effectively, whether it was protecting the paint, securing rebounds, or creating second-chance opportunities. His physical tools and two-way presence make him a very intriguing frontcourt prospect moving forward.

Gavin Reed - Team Gold Coast OTR - 2027
Even in two tough matchups, Gavin Reed continued to impress as one of the most polished guards in the building. Reed’s ridiculously quick release and confidence from the perimeter immediately stand out, but what separates him is how comfortable he looks with the ball in his hands. He changes pace well, keeps defenders off balance, and consistently creates quality looks for himself. Even when shots are not falling, his teammates trust him to keep shooting and getting looks. His strong performances reinforced his status as one of the top guards from the event and circuit.
Final Takeaway
Day 2 showcased a strong mix of proven production and long-term upside. Cash Hall’s 26-point outing against Team Gold Coast OTR highlighted his ability to take over against quality competition, while Gavin Reed continued to impress as one of the most skilled guards in the building. Ayo Awosanya and 6’7 2027 Jayden Gunpy (Charlotte Aces OTR) reinforced their high-level prospect status with their length, size, and two-way impact, while Keysanne Massengo, Noah Dulin, and Owen Hancock each brought toughness, confidence, and consistent production. Overall, Day 2 was defined by guards controlling the pace and versatile wings and bigs making winning plays on both ends.
