SUWANEE, Ga. — The 2nd Annual Main Event is a Southeast regional event presented by On The Radar Hoops and HoopSeen, where over 250 teams across six age groups take the stage in the greater Atlanta area.

Kendall Charleston - Norcross Heat - 2027

The 6-foot-3 shooting guard played with a ton of explosiveness and confidence in the open court, where he knocked down timely shots to lift his team down the stretch in a win over Elite Playmakers. On the defensive end, he was vocal and showed true activity when it came to applying pressure in the passing lanes as well as protecting the rim, limiting the opposition from getting second-chance scoring opportunities.


Amare McKinley - Elite Playmakers OTR - 2027

The 6-foot junior guard was quick and elusive when it came to being active and moving without the basketball in his hands, getting to his spots, and finishing with confidence in the mid-range as well as out on the perimeter. His defensive effort was top-notch, where he was face guarding the opponent’s best player, showing true leadership, and made havoc to get off a solid shot.


Jaden Bennett - Team Gold Coast 16U OTR - 2028

The 6-foot-3 shooting guard displayed a strong scoring arsenal, playing with a ton of confidence on the offensive end. He created a ton of quality chances to score with and without the basketball as the primary ball-handler. His IQ and court vision have continued to improve, as he got his teammates involved based on his dribble penetration and kicking out to open shooters on the perimeter. On the defensive end, he showed true capability in guarding positions 1 through 3, where, despite his size, he was unafraid when it came to challenging shots around the rim.

Moses Alls - HWPO Hoops 16U OTR - 2028

The 6-foot-3 combo guard is athletic and can play a versatile role on the offensive end, whether it is as the primary ball-handler or distributing to get his teammates involved early in the offensive set. On defense, he showed true poise, energy, and grit when it came to applying pressure on the ball as well as being active in the passing lanes. He was also in full takeover mode in the Saturday morning game against Tennessee Impact.

Donovan Swain - Team Gold Coast 17U OTR - 2027

The 6-foot-3 shooting guard continues to build himself an impressive start to the spring, where he has raised his stock to start gaining national attention. On offense, he brought his three-level scoring, whether it’s his ability to play or off the ball. On defense, he played with a lot of energy and poise, where he made havoc guarding the ball or in the passing lanes. He also brought strong rebounding to the table, where his long arms made it difficult for the opposition to get off any second-chance scoring opportunities.

Peter Julius - Georgia Stars EYBL 16U - 2028

The 6-foot-10 power forward is a long-armed prospect who can make havoc in a lot of ways, whether it’s his rebounding, blocking shots, or finishing dunks in transition. He is a dominant rim presence on both ends of the floor, where he was comfortable finishing off two feet on the offensive end. On the defensive end, he added physicality to his frame, where he was unafraid to challenge shots around the rim, as well as displaying strong footwork to close out shooters on the perimeter. The two-way sophomore power forward is already receiving interest from several Division-1 programs.

Brisun Hammermeister - Game Elite Basketball 17U - 2027

The 6-foot-7 junior small forward did a phenomenal job when it came to spreading the floor on the offensive end, as well as becoming more confident in finishing around the rim just over a year after recovering from a serious knee injury that caused him to miss his junior season. In a come-from-behind win over Sewer South, Hammermeister scored a game-high 15 points. He would follow up with 20 points in his second game of the day in a win over the Shockers.

Tiago Lee - Anthony Edwards 3SSB 17U - 2027

The 6-foot-6 combo guard possessed great size and length in the open court, where he was unafraid when it came to attacking the front of the rim against multiple defenders on the offensive end. He was also pestering himself around the glass, battling for rebounds and showing his high motor, where he limited opponents from getting second-chance scoring opportunities. Expect Lee’s game to continue to blossom over the course of the spring where he could be poised to have a huge recruitment period heading into his senior season.
