OTR Hoops: 2026 Standouts from Power 24 – July 24, 2024

OTR hosted the Power 24 this weekend, our third and final live period event of the year. Top-ranked prospects from across the region went head-to-head, making for plenty of entertaining basketball. College coaches from every level filled the baselines and we saw several players take advantage of the opportunity. These are some of the most impressive 2026 prospects we saw over the weekend.

6’0 PG Warren Keel – 2026 – Mass Rivals 3SSB

Warren Keel was playing up a year with Mass Rivals 17u but proved to be one of the best point guards in the event regardless of the age difference. Keel possesses IQ beyond his years and really understands how to control a game. He can facilitate and get his teammates involved while keeping the turnovers at a minimum. Keel can also score it when he wants to, capable of hitting shots off the bounce and really good with his floater around the paint. Keel currently holds 5 D1 offers and his list should continue to grow after a solid weekend at the Power 24.

6’4 SF Eli Mayfield – 2026 – Norcross Heat

Eli Mayfield had a great weekend at the Power 24, showcasing his ability to impact the game in a variety of ways. Mayfield is a versatile wing forward that uses his length extremely well to alter shots and clean the glass. He flashed some strong passing ability, able to zip tight window passes to cutters. At the rim, Mayfield can finish with finesse around opposing bigs. Mayfield will definitely be one to monitor in this 2026 classing moving forward.

6’9 F Duor Duor – 2026 – D Favors The Lab

Duor Duor has been a hot name as of late and his stock continues to rise after some strong showings at the Power 24. Duor is a mobile 6’9 forward that’s uniquely skilled for his size. He can knock down shots from the high post or step out and hit from beyond the arc. Duor also handles it fairly well and can put the ball on the floor to go coast to coast. He’s still far from his ultimate ceiling and has the tools to become an elite rim protector at the next level. While Duor was once deemed a sleeper, his name is now beginning to reach D1 coaches.

6’5 SG Alexander DiPaolo – 2026 – Team Loaded NC 3SSB

Alexander DiPaolo has all the tools to be a high-level role player at the college level. He did a little bit of everything this weekend for Team Loaded NC. DiPaolo provides a lethal spot-up option on the perimeter and shot the three-ball at a high clip all weekend. He’s a willing rebounder, able to hold his own physically around the cup. DiPaolo has good size for the position at 6’5 and can play above the rim as we saw on several transition dunks. He’s certainly one for LM-MM schools to start tracking.
