OTR Hoops: Power 24 2026 Standouts – July 22, 2025

As the grassroots basketball scene heats up this summer, several 2026 prospects have continued to elevate their games and demand attention. From elite shot-makers to physical downhill guards, this group has proven they are not only talented, but also relentless competitors. Here’s a breakdown of six rising players whose stock is quickly on the rise.

By: On the Radar Hoops Scouting Staff

Jason Welborn | 2026 | @jasonwelbornjr

Welborn is one of the most complete offensive threats in the 2026 class. The 6’4 guard has a lightning-quick first step that makes him dangerous off the bounce, and his ability to score from all three levels puts constant pressure on defenders. He’s confident pulling up from deep, can get to his spots in the midrange, and finishes strong through contact at the rim. Welborn’s athletic tools, scoring instincts, and ever-improving feel for the game make him a prospect to keep a close eye on moving forward.

Addison Dyer | 2026 | @AddisonDyer11 | Langston Hughes HS (GA)

Dyer continues to prove he’s one of the most polished guards in Georgia’s 2026 class. The lefty plays with supreme control, using a smooth handle and impressive footwork to break down defenders. His scoring package is advanced—floater game, pull-up jumper, and finishing at the rim—but it’s his vision and feel as a passer that separate him. Dyer does a great job manipulating defenses, creating angles, and finding open teammates with precision. Expect his stock to climb as he gains more exposure.

Cedric Haynes Jr. | 2026 | @Cedric_Haynes5

Haynes Jr. brings physicality to the backcourt that sets the tone for his team. The strong-framed lead guard is a handful in transition and thrives when attacking downhill. He uses his strength and body control to finish through contact and create space in tight areas. Defensively, he embraces physical matchups and competes hard on every possession. Haynes is a natural competitor and plays with a chip on his shoulder. His toughness and ability to impact the game on both ends make him a high-upside prospect.

Demari Bailey | 2026 | @d3mari_bailey

Bailey is a high-ceiling guard with elite-level quickness and a bag full of moves. His shiftiness and tight handle make him one of the most difficult covers in open space. He’s able to create separation consistently and get into his scoring moves off the bounce. What stands out most is his ability to read defenses and adjust on the fly—whether it’s a change of speed, hesitation, or creative finish. Bailey’s upside as a dynamic shot creator continues to rise, and he projects as a guard that can take over games late.

Ben Uhde | 2026 | @UhdeBen | Johns Creek HS (GA)

Uhde made a major statement with a 27-point performance, including seven three-pointers in a win over AOT. The physical guard was simply on fire from deep and displayed deep range with confidence. But it wasn’t just his shooting—Uhde competes with a relentless motor and never shies away from physical play. He rebounds well for his position, defends hard, and brings a winning attitude to the court. With his shooting ability and toughness, Uhde will be a name to watch closely this fall.

This group of 2026 prospects continues to elevate their play each week on the circuit. Whether it’s the scoring versatility of Welborn, the smooth control of Dyer, or the toughness of Haynes and Uhde, each player brings a unique skill set that college coaches will want to track heading into their junior seasons.
