2028 | Tremaine Alford | GTA
2028 G Tremaine Alford has been a standout early this travel season for his play. Alford is a fast, high motor guard that is driven to score. Alford is a consistent guard that can score; finding his way to the basket, the mid-range, or knocking down shots from outside the perimeter. Alford is in constant pursuit of the basketball on either end and is always a move or two ahead of his opponents.
2026 | Emmanuel Alofe | AOT
2026 6’7″ PF Emmanuel Alofe is a high flying big that was able to grab the attention of the gym with some of his dunks. Alofe does well scoring off the catch and can find his way to the basket in limited dribbles, pulling up around the free throw line or taking it to the rim. Alofe has gotten stronger this off season, filling out and using that to his advantage on the attack down hill. Defensively, Alofe stays engaged and utilizes his length to protect the basket.
2027 | Roman Avery | Sewer South
2027 6’4″ G has been one of the more consistent outside scorers we’ve seen early on in this travel season. Avery stays ready and does well relocating to get his shot off around the perimeter. Avery has a smooth, clean stroke from outside and does well gathering quickly to get his shot off. Avery is averaging multiple 3’s each game, doing so with limited space needed. Avery reads the defense well and if they come out quickly, he does well getting passed them to the basket. Wiry, high clip guard.
2028 | Tai Bell | SOH Elite
2028 G Tai Bell is an active lead guard that is determined to help his team win. Bell does well making the right leads, finding himself scoring at or above the rim effortlessly. Bell does well converting opponents broken plays to quick offensive buckets and with his uber athleticism is able to add excitement to finishes. One of the more shifty guards we saw this weekend that can also knock it down consistently 10’+. Active on the ball and help defender that can pick up steals, too.
2026 | Gregory “Pops” Dunson Jr. | Jabari Smith Celtics
2026 Gregory “Pops” Dunson Jr. was easily one of the best guards in his class in attendance at Summer Jam. Dunson does all the little things well and the way he is able to get his team involved speaks volumes for his game. Dunson led his team back in multiple come back wins, by being aggressive and assertive in the attack or drawing defenders and dishing to teammates. Dunson is a patient guard that can create his own shots 10’+ out and does well completing plays. High energy and effort player.
2026 | Nate Earl | Team Person
2026 6’2″ Nate Earl is an athletic guard that can score it in bunches. Earl does well getting down hill, attacking the basket, and finishing through contact against larger opponents. Earl does well staying balanced and rising up after creating space between himself and his defenders, keeping is shoulders squared with the basket. Has provided Team Person a scoring lift playing alongside Connor Teasley, with his high motor and quick scoring ability.
