2026 | Amare James | Jabari Smith Celtics

2026 G Amare James is as tough as they come and put on a clinic all weekend long. James is an electric scoring guard that doesn’t mind sacrificing his body to score. James is constantly in attack, making shots at every level and does well finishing through contact. James was a menace defensively getting deflections and steals, then heading the opposite direction to score in transition. Athletic, bouncy guard that stays engaged and is active constantly on both ends.

 

2028 | Blaze Johnson | Atlanta Celtics

2028 W Blaze Johnson is a young athletic guard that can score it at ease. Johnson has continued to develop both his game and his body, and will soon be attracting the attention of college coaches. Johnson has the ability to create shots off the dribble with his handles, attacking the basket well and using angles to finish around the basket. Johnson sees the court well and is able to make quick, correct decisions for himself and his teammates. High IQ guard that continues to get better each time out.

 

2029 | Camryn Lee | Tre Mann

2029 G Camryn Lee is a tough lead guard that is patient, scanning the court for opportunities before making a decision. Lee’s ability to see the court in slow motion allows him to be a step or two ahead of his opponents for openings to score or his teammates slipping to the basket. Lee plays calm and collected, and can quickly rack up points attacking the basket and scoring around the mid-range. Tough, smart play maker.

 

2026 | Jasen Lopez | SOH Elite

2026 PG Jasen Lopez was one of the better ball handlers in his class at Summer Jam. Lopez, a dual-sport athlete, showed why he is being recruited in both basketball and football. Lopez’s athletic ability was on full display, showing his ability to get up and down the court quickly, paired with his vertical makes him an intriguing prospect. Lopez has no problem hitting 3’s off the catch or penetrating in to connect on floaters or lay-ups at the basket. Lopez’s quickness defensively makes him just as much as a threat, staying aggressive on the ball and reading his opponents for quick steals.

 

2027 | Chase Lumpkin | AOT

2027 G Chase Lumpkin has an ability to make the game look effortless with his size and skill set. Lumpkin does well playing the lead guard spot, finding his teammates open cutting to the basket but can just as easily create scoring plays for himself. Lumpkin’s length and size, paired with his skill set made him a threat on both ends. Most notably, his ability to draw in the defense for easy assists to his teammates was impressive. Lumpkin does well reading his opponents and is able to secure multiple steals a game and finish in transition.

 

2026 | Kyree McKelton | Harris Athletics

2026 G Kyree McKelton is a quick guard that is being highly noticed from scouts at On the Radar events. McKelton easily averages 20+ points a game, capitalizing on steals while finishing in transition or knocking down 3’s as soon as he crosses half court. McKelton’s quickness and defensive ability continually makes him a threat to his opponents.  Running the lead guard position, McKelton allows for plays to develop, finding open teammates in the half court set. Smart, high motor guard that is a player to track.
