2026 | Amari Owens | Kentucky Hoop Dreams

2026 G Amari Owens was arguably one of the best guards in the building during the Sweet 16. Owens had multiple 30+ point games, showing off his ability to score the basketball at will. Owens does well penetrating the defense and getting to the basket. Owens is a tough, hard nosed guard that never takes plays off and is constantly seeking out the basketball. Owens plays with grit and passion that is noticeable each time he steps on the court.

2026 | Gavin Paterson | Judah Nation

2026 6’3″ G Gavin Paterson is an athletic scoring guard that stood out amongst several evaluators throughout the weekend. Paterson does well finding openings on the court to score or dish out to teammates. Paterson does well staying low and ready to shoot off the catch, and can just as easily square up to drive, beating his opponents to the basket. Paterson does well moving in open space and scoring through contact.

 

2026 | Ben Uhde | Georgia Legacy – White

2026 G Ben Uhde has stamped his name as one of the best shooters on this year’s On the Radar circuit. Uhde had a career high 8 3-pointers, going for 29 points in one of the best displays of shooting I’ve seen so far this year. Uhde is confident and despite being known on the court finds ways to score from the perimeter or inside. Uhde has a versatile game, staying engaged on both ends and makes the game look effortless with his abilities.

 

2026 | Jason Welborn II | Georgia Canes

2026 G Jason Welborn is a prospect who has continued to shine throughout early throughout this travel season. Welborn is one of the most athletic, bouncy guards in his class and has a knack for scoring the basketball. Welborn is a high-motor, high-flying guard that brings excitement to the game whenever he steps on the court. Welborn does well running the lead, getting his teammates involved and just as easily can create opportunities for himself around the court or above the rim.

 

2026 | Jerron Wilson | Georgia Stunners

2026 G Jerron Wilson is a confident scoring guard that can take over games quickly. Despite a slow start, Wilson was able to get himself going, knocking down shots outside the perimeter or converting steals at the other end. Wilson sees the court well and does well making the right play at both ends. Fast, shifty guard that can rack up steals and deflections and score it in bunches in a short amount of time.
