2027 | Kaleb Johnson | Devin Butts Elite

2026 6’8″ PF Kaleb Johnson averaged almost a double-double throughout the weekend. Johnson is a long, physical big that makes plays around the basket. Johnson is a premier shot blocker and rim protector and can eat up rebounds on both ends. Johnson does well keeping the ball out of reach against his defenders and does well utilizing his footwork inside to get to the basket. Johnson understands positioning on both ends and combined with his high motor, it makes him a tough prospect to stop.

 

2026 | Tyler Jones | Team Thad

2026 6’4″ G Tyler Jones is an uber athletic guard that can get it going on both ends of the court for his team. Jones was impressive rim running on broken plays and in transition; getting to the rim in limited dribbles with his speed and agility. Jones is a physical guard that can make plays around the basket and did well finishing through contact. Jones had no issues stepping outside the 3-point line and knocking shots down. High ceiling prospect.

 

2027 | Dylan Jones | Team Thad

2026 6’6″ G Dylan Jones was one of the most impressive prospects I saw all weekend at The Main Event. Jones does well reading the defense, cutting to the basket, and finishing well above the rim. Jones proved to be a true three level scorer and has an effortless release to go alongside his shot accuracy. Jones can shoot it well off the catch or dribble, and had no issue finishing through contact. Uber athletic prospect that will be a player for college coaches to track this travel season.

 

2029 | Urijah Jordan 

2029 Urijah Jordan quickly stood out and was the best player on the court, leading his team with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Jordan is a shifty guard that does well scoring it around the basket with either hand. Jordan had some nice step-backs, creating space between him and the defender with a high release. Jordan used his length to get rebounds inside and limit his opponents opportunities. Young prospect that will be worth tracking over the next few years.

 

2027 | Jaylen Nelson | Devin Butts Elite

2027 Jaylen Nelson is a quick guard that does well playing on both ends of the court. Nelson is especially impressive from the 3-point line, connecting consistently, but isn’t shy attacking the basket and hitting floaters or going for lay-ups. Nelson does well reading the floor, finding opportunities for himself or his teammates cutting to the basket. High IQ guard that can score it in bunches.
