Physically strong guard packed with muscle. Crashes the glass for rebounds. Active hands guarding the ball. Forces turnovers and has a quick instinct to jump into passing lanes. Impacts games with his hustle.

Brayden Faulkner2028 5-11 G Brayden Faulkner – John Milledge
Nice flow with the ball. Plays with confidence and can make things happen off the dribble. Knocked down corner threes and found open windows along the perimeter. Heady offensive player.

Brandon Pemberton2027 6-4 W Brandon Pemberton – Parkview – IJM Elite
Was one of the most talked about players at camp. Long athletic positionless player. Point-forward skill set with his versatility. Grabbed rebounds and pushed the ball up the floor as a playmaker. Attacked from the wing, smooth getting to the rim. Knocked down threes. Capable of going into the post to score with his back to the basket. Gets to his spots without trouble. Does a little bit of everything.

Revel Edwards2027 5-8 G Revel Edwards – Kendrick – Black Hawks
Scored in transition. Used a pro hop to split defenders on his way to the hoop. High motor. Facilitated off the bounce. Great energy on defense, forcing turnovers with his constant activity.

Isaiah Scruggs2026 6-3 W Isaiah Scruggs – Effingham County – Effingham Bulldogs
Rangy swingman with muscle can do damage inside and out. Comfortable shooting the pull-up three. Hit big shots in close games throughout camp. Can sometimes settle for jump shots instead of attacking the rim. Plays hard. Great teammate. Has a chance to have a strong senior season.

Andre Dye Jr.

TEAM 7

Izaiah Turman2026 6-0 G Izaiah Turman – Jonesboro
Lefty. Shifty downhill attacker with speed. Got to the rim at will. Adding more strength will help him finish through contact. Steady three-point shooter. Good court vision. Can play either the 1 or the 2. Knack for rebounding. Should see an elevated role his senior season.

Talyn Harris2027 6-2 G Talyn Harris – SACA – Swain Academy
Strong bodied guard gets downhill exceptionally well. Absorbs contact, unable to get knocked off his course when attacking the basket. Scores the ball from multiple levels. Has upside as a drive-and-kick distributor and on-ball defender. A big final two seasons ahead of him.

Keon Slappy Jr.
2025 6-1 G Keon Slappy Jr. – Tucker – Atlanta Select
Crafty with the ball. Used eurosteps to avoid defenders when wiggling his way to the hoop. Knocked down threes off kick outs. Got to his spots in the mid-range and was able to frustrate opposing ball handlers with his defensive effort.

Lucas Smith2025 6-2 G Lucas Smith – Murray County – Five Star Basketball
Big athletic guard can play 1-4. Gets off the floor quickly for rebounds. Leaper plays off two feet in traffic and doesn’t shy away from contact. Solid outside shooter with three-point range. Has the ability to drive-and-kick to open shooters. Strong all-around game. Could be a nice late pickup for small programs.

Adonis Brown
2026 6-3 G Adonis Brown – South Gwinnett – Atlanta Strikers
Sizeable guard can play both the 2 and the 3. Strong with the ball when getting to the rim. Will mix in pull-up jumpers and can hit the three. Plays with a lot of energy, constantly keeping the pressure on the opposition. A threat to crash the glass for rebounds.

Kyle Pemberton2025 6-5 F Kyle Pemberton – Parkview
Holds the versatility to play inside and out. Comfortable bringing the ball up the floor. Passes well off the dribble, able to find shooters. Scores from multiple levels with his jumper. Springy finisher around the rim. Can guard inside and out. Did a good job getting out to the perimeter to block shots. Nice late option for small schools or JUCOs. Well-rounded skill set.

Kaden Collins2028 6-0 G Kaden Collins – Washington County – N.E.T.
Knocked down threes consistently throughout camp. Showed some elusiveness with the ball, using a spin move to evade defenders. Was able to influence games with his rebounding, passing and defense.

Cason Reed
2028 6-0 PG Cason Reed – Banks County – Georgia Generals
Playmaking shooter surveys the floor. Looks to create for others when attacking the hoop. Spaces the floor with his three-point shot. Crafty finisher downhill.

Cordell Simmons Jr.2026 6-3 W Cordell Simmons Jr. – Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe – Underdogs
Athlete. Used his leaping ability to grab rebounds from behind block outs without going over the back. Mixed in his offense from 15-feet and in. Sank turnaround jumpers and found points on slashes and putbacks. Contested shots on defense and got deflections.

TEAM 8

Makai Davis
2026 5-9 PG Makai Davis – Hancock Central – Georgia Magic
Scrappy defender plays with immense effort. Lightweight and quick on his feet. Changes directions fluidly with speed. Penetrates well, able to finish with his floater. Shot the ball well from beyond the arc. Competed hard around the rim and came away with a handful of blocks of bigger players.

Christian Hester
2025 6-0 G Christian Hester – Jefferson – Classic City Ballers
Tough-nosed guard is strong getting to his spots. Finishes at the rim through contact while playing off two feet. Doesn’t get sped up by aggressive defense. Scores with one-dribble pull-ups. Unselfish decision maker. Steady defender understands team defense.

Noah Reese2026 6-0 G Noah Reese – Effingham County – Effingham Grizzlies
Wiry guard likes to push tempo in the open floor. Bouncy athlete crashes the glass for putbacks. Draws in defenders while driving and zips out accurate passes to shooters. Good feel as a facilitator.

Jayden Futrell2026 6-3 W Jayden Futrell – Harlem – SKG
Strong frame. Power wing likes to attack the basket and score around the rim. Rebounds well offensively and defensively. Has growing range on his jump shot. Has the physical tools to be a versatile defender that can guard all over the floor.

Derick Gladman2027 6-0 G Derick Gladman – Lincoln County
Muscle-bound guard plays bigger than his size. Runs the floor well and gets baskets in transition with his hustle. Did most of his damage slashing toward the basket. Can be a handful defensively for guards not as strong.

Jace Mills2028 6-0 G Jace Mills – Habersham Central
Moved well without the ball. Had success along the baseline with floaters. Netted a couple threes throughout the day. Did a good job feeding the post with entry lobs.

Dayden Rogers2026 6-4 F Dayden Rogers – Banks County – Georgia Generals
Inside-out lefty bangs in the post, able to get to his hook shot or turnaround jumper. Stretches the floor with his three-point range and can score from the mid-range. Rebounds well in traffic. Plays physical in the paint. Creates mismatches with his versatility. Could cause problems in high ball screens with his ability to both roll and pop out.

Caleb Giles2026 6-5 PF Caleb Giles – Kendrick – Canes
Active interior presence is strong, long and can jump. Rebounds the ball very well and challenges shots on defense. Seals for post feeds and scores with a hook when drop stepping middle. Capable of playing above the rim for dunks. Does everything you would want from a big man.
