Part 1: https://www.nbadraft.net/2026-usa-basketball-minicamp-top-prospects-part-1/
Michai White 6’1, 170 PG – 2028
White impressed as a lead guard with his IQ and is constantly vocal. He sees the court well, runs the pick and roll, and does a good job bringing out the talent around him. He’s good playing off the dribble with his quickness as he can get into the paint and make plays, but his lack of size and athletic pop looks to limit him as a finisher at the next levels. He’s a capable shooter but would like to see it continue to improve. Defensively, White does a good job defending the perimeter.
Dawson Battie 6’9, 210 PF – 2027
Battie has a strong upper and lower body with good mobility. He’s fairly versatile, showing a handle when isolating on the wing or utilizing his size down low at times. He also shows some ability to switch up and down the lineup defensively. He’s a face-up threat, showing he can knock down the jumper. He finished above the rim a few times and was a plus rebounder.
Adan Diggs 6’4, 180 PG/SG – 2028
Diggs is a natural combo guard with long arms, playing well with the ball in his hands as he changes speed and direction effectively. He showed court vision making cross-court passes and has natural scoring ability. While he didn’t show the explosive athleticism he’s capable of in this setting, he looked comfortable finishing with either hand at the rim. Diggs is also dangerous hitting shots from anywhere on the court.
Brady Pettigrew 6’4, 185 PG/SG – 2028
Pettigrew (pictured) is a shifty ball-handler, doing a good job breaking down defenders with his dribble, showing an effective crossover, and scoring at the rim or pulling up from midrange. He has a strong upper body, giving him an advantage over most guards and helping him finish in the paint. He did a solid job creating for teammates and showed good shot mechanics.
Isaiah Hill 7’1, 205 C – 2027
Hill stands out as a finisher and defender. He’s athletic and a good lob target, finishing everything within a wide radius around the basket, making it difficult for defenses to contest. He’s also a good shot blocker, though it’s an area he can continue to improve as he learns positioning and avoids leaving his feet too often. He has the foundation to face up and can hit jump shots but will need to develop consistency. One of the younger players in the 2027 class, Hill has significant long-term upside.
Dylan Betts 7’4, 230 C – 2028
Betts stood out for obvious reasons, but at 7’4 he moves very well. He finished above the rim frequently but also scored effectively around the basket when he didn’t dunk, showing solid touch on up-and-unders and the ability to hit shots further from the rim. He was reliable cleaning up misses and showed flashes of floor spacing with an outside shot. Defensively, Betts shrunk the floor, blocking shots and keeping players out of the paint.
Evan Willis 6’7, 180 SF – 2028
Willis plays with a high motor and is a big-time athlete. He had plenty of strong finishes at the rim, both attacking off the dribble and cutting off the ball. He thrived in the open floor as a finisher as well. Defensively, he played with physicality and showed versatility, looking comfortable on the perimeter while also defending bigger players in the post. At 6’7, Willis will need to show more consistency with his three-point shot to become a more reliable floor spacer.
