Champions
Miles Sadler 6’1, 165 PG – CIA Bella Vista (2026, West Virginia)
Sadler is a threat to make something happen every time he has the ball, consistently scoring or dropping a dime. He’s very good in the pick and roll, hitting shooters, the roll man, splitting defenders, or pulling up for his own shot. He leads well in transition and threw a number of lobs to set up the athletes around him. He racked up a lot of assists (8.3), though the turnovers (6.3) came with it. He has deep range and can hit contested shots in a defender’s face but shot 30.4% from three on 7.7 attempts per game, getting trigger-happy at times. He drew a lot of fouls, shooting 6.3 free throws per game, but only converted 68.4%, so shooting remains a work in progress. He’s a below-the-rim finisher but shows good body control, navigating tight spaces to hit difficult shots with either hand. The MVP averaged 23.3 points (64.1% FG), 4 rebounds, and 2.7 steals over three games.
Vaughn Karvala 6’8, 180 SF – CIA Bella Vista (2026, Indiana)
Karvala didn’t have a great championship game but was a key piece in their overall title run. He doesn’t create much offense on his own and only shot two free throws over the three games, but he played an important off-ball role, effectively spacing the floor as a shooter and cutting to use his athleticism to finish above the rim. Karvala averaged 10.7 points on 46.2% FG, 35.3% 3PT (5.6 attempts), along with 4 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.
Paul Osaruyi 6’10, 220 C – CIA Bella Vista (2027)
Osaruyi has improved significantly over the past year, showing more production and efficiency. He’s very athletic and difficult to contest as a finisher at his size. He also shows some touch, including a floater when he stops in the midrange. His outside shot lacks clean rotation and needs more consistency, but he’s capable from three (33.3%). He has a lot of potential on the defensive end. He needs to learn when to stay grounded rather than chasing blocks and picking up unnecessary fouls, but he still averaged 1.3 blocks per game and offers strong upside. Osaruyi averaged 16.3 points on 51.3% FG, 70% FT, and 7.7 rebounds (2.3 offensive) per game.
Runner Up
Joe Philon 6’8, 180 PF – Montverde Academy (2026, UCLA)
Philon brought good energy and defensive versatility. He’s lean but aggressive and athletic, though he picked up a few over-the-back fouls going for rebounds. Still, he provided a big spark for Montverde. He’s not expected to carry the offensive load, averaging 8.7 points on 42.3% FG, but he had some impressive dunks and scored well in the paint. He will need to shoot it better, going 2-7 from three over the three games, including one banked make, but he still made an impact. Defensively, Philon added 1.3 blocks and 1.7 steals per game.
Dhani Miller 6’3, 185 SG – Montverde Academy (2026, Kent State)
Miller was fantastic all weekend and played out of his mind in the second-round game against Prolific Prep. He hit tough shots throughout to score 27 points (10-15 FG, 4-6 3PT, 3-5 FT). He didn’t get many clean looks during the tournament and created a lot off the dribble, but still produced efficiently, averaging 22.7 points on 51.1% FG, 38.1% 3PT, and 66.7% FT. He mixed in strong drives but did most of his damage as a jump shooter. He’s a strong ball handler who handles physicality well. He also got to the line consistently, averaging six free throws per game. Miller added 6.7 rebounds (2 offensive), 2.7 assists, and 1.3 steals per game.
Oneal Delancy 6’3, 165 PG/SG – Montverde Academy (2027)
Delancy played mostly off the ball, recording just two assists over the three games, but hit a number of big shots throughout the tournament. He’s a high-volume scorer who needs little space to get his shot off and has deep range. He wasn’t very efficient from the field but showed toughness, especially in the championship game when Montverde made a late push. Delancy averaged 14 points on 26.8% FG, 36.4% 3PT on 7.3 attempts, and went 12-14 from the line, along with 3.7 rebounds per game.
Derek Daniels 6’8, 230 PF/C – Montverde Academy (2027)
Daniels plays within himself, staying near the basket and providing a presence in the paint on both ends. He’s very strong and explosive, highlighted by a tip dunk of his own miss before the defense could react. He doesn’t take on a heavy scoring role and remains limited offensively, but he’s efficient and impactful. Daniels averaged 6.3 points on 56.3% FG, along with 6.7 rebounds (2 offensive) and 2.3 blocks per game.
Final Four
Kaden House 6’4, 175 PG/SG – AZ Compass Prep (2026, Maryland)
House filled up the scoring column in both games, posting 26 points (8-15 FG) in the first and 20 (8-17 FG) in the second. He shot well from three (4-9) and hit a number of big shots, showing clutch ability when his team needed it. He’s very effective attacking off the dribble, using his quickness to get to the rim and finish tough shots. While a capable passer, he stood out more as a scorer. He’s also a strong perimeter defender, active on and off the ball, averaging 4.5 steals over the two games. He added 11 rebounds (6 offensive) in the loss to Montverde.
Kalek House 6’3, 180 PG – AZ Compass Prep (2026, Xavier)
House spaced the floor well and shot effectively in the first game against Spire, scoring 16 points (6-13 FG) and going 4-8 from three. He didn’t have the same impact against Montverde, finishing with 9 points (4-13 FG, 1-7 3PT). He plays more off the ball compared to his brother, not penetrating as much and not getting to the free throw line. He contributes with rebounding and defense, posting solid all-around numbers in both games.
DeMarcus Henry 6’8, 190 SF – AZ Compass Prep (2027)
Henry is a tough, versatile player who can shoot or put the ball on the floor and attack the rim. He uses his strong frame and nimble footwork to initiate contact and finish. He contributed as a passer and defender, including three blocks in the game against Spire. His perimeter shooting (3-10) shows potential but needs consistency. Henry recorded 15 points and 10 rebounds in one game and 18 points with 13 rebounds (7 offensive) in the other, though he struggled with turnovers, committing eight in the loss to Montverde.
DaKari Spear 6’5, 190 SG – Dynamic Prep (2026, Texas Tech)
Spear provided perimeter scoring and lived at the free throw line, going 20-21 across two games. He drew fouls on three-point attempts and even created some four-point plays, occasionally selling contact but doing so effectively. He scored 26 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3PT) in the first game and 22 (6-17 FG, 3-9 3PT) in the second. He played with confidence, defended well using his length, and averaged 4 rebounds per game. Most of his scoring came from the perimeter.
Marcus Spears 6’9, 200 PF – Dynamic Prep (2027)
Spears was dominant in the first game with 29 points (10-16 FG) and 8 rebounds. He’s taken on a much larger role this year and has become highly productive. He does most of his scoring in the post, using his length to finish with jump hooks. He still needs to add strength and expand his offensive game, particularly as a shooter (3-11 from three), but he showed flashes facing up and attacking from the high post. He drew fouls at a high rate and shot 17-20 from the line across both games. He struggled more in the loss to Bella Vista but still posted 16 points and 10 rebounds
Tarris Bouie 6’7, 170 SG/SF – Spire Academy (2026, Alabama)
Bouie was excellent in the first-round game against Archbishop Stepinac with 22 points (11-12 FG), 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. He’s a high-level athlete who plays hard and looks to dunk everything around the rim. He finished multiple alley-oops and added a few strong half-court finishes. His shot needs work, lacking clean rotation and consistency, as he went 1-7 from three and 5-14 from the free throw line over two games. Bouie remained productive in the loss to AZ Compass, posting 13 points (5-11 FG), 7 rebounds (6 offensive), and 6 turnovers.
Aiden Derkack 6’7, 180 SG/SF – Spire Academy (2026, Dayton)
Derkack played hard and was most effective attacking the rim. He thrives in the open floor and is a strong one-foot leaper. He’s more of a slasher than a shooter, going 1-3 from three in both games, but consistently found ways to score inside. He contributed on the glass with 7.5 rebounds per game and showed solid passing instincts. He had a stronger first-round performance with 12 points on 4-7 shooting but was quieter in the second game with 4 points.
Dorian Rinaldo-Komlan 6’10, 215 PF – Spire Academy (2026, Iowa State)
Rinaldo-Komlan won’t overwhelm with flash but brings a steady, reliable presence. He’s a solid athlete who finishes well and rebounds effectively, with good hands and awareness around the basket. His post game is fairly simple, but he has enough touch to convert inside. He was highly efficient against Stepinac with 19 points (9-11 FG) and 5 rebounds but struggled in the following game, finishing scoreless with 4 rebounds.
King Gibson 6’5, 185 PG/SG – Spire Academy (2027)
Gibson had a limited scoring role in the first game with 5 points but contributed as a passer with 6 assists to 2 turnovers. He was much more aggressive in the second game, scoring 21 points (6-15 FG) while adding 4 offensive rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 steals. He serves as a secondary ball-handler, capable of both scoring and facilitating. He can be turnover prone and needs to improve his perimeter shooting (2-9 3PT), but his athleticism and ability to get downhill stand out.
Darrell Davis 6’1, 160 PG – Spire Academy (2027)
Davis is undersized but quick, controlled, and difficult to pressure. He excels off the dribble and plays with strong pace and feel. He doesn’t force scoring, instead operating within the flow while setting up teammates. He controlled the game against Stepinac with 16 points (4-8 FG, 3-3 3PT, 5-6 FT) and 8 assists to just 1 turnover. He struggled more in the next round against AZ Compass, finishing with 4 points and 4 assists.
Caleb Holt 6’5, 205 SG – Prolific Prep (2026, Arizona)
Holt played well down the stretch, including an and-one three in the final minute to tie the game in the loss to Montverde. He shot efficiently from deep (3-5 3PT) and used his size well around the basket. He finished with 17 points (6-16 FG) and 9 rebounds (3 offensive). Holt also contributed defensively, showing the ability to guard both perimeter players and bigger matchups inside.
Bruce Branch 6’7, 195 SG/SF – Prolific Prep (2026, BYU)
Branch scored 11 points (5-10 FG) against Montverde. He wasn’t highly effective from the perimeter (1-4 3PT) but showed scoring ability in the post and in isolation. He plays within himself and doesn’t force shots, though he could look to be more assertive at times. Branch contributed defensively and grabbed 8 rebounds (3 offensive).
Davion Adkins 6’9, 210 PF/C – Prolific Prep (2026, Kansas)
Adkins was efficient, scoring 8 points on 3-3 shooting against Montverde. He kept things simple, finishing at the rim and serving as a reliable lob target. While he only grabbed 4 rebounds, his 2 offensive boards came at key moments. He also protected the paint effectively, finishing with 2 blocks.
Nasir Anderson 6’4, 215 PG – Prolific Prep (2027)
Anderson helped ignite the offense with a strong balance of scoring and playmaking. He attacked the rim aggressively and finished through contact against size. His perimeter shooting remains a weakness (1-4 3PT), but he still produced 12 points on 4-8 shooting. He added 7 assists with no turnovers and played solid on-ball defense, though foul trouble limited him at times.
Jordan Smith 6’2, 200 PG/SG – Paul VI (2026, Arkansas)
Smith (pictured) was outstanding in the loss to Bella Vista, finishing with 35 points (11-24 FG) and consistently attacking the defense. He plays with physicality and toughness on both ends, using his strength and explosiveness to score in the midrange and at the rim. His shot has improved but still needs more arc and consistency (3-11 3PT). He also drew fouls at a high rate, going 10-13 from the line.
Luca Foster 6’6, 185 SG – Link Academy (2026, Gonzaga)
Foster had a limited impact in the first-round win with 5 points but was much more effective in the second game, scoring 13 points (5-7 FG). He’s primarily a scorer, shooting well from three (3-4) and showing some ability to attack the rim with quick, reactive movements. His overall impact outside of scoring is limited.
Carlos Medlock 6’0, 165 PG – Link Academy (2026, Michigan State)
Medlock struggled from three but remained productive offensively. He’s quick off the dribble, able to get to the rim and pull up in the midrange. While not an elite athlete, he plays with toughness and control. He showed solid playmaking but also some turnover issues, finishing with 7 assists and 7 turnovers across two games. He scored 21 points against Wasatch and 20 against Dynamic Prep.
Davion Thompson 6’2, 170 PG – Link Academy (2027)
Thompson was electric, scoring 17 points in the opener and 26 in the second game. He’s a natural scorer who can heat up quickly, hitting shots from deep and the midrange. He’s also capable off the dribble, finishing tough layups despite not being an above-the-rim athlete. He totaled 6 assists and 7 turnovers over the two games.
First Round
Jasiah Jervis 6’5, 190 SG – Archbishop Stepinac (2026, Michigan State)
Jervis scored 20 points in a high-volume effort in the loss to Spire, shooting 8-21 from the field and 4-12 from three. He gets into his shot quickly and is comfortable shooting over defenders. He also showed the ability to score off the dribble and finish at the rim. He added 5 assists and 7 rebounds (5 offensive).
Hassan Koureissi 6’4, 170 SG – Archbishop Stepinac (2026, Fordham)
Koureissi was Stepinac’s top scoring option, finishing with 30 points (12-22 FG). He created much of his offense on his own and showed a smooth shooting stroke (2-5 3PT, 5-5 FT). While not an explosive athlete, he used a solid handle and touch to score at the rim. He also contributed on the glass, grabbing 6 rebounds, including 5 offensive boards.
