Power 24 Standouts-Part 1
Kennesaw, GA –The On The Radar Hoops Power 24 has been a staple during the NCAA Live Period in July since 2017. The Top independent and numerous shoe teams all converged on the Metro Atlanta Area to play on one of the Nation’s largest basketball stages this weekend.
2026 Antonio Rivers-DFTW
Rivers is a composed lead guard with a natural ability to score the basketball. His strong upper body allows him to finish through contact in the paint, and he uses a quick first step to blow by defenders on the perimeter. He does an excellent job of keeping his dribble alive while attacking the defense, looking for seams to attack. Whether it’s getting to his pull-up jumper or collapsing the defense to create for others, Rivers consistently makes things happen off the bounce. On the defensive end, he’s an active on-ball defender who applies constant pressure. He disrupts opposing guards with his on the ball defense often generating deflections and steals through active hands and quick feet. Does a good job of guarding without fouling.
2026 Isaiah Headley Smith-Team SMASH
Over the past two weekends, he has consistently stood out as one of the top prospects we’ve evaluated and one of the most talked-about players on the court. He’s a high-level scorer who does it efficiently and with confidence. An explosive finisher at the rim, he needs very little space to catch defenders off guard and throw down powerful dunks that make opponents regret jumping with him. If he gets a clean look from three, you might as well add the points to the scoreboard. He’s a patient decision-maker in ball screen situations, capable of pulling up for a three if the defender goes under, or blowing by a big if he gets the switch.
2026 Cameron Jackson-GA Stunners
Jackson is a long, athletic wing who can score at all three levels. He’s especially effective slashing to the basket or knocking down shots from beyond the arc. He attacks the rim aggressively, showing no fear of contact and regularly finishing through or over defenders. A capable secondary ball handler and playmaker in the half court he can collapse the defense and find open teammates. On the defensive end of the floor he uses his length to get in passing lanes on the perimeter and acts as a shotblocker at the rim on defensive rotations.
2026 Jayden Crawford-GA Canes
Crawford is arguably the top shot maker on the On The Radar Hoops circuit. He’s a quick, crafty guard who can score in bunches. With a smooth handle and great confidence in his shot, especially from deep, he doesn’t need much space to get his shot off. Crawford excels at creating looks off the dribble from anywhere on the floor. His strong commitment on the defensive end has also boosted his recruitment in recent months, leading to several new offers from multiple Division I schools.
2026 Malik Gillespie -Warner Robbins All Stars
Gillespie is one of the most underrated/explosive prospects on the On The Radar Hoops Circuit. You already know every time you watch him he will make one to two highlight-worthy plays at the rim every game. He scores within the flow of the offense without forcing things. He has elite footwork from the triple-threat position that allows him to create space getting to his pull-up jumper with minimal dribbles. He has great elevation on his midrange shots, with a smooth, consistent release. His improved ball-handling gets him to his spots using his in and out dribble/crossover to blow by defenders.
2026 Kayin Harris (GAA)
Harris is a player who just seems to always be in the right place at the right time during the game. He gets deflections on defense in GAA’s press and is a knock down shooter from 3 on offense. He does a good job using his headfake and attacking off the dribble where he finishes at the rim off 2 feet generating contact and getting to the free throw line.
