By Dr. Kris Watkins-Owner/Director of Southern Hoops Report, Video Director for On The Radar Hoops
2028 Jaxton Stoner
Wing with great size who has a high release on his jump shot, allowing him to get his shot off over smaller defenders. Extremely coachable and unselfish player on the offensive end. His outside shooting ability opens up his midrange game, where he consistently knocks down shots attacking in either direction on 2–3 dribble pull-ups.
2027 Dylan Crigler
Great footwork that allows him to attack either direction off the bounce. Good form and release on his jump shot that he knocks down from 3 or pulling up in the midrange. Scores within the flow of the offense takes what comes to him. Length helps him be effective on defense being able to cover a lot of ground.
2027 Tyson Sharper
Does a good job scoring in the mid-paint area on a variety of floaters and pull-ups. Keeps his dribble alive effectively when he gets into the paint, which helps his ability as a facilitator. Plays well out of ball screens, turning the corner to get into the lane, where he often finds wide-open shooters. Consistently knocks down spot up 3’s off kickouts.
2027 Rylan Wahl
HIGH ACADEMIC prospect who was named All-Region and All-County as a junior last season. Elite left-handed shooter whose shot looks like it is going in every time he releases it. Big guard who uses his size effectively on both ends of the floor. On offense, he is able to score through contact on drives to the rim, bouncing off defenders. On the defensive end, he slides his feet to stay in front, walls up, and alters shots without fouling. Works to score off the ball on cuts and catch-and-shoot opportunities in the mid-paint area.
