East Team
Cliff Alexander
PF, 6-9, 245
Curie HS (IL)
Committed to Kansas
Outlook: Alexander is the most physical and explosive big man in the country. Equipped with punishing strength and fluid mobility, he operates from the mid to low post and looks to destroy opponents. Facing up, he has a quick first step to get to the rim. And he is a terror on the offensive and defensive glass. Alexander’s punishing strength and bouncy athleticism are reminiscent of a young Amar’e Stoudemire.
Alexander is a terrific screener, with quick feet to precisely roll and strong hands to catch on the way to the basket. His athleticism and junkyard dog mentality allow him to impose his will on the boards, too. The next step offensively is to build a back to the basket repertoire. Alexander has occasionally flashed a hook shot, but he needs to show consistency.
Defensively, Alexander has made huge strides over the past year. At the HoopHall Classic in January, he had games of 30 points/26 rebounds/14 blocks, and 30 points/12 rebounds/5 blocks, doing so against two good teams (King and Montverde). Alexander has showcased excellent shot blocking prowess, especially guarding his man 1-on-1.
He dominates the paint on both ends, and has shown he can be a good free throw shooter (8-8 vs. Montverde). NBA-ready physique with tantalizing athleticism and energy. In my opinion, his commitment to defense gives him a slight edge on AAU teammate Jahlil Okafor as the best player in the country.

Justin Jackson
SF, 6-7, 185
Homeschool Christian (TX)
Committed to North Carolina
Outlook: Jackson is the most offensively complete wing player in the class. A 6-7 small forward, Jackson has a wiry frame but knows how to angle his body and use his length to finish all over the floor. He can handle the ball, both in transition and under pressure, and he is automatic inside the 3-point line.
Jackson has a long first step to get into the mid-range area, where he can stop-and-rise for a tear-drop. In fact, Jackson’s floater is the most reliable move in the country. If I had to trust one player in the class to get me a basket, I’m choosing Jackson and his floater.
Jackson needs to show more consistency on his 3-point shot, especially as defenders begin to wall off his driving lanes. Right now he’s a good but not great distance shooter, as he mostly relies on his driving game and transition. He also needs to add muscle to his 185-pound frame.
But at 6-7, Jackson has an unbelievable mid-range game, and he can defend 2s and 3s . It concerns me that he’s homeschooled because he plays terrible competition—and frankly I’d like to know how old Jackson is—but if he’s a true senior, his upside is very high.

Theo Pinson
SF, 6-6, 190
Wesleyan Christian Academy (NC)
Committed to North Carolina
Outlook: Pinson is one of the most versatile players in his class; a multifaceted forward who does a bit of everything at a high level. He can facilitate offense from the wing or foul line, slash to the hoop, and defend multiple positions. What impresses me most though is incredible passing ability. He has the vision and feel of a point guard, although he struggles to handle the ball. Pinson can facilitate and make plays, slashing his way into the lane and consistently making the correct “basketball play.”
Explosive athlete in the open court, either running the wings or grabbing a defensive rebound and starting the break himself.
With a limited handle and inconsistent jumpshot, though, it’s hard to evaluate Pinson in the half-court. What position will he play in college? He’s too small to play inside, but he doesn’t have the jump shot to be a perimeter threat. His rebounding and defensive versatility are valuable attributes, but developing a jump shot is imperative for Pinson’s future.

Tyus Jones
PG, 6-1, 170
Apple Valley (MN)
Committed to Duke
Outlook: Jones is the ultimate playmaker, and his ability to run a team at this level is nearly perfect. Although Jones is not a great athlete, he is capable of playing at various speeds, and is exceptional on the high ball screen. He turns the corner for a floater or short jumper, or he can thread the needle and hit the roll man. He has a good crossover to maintain space in the half court, and his basketball IQ is second to none. Most people believe Jones is a top-5 player in the class.
All that said, I’m not totally convinced.
At 6-1, limited athletically and just an average shooter, Jones may struggle to create space against bigger/stronger players. At the Elite 24 Showcase last July, he struggled against not only 6-5 Emmanuel Mudiay, but also against Rashad Vaughn and Romelo Trimble. Mudiay easily beat Jones off the dribble and isolated him in the post. The college and NBA level are more matchup-oriented, and Jones is a favorable matchup for bigger/more athletic guards.
He’ll get another crack at Mudiay in Chicago. Jones must show he can play against bigger guards, both offensively (handling the ball against length) and defensively (staying in front of his man).

Isaiah Whitehead
PG, 6-4, 195
Lincoln (NY)
Committed to Seton Hall
Contact: 718-300-2038 (cell)
Outlook: I first observed Whitehead three years ago as a rising sophomore.
A scoring point guard, he has an innate ability to get to the basket. He plays with a palpable chip on his shoulder—almost an angry mindset. Whitehead feels slighted and overlooked; he wasn’t ranked in the top-70 until the end of this past summer, but he gradually climbed up the rankings and into the McDonald’s game by going at top-ranked players and dominating. Now, ESPN has him in its Top-15.
When I first observed Whitehead, he got into a heated scoring battle against Archie Goodwin, scoring 36 points. Two summers ago, Whitehead faced Andrew Harrison, and once again he held his own. And this past summer, he won MVP of the Elite 24 game, giving Emmanuel Mudiay a run for his money.
Whitehead is one of the strongest drivers in the class. He has a chiseled physique and quick initial step to get in the lane and finish through contact. A recently improved jump shot has opened up driving lanes, making him even more dangerous off the dribble. He’s also improved his “point guard skills,” showing a commitment to reverse the ball and pick his spots more wisely. If he continues to showcase maturity and understanding of how to manage an offense, Whitehead should be make the full-time transition at Seton Hall.
That said, I have two serious concerns: 1) Whitehead is a below average athlete; 2) he has a propensity to commit turnovers.
Whitehead is not very explosive. I’m not sure he can score at the basket against better athletes at the next level. And with regards to his turnover habit, Isaiah is prone to coasting, becoming lackadaisical on his passes. He simply doesn’t value every possession right now.
An additional concern is that Isaiah releases the ball from his chin area when he shoots. This could be an issue down the road. If he can limit his turnovers, I think he’s better than Tyus Jones because of his physique and craftiness scoring the basketball. He has no friends or allegiances on the high school level, and Whitehead is coming to Chicago to make a statement. He tends to rise to the occasion.

D’Angelo Russell
SG, 6-4, 180
Montverde Academy (FL)
Committed to Ohio State
Outlook: Russell is the “smoothest” player in the country. He’s a shifty 6-4 guard with effortless range on a lefty jump shot. Russell has the quickest release in the country. He has perfected the jab step to create separation and flick his wrist…resulting in a “swish.” He can play on-or-off the ball, has solid court vision, and with lightning-quick speed he can score in bunches.
I still can’t gauge Russell’s ceiling, because there are some holes in his game—namely, a lack of size and strength. But you can’t teach his jump shot and composure.
Elite quickness, ball skills and 3-point shooting are second to none. He could average 20 points as a college freshman. A slivery guard who can score against NBA length and athleticism, with a huge upside.
Extended scouting report: http://staging.collegelayup.com/?p=2213
-
Karl Towns Jr.
St. Joseph (MA)
PF/C, 6-11, 235
Committed to Kentucky
John Calipari (Head Coach, Kentucky): 859-619-9496
Outlook: Towns is 6-11 with the face-up skills of a small forward. He’s a stretch-5, reminiscent of Pau Gasol.
Soft touch facing up in the paint, with range to the 3-point line. Great passer facing the basket and can pass it out of a double team in the low post. When I saw Towns at the HoopHall Classic in January, he converted several counter-moves in both face-up and back-to-the-basket situations, scoring 21 points on 9-12 shooting. Nimble footwork, polished with either hand, great vision from the post, and a capable shot blocker.
That being said, Towns is a poor defender at this point. He gambles for blocks and doesn’t move that well laterally. I’ve only seen him once, but he let a sophomore score 23 points and grab 6 rebounds on him. Towns needs to show up for a full 32 minutes—namely, rebounding with conviction, defending for entire possessions, and embracing contact on both ends of the floor.
His natural gifts are nonetheless very intriguing. Again, I’m going off a one-game sample size. But if Towns can become more physical on both ends, he will be able to maximize his vast offensive arsenal.
-
Justise Winslow
SF, 6-5, 210
Saint John’s High School (TX)
Committed to Duke
Outlook: Winslow is a left-handed swingman who is powerful attacking off the bounce, with great body control at the rim. Muscular physique and a chiseled upper body to get into the teeth of the defense. His strong build also makes him a versatile defender, capable of defending 2s and 3s.
But Winslow is more of a point forward than a traditional wing, and he may not suffice as a 6-5 point forward. The closer Winslow gets to the basket, the more effective he is—which isn’t good. He needs to develop a jump shot.
Right now, his jump shot is flat. His only move is to put his head down and drive left. Winslow does a little bit of everything, but in college he must develop specific skills to distinguish himself. I think Winslow is a bit overrated.
-
James Blackmon Jr.
SG, 6-3, 175
Marion (IL)
Committed to Indiana
Outlook: Blackmon is a score-first guard whose best attribute is 3-point shooting. He plays within himself, partly because he’s under control but also because he’s limited in his ability to score. In other words, he knows his limitations, and remains passive until an open shot emerges.
He’s an extraordinary shooter—with his feet set, off the dribble, or running off screens—but is limited otherwise. He struggles to finish at the basket and he lacks necessary point guard skills. Average athlete, average defender; purely a shooter right now.
His sharpshooting abilities should immediately translate to Indiana, and make him a threat to score 20 points every time he steps on the floor. But I’d like to see Blackmon contribute in ways besides scoring; namely, facilitating and penetrating off the bounce. I last saw him in July, so it’s possible he’s rounded out his game since then.

-
Romelo Trimble
PG, 6-2, 175
Bishop O’Connell (MD)
Committed to Maryland
Outlook: Trimble is a crafty point guard who can make shots off the dribble. If you leave him open or give him an inch of space, he’ll make you pay.
But at 6-2 and without much athleticism, he’s too small to play SG and will have to play the point. He still learning. Right now, Trimble often has tunnel vision, dribbling for entire possessions in pursuit of a 20-foot jump shot. He has a propensity to jack up shots early in possessions, in turn freezing out his teammates. At the HoopHall Classic in January, I saw him score 26 points, but it was on 7-22 shooting and he finished with 7 turnovers to 0 assists.
The next step for Trimble is learning how to facilitate and hone his point guard skills to make his teammates better. He’s a proven scorer, but getting others involved will not only create an offensive flow, but also take the pressure off himself. It seems like Trimble thinks he has to score 30 points for his team to win. Talented offensively, but still learning how to play the point. Him and Dion Wiley will be a dynamic backcourt at Maryland in due time.
Extended scouting report: http://staging.collegelayup.com/?p=2279
West Team
Jahlil Okafor
C, 6-10, 265
Whitney Young (IL)
Committed to Duke
Outlook: Any evaluation of Okafor starts with his big frame and exceptional footwork. He is physically too big and too skilled for his peers right now.
He is the most polished post-up player in the country. Strong hands and a wide trunk to carve out space for the entry pass, and Okafor has a calculated post game that will immediately translate at Duke. The best part of Okafor’s game, though, is his footwork. He is a ballerina on the basketball court, in both face up and back to the basket situations. He squares up the defender, makes a quick move, and has impeccable timing and touch on his release.
He simply has low post skills that aren’t found on the high school level. Okafor could easily be argued as the best player in his class. In terms of a comparison, he reminds me of a young Elton Brand—not the most athletic player, but impeccable footwork, can dominate by facing up or back to the basket, and an automatic double-double. He can play either role on the high-low. Too skilled at 6-10, 265 pounds; his footwork makes it unfair at this level.
If I had to nit-pick, I’m a little concerned about Okafor’s lack of athleticism. He’s not a poor athlete, but his bounce leaves something to be desired. Perhaps if he continues to chisel out his frame he will gain some bounce. NBA defenders who match his size may be able to contest his shot at the rim. But that’s more than a year away.
It may not show in a transition-heavy setting like the McDonald’s Game, but on the high school and probably college level, Okafor can’t be guarded 1-on-1 in the post.
-
Emmanuel Mudiay
PG, 6-5, 190
Prime Prep (TX)
Committed to Southern Methodist
Outlook: Mudiay is the best scorer in the country. At 6-5, he has an NBA-ready handle; he has a two-way crossover, quick spin move and a step-back to get a clear look over any guard in the country. He has an advanced post game to effectively utilize his height advantage over most point guards, which makes him unguardable when his shot is falling. NBA range on his jump shot, a lethal handle to get into the paint, and the body control to will the ball into the basket.
Mudiay is rapidly improving as a facilitator as well. He commands so much attention that lanes inevitably open up for his teammates. Once he gets into the lane, he can kick out to shooters, or drop it off to cutters and big men. I’ve seen Mudiay on the losing end of a game, but I’ve never seen him lose his individual matchup. My one criticism is that he sometimes is wreckless driving the ball, forcing plays that aren’t there. But his perimeter size, explosive first step and deep shooting range make him the best scorer in the country.

Kelly Oubre Jr.
SF, 6-7, 195
Findlay Prep (NV)
Committed to Kansas
Contact: 504-405-4449 (cell)
Jerome Williams (Head Coach, Findlay Prep): 702-290-3113
Outlook: I’ve known Kelly and his family since his sophomore year at Bush (TX) High School, when he played alongside then-senior Cameron Ridley. He had a stellar high school career—beating the rival Harrison twins three times as a junior—but Kelly fell under the radar playing on the Houston Hoops, an AAU team stacked with wing prospects such as Justin Jackson and Justise Winslow. Jackson and Winslow got the majority of the minutes and touches.
Now at Findlay Prep for his senior season, Oubre has “mysteriously” skyrocketed into the top-10 of the rankings. He’s always had the game, but now he finally has the opportunity to showcase his skills.
At 6-7, 195 pounds, Oubre is an athletic swingman with the most bounce in the country. He quickly runs the floor and has a rare second bounce to finalize plays above the rim. In the half court, the lefty has a smooth jump shot out to 3-point range. Excellent potential as a cutter as well. Can shoot it, slash off the ball, and finish in the lane.
But right now, Kelly is a streaky shooter, and he struggles to handle the ball under pressure. His improvement in these two areas will determine if he has a future in the NBA, because the physical gifts are certainly apparent. Oubre is a tireless worker with a burning desire to improve, and he has the upside to be the best perimeter player in the class.
Maybe I’m inherently biased, but I think Kelly will be an absolute stud at Kansas. With continued development—namely, adding muscle and handling the ball under pressure—Oubre has the natural talent to be an instant contributor in Lawrence, and then some.

Stanley Johnson
SF, 6-6, 220
Mater Dei High School (CA)
Committed to Arizona
Outlook: Standing at 6-6 and 220 pounds, Johnson has an NBA-ready physique to go along with a quick first step and incredible explosion. His combination of size and power on the perimeter make him unstoppable on the high school level. He is also a lock-down defender, using physicality and lateral quickness to wall off defenders on the perimeter.
During last summer’s July recruiting period, Johnson legitimately defended three positions. He flies in transition, often just grabbing a D-rebound and starting the break himself.
Ironically, though, my biggest concern is currently Johnson’s biggest strength—his physical makeup. I wonder if Johnson has already maxed out physically. If so, as other players continue their physical development, he won’t be able to overpower them for the rest of his career. Johnson must develop a jump shot to round out his game and prevent this from happening. If he continues to develop physically and his jump shot improves, Johnson has scary NBA potential because his explosion through contact is at a professional level.
-
Grayson Allen
SG, 6-4, 185
Providence School (FL)
Committed to Duke
Outlook: With good size at 6-4, Allen is a polished straight-line shooter and an underrated athlete. He can shoot it off screens and on the catch, and he can stop-and-rise with excellent shooting mechanics.
Allen has a high basketball IQ, plays within the team—he came off the bench for Each 1 Teach 1, yet he distinguished himself enough to earn a Duke scholarship—and he has a beautiful jump shot. He can shoot it, or with a quick first step, he can get to the rim and dunk it.
But Allen will have to prove he can do it consistently in college; he was great when called upon in high school, but again, his touches were limited. He was passive at times, and often went through entire games without making an impact. His jump shot and bounce make him capable, but the jury is still out on Allen’s long-term potential.
-
Rashad Vaughn
SG, 6-5, 200
Findlay Prep (NV)
Committed to UNLV
Jerome Williams (Head Coach, Findlay Prep): 702-290-3113
Outlook: Vaughn is first and foremost a shooter. He has great size at 6-6 to get a clear look whenever he wants. He’s most effective shooting on the catch, particularly from the wings and corners. Because defenders respect his jump shot, he has improved at attacking close-outs to get to the rim.
That said, right now he struggles to create 1-on-1. Vaughn must learn how to utilize off-the-ball movement. He has trouble freeing himself off the ball, and doesn’t maximize his 6-6 frame as a cutter or in post up situations. Vaughn is a good shooter, but he doesn’t attack like you’d imagine a 6-6 McDonald’s All-American should.
If he can develop a jab step or a way to create separation, he will elevate his game to the next level. Right now he lives and dies by the 3-point shot.
-
Reid Travis
PF, 6-8, 240
De La Salle (MN)
Committed to Stanford
Outlook: Travis is a savvy post man with a much improved inside-outside game. He embraces contact and brings physicality in the post, but he can also “pop” out for a 15-foot jumper. Excellent rebounder, and he can finish through contact for and-1s.
Travis is not very explosive or athletic, but he’s very strong, and he has calculated footwork to carve out space and score in the post. It’s almost robotic. He can score over either shoulder, with a polished hook shot, drop steps, and simple pump-fakes. An astute offensive player who picks his spots wisely. Double-double machine. Great get for Stanford; unselfish and still very productive.
The next step is showing consistency when facing up. If he can perfect his 15-foot jump shot, he’ll stretch the floor and has a chance to become elite offensively.
-
Joel Berry
PG, 6-0, 185
Lake Highland Prep (FL)
Committed to North Carolina
Outlook: Berry is a poised point guard who calmly surveys the defense then attacks. He has a high basketball IQ, and combined with a tight handle and great body control, he can make plays in the lane. Simply put, Berry is a winner who gets the job done on the high school level.
That said, he lacks size and quickness, and therefore I suspect Berry will struggle against bigger/faster players in college. I like his game management skills, but I still have reservations about his long-term potential. Berry is diminutive, and limited vertically and horizontally. I’m not sold.
-
Tyler Ulis
PG, 5-10, 160
Marian Catholic (IL)
Committed to Kentucky
John Calipari (Head Coach, Kentucky): 859-619-9496
Outlook: Ulis (pronounced “you-liss”) is a pass-first point guard who gets everyone involved while also keeping the defense honest with a consistent mid-range jumper. He pushes the ball in the open court, and has excellent feel to set up teammates in the half court. He has an iffy handle, but he has a quick first step, and he’s capable from mid-range. Ulis had a spectacular Peach Jam, and as a result got the Kentucky offer.
That said, he’s only 5-10 and 165 pounds. Ulis must get stronger to finish offensively, but more importantly to defend in college. I worry about Ulis defensively; average foot speed and anticipation skills, and short arms. He’ll spend at least three years at Kentucky.
