Gavin Placide continues to impress — moving this well at 6’10” is rare. With the ability to push the break in transition and showcase a complete post and perimeter game, this young man has a long career ahead. A big reason why FlightAAO is an early-season favorite to win it all.

Yaxel Lendeborg has been dominant on both ends to start the season. Offensively, he’s expanded his role, showcasing improved shooting and playmaking. Defensively, he remains one of the A-10’s best, aiming for back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year honors.

Brooks Barnhizer is an intriguing 6’6” prospect who has thrived as a primary ball handler this season. Projecting as a secondary playmaker at the next level, he boasts an AST% of 22.7%, a low TOV% of 9.3%, and a 2.1 AST/TO ratio, making him a valuable connective wing option.

Trevor Baskin, a 6’9” athletic forward for Colorado, has shined defensively this season, with 24 stocks in 12 games. As he adjusts offensively, his disruptive play and upside make him a name to watch.

A 4-star prospect from Louisiana, Kam Williams has made an instant impact for Tulane in his freshman season. Through 9 games, the 6’8” guard/forward is averaging 10.3 PPG (47.2/39.6/80), 4.9 RPG, and 3.3 stocks, showcasing his versatility and ability to contribute on both ends of the floor.

Don’t sleep on Josh Harris (@JoshHarris2024). The 6’8” freshman is shining early for North Florida, averaging 14.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.6 stocks on efficient splits (60.8/55.6/71.4). With his two-way play and versatility, he’s a name to watch, especially if he enters the transfer portal.

Geronimo Rubio De La Rosa is off to a strong start, averaging 21.4 PPG on elite splits: 56% FG, 50.8% 3PT, and 90.5% FT. A marquee scorer in the Ivy League, he looks to lead the Lions through a tough conference schedule.

Sebastian Hartmann (@Sebastian_21_H), a 6’5” product of the Bayern Munich system now at Eastern Washington, is an elite off-ball threat. He ranks in the 96th percentile in all possessions (PPP 1.254) and 97th on jump shots (PPP 1.45), shooting 57.1% from the field and 48.3% from three this season.

Cruz Davis is a rising star for @HofstraMBB. After stops at Iona and St. John’s with Coach Pitino, he’s thriving at Hofstra, ranking in the 99th percentile in isolation scoring. A sophomore with elite combo moves, he’s set to draw attention, possibly eyeing a return to the Power 5.

John Tonje has been on a tear to start the season, leading the charge for the Badgers as they kick off the year 8-0. He’s emerged as one of the top offensive threats in the country, averaging 22.9 points per game on stellar shooting splits of 52.7/42.1/94.5. #Badgers

JoJo Tugler already has such translatable defensive skills! I think he could be draft-able if he keeps up his performance!

Adama Bal’s evolution is impressive: from a spot-up shooter at Arizona to a primary initiator with Santa Clara. At 6’6”, he’s got wing size, guard handles, and playmaking flair. If his 3PT shot develops, he’s got serious draft potential. A versatile prospect to watch! #NBAProspect
