Thomas Spinelli | 6’0” | TN
Spinelli plays basketball with the understanding that every winning possession does not have to end with his own shot. He competes hard, makes the extra pass, and consistently handles the small responsibilities that keep a team functioning. If the right play is scoring it himself, he will take it, and if the right play creates a basket for someone else, he is just as comfortable doing that. Spinelli’s willingness to prioritize the result over the stat sheet is a winning trait.

Mikael Hilliard | 6’0” | NC
Hilliard understands how to generate offense without pounding the basketball. He moves intelligently away from the ball, finds open windows, and arrives ready to shoot when teammates find him. His catch and shoot ability is complemented by good instincts that keep him involved in the action. Hilliard’s movement and awareness make him the type of shooter who can punish a defense for losing sight of him.

Yusef Nalayeh | 6’1” | GA
Nalayeh does not need much time or space to make a defense pay from behind the arc. His trigger is quick, the mechanics are clean, and the basketball comes off his hand with a consistent stroke. Once he strings together a couple makes, he can light the scoreboard up in a hurry. His shooting gravity alone forces defenses to adjust how they guard the floor.

Grayson Howard | 6’1” | GA
Howard is comfortable rising into his jumper whenever the defense gives him daylight. Whether operating in the midrange or stretching beyond the arc, he has confidence in his ability to make shots. More importantly, he has a good feel for when those opportunities are available instead of forcing contested looks. That combination of feel and shot making gives Howard a solid offensive foundation.

Devin Jones | 6’1” | FL
Jones brings the physicality of a dual sport athlete onto the basketball court. His strength becomes a real advantage when he turns the corner, allowing him to slash through contact rather than avoiding it. You can see the football background in his balance, power, and direct approach attacking space. Jones uses those traits with precision and gives defenders a physical matchup every time he goes downhill.

Josiah Dempsey | 6’2” | GA
Dempsey’s stock is soaring, and his Elite60 performance gave it another boost. The lefty earned Most Outstanding Player honors among the Top 20 after showcasing a complete offensive package as a three level scorer. He can comfortably operate at either guard spot, creating his own offense at the 2 or taking control of possessions as a facilitator at the 1. His passing continues to sharpen, and he consistently delivers the ball where teammates can immediately make their next play. Dempsey is trending toward legitimate top 5 territory in the 2031 class.

Jax Teal | 6’2” | GA
Teal made his shooting reputation official by walking away as the Elite60 Three Point Champion. His range forces defenders to locate him early, because waiting until he reaches the traditional three point line is already too late. He can play fast and attack downhill while maintaining control, which prevents defenders from simply running him off the arc. Around the basket, Teal brings craft and touch to finish plays in different ways. His combination of efficiency, range, and offensive versatility made him one of the showcase’s toughest covers.

TK Ross | 6’2” | GA
Ross keeps giving people reasons to include his name in bigger conversations surrounding 2031. He is a natural scorer with the athletic ability to create advantages and the skill to capitalize from all three levels. There is confidence in the way he hunts buckets without looking overwhelmed by the stage. Elite60 was another opportunity for Ross to prove his production belongs against high level competition.

Christian Williams | 6’2” | GA
Williams is becoming increasingly difficult to scheme against because his scoring extends across all three levels. The midrange is where he can be especially lethal, finding pockets of space and converting with confidence. His value is not limited to getting buckets, as he has the versatility to accept different defensive assignments. Williams continues building a well rounded game with tools that translate to both ends.

Nasir Fernandes | 6’2” | GA
Fernandes wasted little time announcing himself every time he stepped between the lines. He scored from different areas of the floor, found his rhythm early, and continued applying pressure once he had it going. His offensive production made him one of the more difficult players to contain in his group. Fernandes ultimately earned Most Outstanding Player among the Top 60, validating the impact he made throughout the showcase.
