Malcolm Hunter, Mt. Zion Prep (MD) – Hunter plays with a high IQ and keeps things under control offensively. He makes the right passes and limits mistakes while staying efficient. He’s comfortable stepping into jumpers from three and mid-range, and is looking to land a college spot after missing time this winter with injury.

He’s able to score at multiple levels using his smooth handle and playing with pace.

Ngor Agu, Bridgton Academy (ME) – Agu is a quick, shifty guard who changes speeds well with the ball. He was an underrated contributor for Bridgton this year, and showed just that using his handle to create separation and make plays.
