Aden Holloway (2023) 4-star; No. 39 overall | 6-0, 155-pound PG

There’s not much to Aden Hollaway at 6-foot, 155 pounds, but he’s got a quick, tight handle with a confident shooting stroke. The four-star guard has the ball on a string and sliced through defenders to set up clean looks. He had 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3PT), three rebounds and two assists in game one, then had 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3PT), three rebounds and two assists in game two.

He’s got his flaws, but it was a strong all-around outing for the Matthews, NC native.

Isaiah Miranda (2023) 4-star; No. 24 overall | 7-0, 200-pound C

The 7-foot center is quite possibly the most erratic player in the rising senior class. Isaiah Miranda takes bad shots and commits unnecessary turnovers and fouls. On the flip side, though, he’s unbelievably talented with all of the physical tools you could ask for in a high-major recruit. Those tools were on display to open the day Monday, finishing with a team-high 27 points on an absurd 10-13 from the field and 5-7 from three to go with six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 28 minutes. He followed it up with nine points (4-10 FG), five rebounds and a steal in the afternoon session of games.

There’s so much to like about Miranda and his ceiling is clear, as shown in game one. Now it’s about finding consistency and putting together long stretches of production while reeling in the bad shots and turnovers.

AJ Johnson (2023) NR | 6-5, 170-pound PG

It’s time to start the conversation of AJ Johnson not only earning five-star status, but approaching top 15 territory. The 6-foot-6 guard thrived on day one before exploding on day two, dazzling onlookers with his advanced dribble moves to set up crafty finishes and ferocious dunks at the rim. He went for 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3PT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 28 minutes in game one before finishing with 19 points (9-10 FG, 1-1 3PT), three rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes in game two.

Johnson needs to add muscle at 160 pounds, but he’s still able to turn the corner and get to his spots thanks to his quickness and long strides. It’s hard to find a player with more upside in the entire gym, and the rankings will soon reflect that.

Tru Washington (2023) NR | 6-3, 175-pound SG

Technically the uncle of former Kentucky point guard TyTy Washington (no, I’m not lying…), Tru Washington exploded in his first game of day two for Team Arizona. He was nearly unstoppable getting to the rim, recording 25 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks on 10-17 shooting, including a surprising 2-3 mark from beyond the arc. He followed that up with 20 points and five rebounds on 9-13 shooting in game two of the day. While he’s not ranked by On3, he’s considered a borderline top 100 prospect and made a case to be ranked higher. We’ll admit that the defensive effort from both teams wasn’t exactly high-intensity, but there was no denying Washington’s determination to get himself to the rim and finish against contact.

Amier Ali (2024) 4-star; No. 23 overall | 6-8, 175-pound SF

Amier Ali put on a shooting clinic in his day two opening game for Team Stanford in what was arguably the top individual outing of the camp so far. The rising junior finished with 30 points on seven made triples — taking and making absurd shots from all over the floor — to go along with nine rebounds and six assists. His impressive shot-making has him ranked among On3’s top 25 prospects from the ’24 class, and it was on full display Monday. That being said, his other two games of the event did not live up to the same billing. But when he’s on, Ali is one of the top shooters in high school, regardless of age. Kentucky is showing some serious interest in the multi-level scorer.

Styles Phipps (2024) 4-star; No. 43 overall | 6-2, 175-pound PG

The stock for Styles Phipps should rise rather quickly following an impressive beginning to the camp, and the majority of media folks in attendance agree. He’s been one of the better on-ball guards at the event, seeing the floor at a high level. Phipps was magnificent in the first game on Monday, finishing with 16 points, five rebounds, four assists, and seven steals on 7-14 shooting. While he might not be the full 6-foot-2 he’s listed at, his craftiness on the defensive end helps make up for it. There haven’t been many players in Vegas with the overall awareness of Phipps.
