Great stuff as always from John. Lists Aaron Nkrumah as a combine winner! @aaronx_15
John Fanta@John_Fanta

My biggest combine winners from today’s scrimmages: • Ryan Conwell. Thought he was phenomenal at getting to his spots, making some tough shots and generating pace. Microwave type of scorer with 2nd round value. • Matt Able. He is physically gifted for his age, can take contact and score plus showed off his range and was solid on defense. I love this kid’s upside whether he goes to UNC or stays in draft. If he’s with Michael Malone, oh man. Tar Heels cashing IN! • Ja’Kobi Gillespie. Showed his second round value with quality shot technique and making the defense move. He really helped himself these last two days. Has improved his creation skills. • Dillon Mitchell. The Swiss Army Knife out of St. John’s is a specimen athletically. Doesn’t need the ball to impact the game. Long defender, high level rebounder and had a variety of dunks today. There’s a place for him on a roster. • Aaron Nkrumah. From D3 Worcester State to Tennessee State to the G League Combine to the Draft Combine. Solid shot form, very active hands defensively, disruptive too and at 6-6, good enough size that gives him second round value. • Nick Boyd. He plays with swagger and it led to results in scrimmages. Boyd has developed a wide array of skills on offense that’s allowed him to become a really crafty scorer. Plucky on D today as well. • Tarris Reed. The UConn product has really shown his physicality and improvement around the rim this week. Think he could be a first round pick. Controlled the paint for a wide portion of his game. • Otega Oweh. The Kentucky product can fill it up with a wide array of skills and showed things that have to intrigue front offices for a second round pick.

NEWS: 2026 6’10” C Kaleb Davis from Houston HS (Memphis, TN) has now heard from these programs since Monday, his agency @SportsNetLLC tells me: NC State Villanova Seton Hall Texas A&M UAB UT Arlington In addition to Virginia Tech, Charlotte, La Salle + others 📈 Davis’ 7’3” wingspan + defensive instincts allow for him to be an elite rim protector and make an immediate defensive impact next season (2nd in 3SSB in BLKs). Still raw on the offensive end (impact limited to mainly PNRs), but as an incoming freshman, he has time to make strides in that aspect of his game. Would be a great developmental big for any HM+ programs looking for depth and will make an immediate impact next season for any MMs/LMs still looking for bigs. He will be playing with @TeamThadNation 17Us this weekend in Memphis. Attached is his schedule.

NEWS: 2026 6’10” Houston HS (Memphis, TN) C Kaleb Davis just picked up an offer from Virginia Tech and Charlotte, his agency @SportsNetLLC tells me. 6’10” w/ 7’3” wingspan. Elite rim protector (2.9 BLKs per game, 2nd in 3SSB). High motor. Virginia Tech, Charlotte, La Salle, Arkansas State, UAB, SEMO, + others are currently involved. As the transfer portal dries up + teams look to add depth bigs, Kaleb Davis is a no brainer add imo. High character kid. He will be playing with @TeamThadNation 17U in this upcoming EYBL live session and looks to make a decision soon.

Brandon Weston (@BWest233) is going to be a steal for Southern Miss. Could’ve absolutely gone a level higher if it wasn’t for missing the entire past season. Blend of athleticism, size, and shooting. Should be an all conference guy in the Sun Belt.

Really cool to see this report from HH. Exactly what we were discussing a couple of days ago in regards to signing developmental high school kids vs. developmental college kids. Kaleb is definitely a player I’d take a flyer on.

Former Tennessee State wing Aaron Nkrumah has been invited to the G League Elite Camp, sources told @ClutchPoints. Nkrumah averaged 17.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.8 steals per game this past season. He will be an intriguing wing for scouts to evaluate.
