While in Georgia for Session 1 of Nike EYBL, I had the chance to catch up with one of the weekend’s most intriguing prospects: Lewis Uvwo.

The rising big man talked about his transition to life in the United States, the development he’s getting at Prolific Prep, building confidence in his game, and much more!

Antoine Caughman Jr - 6'4 Guard - 2028 @AntoineCaughman

Really impressed with the growth Caughman Jr has shown as an on-ball creator over the past year. He’s starting to consistently blend his size and athletic ability with perimeter shooting, shooting 38% from three on 9.4 attempts per game while still playing with an aggressive downhill mindset.

3SSB Stats from sessions 1 & 2:
22.3 PPG | 6.3 RPG | 1.7 APG | 2.4 SPG | 53.2 TS%

His ability to convert contested shots has really started to raise his offensive ceiling. Defenses are now forced to close out harder, which has opened up more driving lanes for him to attack gaps, finish through contact, or find teammates.

Antoine should be firmly in the mix for top 10 in the '28 class after this summer.

Jordan McDaniel - 5'10 PG - 2029 @TheFamily_bball

McDaniel puts defenses in constant conflict with his ability to create separation, knock down shots from deep, and finish through traffic. Once he touches the paint he does a great job of reading rotations and either scoring over length or finding open teammates.

EYBL Sessions 1 and 2 averages:
27.0 PPG | 5.3 RPG | 4.7 APG | 3.5 SPG | 60.6 TS%

Jordan also competes at a high level and shows strong defensive IQ beyond just on-ball pressure. He is active in rotations, provides timely help defense, and creates turnovers that lead to easy transition opportunities.

Easily one of the top guards in the '29 class right now.

Last weekend in Tulsa we played hard and good. 3-1 Team Hali WE'RE LOCKED IN! A few of my highlights.

@IamFR5 I appreciate the kind words! The work is showing from DNA to CPSA. Y’all got one💯

[CaliFrank @IamFR5]

Appreciate you taking the time to show everyone what King is about! Your analysis is spot on!

[Chase Johnson @TheScoutLab]

King Rachel - 6'7 Forward - Class of 2027 @TeamCPSA

First live viewing of King this summer and was highly impressed with the intensity and activity level he plays with. He is a reliable floor spacer, hitting 39% from three on 5.6 attempts per game, while also being a dangerous finisher when attacking gaps or playing off others.

PRO16 Through 5 Games:
17.6 PPG | 7.0 RPG | 1.1 APG | 1.6 SPG | 71.4 TS%

The rebounding motor and explosiveness around the rim really stand out though. Averaging 3.6 offensive rebounds per game, he consistently wins second chance opportunities because of how quickly he gets off the floor on his second jump.

Rachel also brings real defensive versatility with the ability to switch across multiple positions, disrupt passing lanes, and pressure opposing guards full court.

A real riser in the 2027 class.

Micah Gunter| 6'3 Combo Guard | Class of 2028 | @MicahGunter8

Micah has been in complete command over Team United's offense and has played with a pace and confidence that constantly keeps defenders off balance. He's been comfortable operating at his own pace, getting downhill, and scoring from all 3 levels.

EYBL Sessions 1 & 2 stats:
20.4 PPG | 5.5 APG | 3.8 RPG | 2.8 SPG | 61.6 TS% | 56.4 EFG%

The growth in his floor game has really popped. He’s consistently finding shooters in rhythm, reading secondary defenders quicker, and creating easy offense for his teammates.

Defensively he’s been just as disruptive, with active hands and strong anticipation in passing lanes. Love the growth he has shown from HS ball to now.
