5 YOUNG BASKETBALL PRODIGIES THAT WILL TAKE OVER THE GAME

14 year olds should not be 6 foot 8 and able to do east bays, windmills, and dunks between the legs off the bounce. 12 year olds should not be 6 foot 8 and able to throw down mean tomahawks and two handers. And 9 year olds definitely should not be receiving division 1 offers. Over the past year, a ton of young hoopers have blown us away with their advanced skills. Basketball is continuing to advance at a rapid rate and the next generation of players is helping give the sport a very promising future. So in this video, I'm going to put you on with five very talented young hoopers that are about to take over the game. Let's get right into it. A 6 foot 9 small forward that has 99 ball handling and hall of fame posterizer would simply be unfair for high school hoops. Well, 15 year old AJ DeBanca fits that criteria and he is about to take the game by storm. I got the chance to watch him play in person at the MSH TV and the T3 TV camp and was blown away by his super advanced game. If I took my eyes off of him at any point, I would have missed a throw down dunk because they were happening every minute. He was connecting on windmills, tomahawks, reverses, putbacks, the list goes on and on. Now don't get me wrong, the dunks were incredible, but once he started to really display his shot creating ability and three point shooting, I was left in utter disbelief. I watched AJ knock down a ton of off the dribble threes. He has a very smooth step back and is not afraid to pull it out on defenders. Just take a look at this play. He does a step back into a half spin step back, which gives him enough separation to get off a triple, which he buries. AJ is going into his first year of high school at St. Sebastian's and I'm expecting a big season out of him. Next up, we got a 6 foot 8 12 year old Eric Dampier Jr. Let me repeat that. Eric Dampier Jr. stands at 6 foot 8 and is only 12. That name might sound familiar because Eric is the son of former NBA big man, Eric Dampier. Eric Dampier Jr. is considered by many as the best player in the class of 2028 and rightfully so. As you probably could have guessed, Eric is a dominant interior player on both ends of the court. On offense, he was getting a bunch of buckets around the rim. Whenever he got loose on a fast break, you better expect a dunk to be thrown down. In one of the made hoops games we were in attendance for, he actually had three dunks in total. That is crazy impressive. And on defense, he simply blocks everything. A rule for any seventh grader going up against Eric is do not attempt to lay up when he is in the paint. A lot of pro basketball players started playing the sport years after the seventh grade. And the fact that Eric is already 6 foot 8 with such an advanced game shows his massive potential. Imagine a 6 foot 8 14 year old whose athleticism is similar to LeBron's. Well, that description fits a guy by the name of Tyron Stokes. Tyron is viewed by many as the number one player in the class of 2026. The combination of his size, athleticism, and ball handling ability creates a nightmare for any defender trying to guard him. I watched Tyron play during the showcase game at the MSHTV camp and he pulled out the impossible with some unreal dunks. This between the legs dunk off the bounce was one of the filthiest in-game highlights I have ever seen. In the other game I watched at the MSHTV camp, Tyron showed just how much of a lob threat he truly is. He connected on 9 total lobs in that one game alone. Tyron is playing at Prolific Prep this season, which is one of the best basketball programs in the country. And as a freshman, he has had a massive impact for the team being a major contributor to their early success. Tyron Stokes is going to be very special. I never would have thought a 9 year old would receive a college offer. Well, the Jolly Twins might have just become the youngest basketball players to ever receive a Division 1 offer. The flashiest, most entertaining, and viral young hoopers. Henry and Ashton Jolly are only 9 years old and are working to become the youngest athletes to sign an NIL deal. And do not get it twisted, this set of twins has some real skills for their age. Both of them can really knock down the three ball. We watched them hit multiple deep threes, a lot of times those shots were off the dribble. They are very good at taking it to the rim as well. I mean take a look at this hop step through traffic. And this very difficult reverse lay. But my favorite part about the Jolly Boys is their 7 year old younger brother Hunter who looks just like them. And he has some skills as well. According to their father, the Jolly Twins received their first Division 1 offer this past month from Bryant University. And if I had to guess, this will be the first offer of many for the Jollys. To finish things off, let me introduce you to the most skilled 12 year old big man you will ever see. Jordan Fisher. Any 7th grader that stands at 6 foot 5 is expected to be a monster inside player. And Jordan is exactly that. But someone at his age and size is not expected to have footwork, ball handling, and shooting abilities as advanced as him. On this play, he hit his defender with a crossover and then did a spin move to get open for a floater. That is tough. A lot of times, Jordan was the guy bringing up the ball for his team and it seemed effortless for him to blow by defenders for easy buckets. I also got the chance to watch him play at the Made Hoopsies circuit and he put on a show once again. His rebounding is what really stood out to me in that game. He was finding his teammates for open looks off of defensive boards and was cleaning up missed shots on the offensive end. Plus, he actually hit a game winning layup. The basketball world better watch out for this kid. If you enjoyed this video, make sure to check out the one we did on Brawny James. In that video, I do a breakdown on his game, talk about his college recruitment, and answer the big question of do I think he has what it takes to make it in the NBA. Thank you all so much for the constant support. We will see you in the next one.
