2027 Standout Shooters at the Bryan Live Period

The PRO16 Finals in Bryan brought the energy, competition, chaos, and many more emotions all weekend long. It was a great experience to witness so many people, fans, players, scouts, and coaches in one spot. Everyone was at the edge of their seat on every court. There were tons of games and I unfortunately could not attend all of them. Here are my standouts from the 2027 class.

Colton Sembower | 6'5 | SG | Team Scoot | SPIRE Academy (FL)

One of the premier two-way wings on the Puma PRO16 circuit, Colton Sembower consistently proved why he's regarded as one of the top shooters in the 2027 class. At 6'5 with a college-ready frame, he spaces the floor at an elite level, knocking down shots with deep range and little hesitation. Sembower seperates himself by being the complete package. He attacks closeouts with purpose, finishes above the rim with authority, and isn't afraid to play through contact. Defensively, he was just as impactful as he was offensively, using his length, physicality, and instincts to disrupt passing lanes. The stat sheet reflected that versatility all weekend. He posted 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 steals in one contest before following it up with another 16-point performance while adding 6 rebounds and an eye-popping 7 steals.Those numbers showcase the type of all-around impact he brings every time he steps on the floor. Currently ranked as the 3rd Best SG in the state of Florida.

Cooper Johnston | 6'0 | G | BYC Elite | Midland Christian (TX)

Cooper Johnston put together one of the more impressive guard performances of the weekend, playing with confidence and producing in some of the biggest games on the schedule. He thrives in an up-tempo system, where his ability to sprint into space, get his feet set in a hurry, and knock down catch-and-shoot threes makes him a constant offensive weapon. His impact extended well beyond his shooting. Johnston consistently pushed the pace, played with tremendous energy, and showed the quickness to create problems on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he used his speed and lateral movement to stay in front of opposing guards, applying pressure on the perimeter and making life difficult for primary ball handlers. Johnston played a key role in BYC Elite earning victories over several top PRO16 programs, including a win over a team featuring a five-star prospect. With numerous college coaches in attendance throughout the weekend, he repeatedly delivered in high-pressure moments.

Adam Gray | 6'2 | PG | Rice Basketball Academy | Perrysburg (OH)

Adam Gray delivered one of the weekend's biggest moments, burying a game-winning buzzer beater from the top of the key with less than a second remaining to cap off a clutch performance. Gray does an excellent job of getting to his spots offensively, using his quick first step and change of pace to create separation. His fearless mentality allows him to attack any matchup, whether it's getting downhill or stepping into a tough jumper without hesitation. Gray never looked rattled and consistently played with the poise of a true floor general. He possesses quick hands that generate turnovers defensively, while his court vision allows him to keep teammates involved and make the right reads.

Parker Theobalds | 6'4 | SG | Rice Basketball Academy | St. John's Jesuit (OH)

Parker Theobalds embodies what college programs look for in a modern shooting guard. Standing 6'4 with good length and a smooth offensive game, he consistently creates advantages without forcing the action. His ability to rise over defenders and score from multiple levels makes him a difficult matchup, while his high basketball IQ allows him to make the right read. Whether attacking closeouts, working into pull-up jumpers, or finding open areas off the ball, he always seems to be in the right position to make a play. Combined with his size, feel for the game, and ability to score efficiently, Theobalds projects as the type of productive, dependable wing who can thrive in a college system.

Ryan Robertson | 6'6 | W | Louisiana Elite | St. Thomas More (LA)

Ryan Robertson proved to be one of the more reliable and productive wings on the floor throughout the weekend. At 6'6, he possesses the size and versatility that college programs desire. Robertson is a legitimate threat from beyond the arc, showcasing a smooth, repeatable release with excellent arc and touch. Robertson understands how to space the floor, consistently putting himself in positions to stretch the defense and create driving lanes for teammates. On the defensive end, Robertson held his own with solid positional defense and a consistent motor. He competed on every possession.

Alex Teahen | 6'6 | W | The Mile Academy | Seven Lakes (TX)

Alex Teahen showcased the complete skill set of a modern two-way wing throughout the weekend. Standing 6'6 with a strong, athletic frame, he consistently found ways to impact the game on both ends of the floor. His feel for the game is one of his biggest strengths, as he has an excellent understanding of how to create scoring opportunities for himself while also recognizing when to set up teammates with the right pass. He shoots the ball with confidence from beyond the arc, is comfortable knocking down mid-range jumpers, and attacks the basket with authority. He embraced tough matchups, using his length, lateral quickness, and physicality to shut down opposing wings.

Thomas Hulefeld | 6'2 | CG | JPSA | Jesuit School of New Orleans (LA)

Thomas Hulefeld closed out the season the same way he played all year: relentless and high producing. The 6'2 combo guard once again showcased why he's one of the more dangerous perimeter shooters on the circuit, consistently stretching defenses with his ability to knock down shots from well beyond the arc. His confidence never wavers, and once he sees one go through, he can pile on points in a hurry. Whether spotting up, coming off screens, or pulling up in transition, he gets into his shooting motion quickly and consistently delivers with a smooth, repeatable release. Hulefeld plays with a high motor and a team-first mentality. He understands spacing, moves well without the basketball, and consistently makes winning plays.
