Cactus Classic: Top overall 15U performers
MESA, AZ - Who were the top dogs of the 2022 Cactus Classic over the weekend at Bell Bank Park in the 15 and under division? Our staff dives into the best of the best.
What a weekend for the 6-foot-4 big man from Red Mountain High School (AZ). He was a real problem opposing frontlines. Lindsay is big and strong and present in the paint. He was good as a double-double man throughout the weekend. Lindsay was the best rebounder in the 15U division. He’s so naturally strong for his age group and presented a real challenge. We have him firmly planted on our watch list moving forward in the state of Arizona.
Okay, so we’re seeing a trend here. He’s a point producer at a high level. With two events under his belt now on our HoopSeen platform, he’s the top overall point scorer. At the Cactus Classic, he averaged 30 points a game. Putting the ball in the basket comes easy for him at the 15 and under level. McNeal goes into attack mode and doesn’t relent. - Justin Young
What a big time weekend for the class fo 2026 prospect. He was the toughest player to guard in the 15 and under division of the Cactus Classic. At 6-foot-4, he looks like he has a frame that he’s just starting to get used to as a young hooper. And it would be easy to assume he’ll only get taller and better as he enters into the high school chapters of his playing days. At the Cactus Classic, he was tough inside and effective around the rim. Middlebrook is shifty from the elbows and attacks and finishes well with either hand. Long term, he was the most exciting and interesting prospect in our younger divisions at the Cactus Classic. - Justin Young
