NXT Pro 16 Session 9 Standouts - Part 1 - NXTPRO Hoops nxtprohoops.com/pro16-nxt/nxt-…

'Oklahoma' | TeamUtah

Team Utah 15u runs 'Oklahoma' which the Timberwolves ran 2 nights ago for Naz Reid. Double drag screen followed by a pin for the 1st screener. Good extra pass here by Jrue Miller once the defense puts 2 on the ball.

Albert Philippe is one of the most underrated defensive backcourt players in our circuit. The 6’5 CG will be able to guard the 1-3 positions collegiately, and can successfully guard 1-4 at the HS level. Can jump out of the gym with excellent lateral quickness.

2025 6’4 G JJ Apathjang is NICE‼️

Has been extremely consistent in scoring production this weekend, using pace change and a tough step back to lead his team in scoring. Impressive speed in transition and difficult shot making.

TeamUtah | 'Veer' Action

'Veer': Ball screen followed by an off-ball screen.

'27 Malakai Tobler has been a rock thus far. Consistently making great decisions out of PnR. Knocked down a few 3s. Manipulating defenders with his tight crossover and making timely kick outs

Haven’t seen an off the dribble shooter quite as impressive as JJ Apathjang in NXT. Has tallied 20+ with 8:30 left in the second half, and has willed his team back from being down 15, to a tie game. Keep an eye on this 6’4 2025 prospect.

2025 6’4 G JJ Apathjang has been fun to watch all year long. Holds a number of division one offers already.

Has ability to handle ball pressure and initiate offense. ++ wingspan and shooting gravity OTD. Really big time prospect.

TeamUtah | PRO16/NXT League | JJ Apathjang

2025 6’5 CG Albert Philippe Ntungicimpaye is just scratching the surface of his upside.

Shot it well from 3PT range, took defenders off the dribble with his handle. Defends at a super high level with his physical tools, lateral movement and anticipation.

JJ is getting HOT in Phoenix!! 🔥🚀 JJ Apathjang

2025 guard JJ Apathjang is making full use of his 6'4 frame, attacking the rim and stepping out behind the arc. Defensively, he uses his length to block or alter shots.

'25 JJ Apathjang had his way this evening. Creating for himself and others from multiple levels. Off the dribble shooting was on full display. Not sure if the pass in the first clip was on purpose, but was ridiculous, nonetheless.

'26 Jordan Oberholtzer has some sneaky shift to him. His wiggle and pace along with his effective counters allows him to get downhill. Really good finisher when he leaves his feet.

6’10 ‘25 Guystone Kasenga oozes with upside and potential. Mobile, athletic forward who rebounds, runs the floor, blocks shots and dunks everything around the basket. Very intriguing prospect with a ton of potential.
