Overtime Elite: Standout Prospects to Monitor

Overtime Elite remains a fantastic pathway for players to achieve their basketball dreams and ultimately make it to the NBA. In its third season of action, OTE now has eight teams that play within the league. Three of these teams are in-house at the Atlanta headquarters full time, while five other affiliate schools play in the league as well. It's a different experience for the players that are full-time in the system at the Overtime Elite facility, but there's perks for the other five teams as well.

• City Reapers

• Cold Hearts

• RWE

• Blue Checks - Combine Academy

• Jelly Fam - Our Savior Lutheran School

• Rolling Loud - Southern California Academy

• Diamond Daves - Phoenix Prep

• YNG Dreamerz - Moravian Prep

While nearly every player in the OTE league is an elite prospect, here’s the shortlist of names to keep an eye on at this point in the season across the eight teams.

Draft Eligible

Nathan Missia-Dio

Having the experience of playing several preseason games against NBA teams earlier this year, Missia-Dio is a long forward with tremendous upside on both ends.

Reynan dos Santo

With an NBA-ready frame, the defensive-minded prospect is one of the more underrated prospects ahead of the 2024 NBA Draft.

2024 High School Class

Karter Knox

A top-20 prospect in this high school class, Knox is the younger brother of former lottery pick Kevin Knox and is one of the top players that has yet to choose where he will play his college ball. 

Somto Cyril

Kentucky has yet another dominant big joining its roster next season as Cyril brings a strong frame and rim protection.

Kanon Catchings

A 6-foot-6 wing with untapped potential, Catchings will play at Purdue next season following his time at OTE.

John Bol

At 7-foot-1, Bol has a slender frame but is extremely skilled for his size and his committed to Ole Miss. 

Jaeden Mustaf

With the ability to pass or score with ease, Mustafa will be a tremendous asset at Georgia Tech next season.

Jahki Howard

An elite athlete, Howard should have a chance to play even as a freshman at Auburn next season.

Rakease Passmore

Headed to Kansas next season to play for the Jayhawks, Passmore is one of the most exciting players in the entire league.

Nassir Cunningham

An Alabama commit, Cunningham has great positional size and an NBA-level skillset.

Ian Jackson

The North Carolina commit can play a variety of positions at 6-foot-4 and is one of the 20 best players in his class.

Darrion Sutton

Although he needs to get stronger, Sutton is a long wing with a ton of upside. 

2025 High School Class

Bryson Tiller

Arguably a top-five player in his class, Tiller should be primed for whatever his next step is after Overtime Elite.

Tyler Jackson

Although undersized, Jackson is a top-20 player in 2025 and has phenomenal vision.

Mikel Brown

The four-star point guard is incredibly talented and has looked great at Overtime Elite this season.

Efeosa Oliogu

A four-star wing from Ontario, Oliogu has the chance to improve this season before choosing what his next chapter will be beyond OTE.

Eli Ellis

Currently the league's leading scorer, Ellis is averaging 35 points per game and has already committed to South Carolina.
