Isiaih Mosley

Mosley is just a few months removed from playing college basketball at Mizzou. The 6-foot-5 guard averaged 9.6 points and 2.5 assists for the Tigers as a senior in 2022-23. He posted 23 points, five assists, and four rebounds in the Show Me Squad’s tournament debut. Mosley is a dynamic offensive player with considerable size at the guard position, and his elusiveness could be a problem for Mass Street’s aging backcourt.

Jontay Porter

A former 5-star recruit, Porter has bounced between the NBA and G-League in recent years. He’s one of the best players in TBT and is capable of many things on the court. Porter dominated Vegas Rebellion in round one, posting a 21-point, 15-rebound double-double and sinking five 3-pointers. He towers over most Mass Street players at 6-foot-11 and can play on the perimeter as well as being able to block shots. Mass Street will have serious trouble containing the 23-year-old.

Erick Neal

After leading the Show Me Squad and hitting the Elam Ender last time out, the little-known Neal will look to replicate his terrific performance. He poured in 24 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the opener. Although he technically never played at Mizzou — he spent four years at UT Arlington — Neal is one of the Show Me Squad’s best players. His ability to get to the rim and create his own shot is dangerous.
