Cameron Holmes, the consensus five-star small forward at 6-foot-6 at  195 lbs is one of the most exciting and highly-coveted prospects in the Class of 2026. Hailing from Millennium High School in Goodyear, Arizona, Holmes has solidified his reputation as a dynamic, versatile scorer with a strong physical foundation and a mature feel for the game.

A Dynamic Two-Way Threat

Holmes is recognized as an effective scorer from all three levels. He possesses a strong frame and the ability to embrace and finish through contact at the rim. His offensive game is marked by his ability to attack downhill and his developing shot-making. Scouts have noted clear shooting progression, making him a threat from beyond the arc (with range extending to the NBA three-point line) and from the mid-range with smooth pull-ups. He is a left-hander with surprisingly great footwork for a guard and is at his best attacking the rim. On the other end of the court, Holmes is trending toward becoming a well-rounded two-way player with untapped defensive upside, thanks to his length and defensive IQ.

The College Transition: What to Expect

Holmes’ game appears well-suited for the college level. His strong frame, which he already possesses in high school, and ability to absorb contact will allow him to compete physically immediately.

• Scoring Versatility: His three-level scoring, especially his developing perimeter shot, will translate to a quick impact. In a college offense, his ability to finish in transition and his steady decision-making as a passer will make him a reliable piece.

• Physicality & Defense: College coaches value his wing size and athleticism. His defensive potential suggests he could become a lockdown defender as he refines his technique against collegiate competition, potentially developing into a two-way player in the mold of a Khris Middleton or Scottie Barnes.

• Areas for Growth: While he is a capable passer, the step up in competition will test his playmaking ability. He may need to continue working on his decision-making in isolation plays, particularly passing out of contested drives.

Summer Performance with Arizona Unity EYBL

Holmes showcased his skills this past summer on the EYBL circuit with Arizona Unity. In 19 games, he averaged 11.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists, while shooting 47.4 percent from the field. This consistent production against top-level national talent is a clear indicator of his readiness for the next stage of his career.

The 2026 Season and Millennium’s Future

With Holmes anchoring the team, Millennium is poised for a strong 2026 season. He is a key member of a talented Arizona Unity program. The presence of other highly-regarded teammates, such as Adan Diggs (Class of 2028) and DJ Spencer (Class of 2027), suggests a bright future for the Millennium program as they aim to be a top team in Arizona under new leadership.
