2025 Signature Event: Underclass Elite
The laser show during BP continued into the games in Houston for Switzenberg, who delivered multiple knocks during our Underclass Combine to be one of the first on the list of invites to the Underclass Elite. Headed to his second straight signature event after his appearance in last year’s Underclass Premier, Switzenberg is a physical specimen who will only gain power as his frame continues to fill out. He ran a 6.9 60 in Houston, remains very athletic for his size and impressed scouts with his ability to consistently barrel balls up.
