Scout Report
The Magic City is producing another promising floor general who's already made his college decision ahead of schedule.
Background
Mason Fuentes honed his craft in Miami's competitive basketball landscape before making the move to Riviera Preparatory School. The 6-foot-2 point guard has navigated the demanding prep school circuit while establishing himself as a legitimate Division I prospect. His development has accelerated alongside elite teammates including highly-ranked 2027 prospects Myles Fuentes, Quincy Douby Jr., and JJ Watts at Riviera Prep.
Playing Style
Fuentes possesses the ideal size for a modern point guard at 6-2, allowing him to see over defenses and create mismatches in the backcourt. His court vision and basketball IQ stand out as his primary weapons, consistently finding teammates in advantageous positions while managing tempo effectively. The Miami native shows solid decision-making with the ball in his hands and demonstrates the ability to facilitate offense at multiple levels. While his leadership qualities continue developing, Fuentes projects as a steady floor general who can contribute immediately at the college level.
Recruitment
Despite holding 10 Division I offers from programs including Oklahoma State, Wake Forest, Miami, and South Florida, Fuentes committed early to Stetson. His national ranking of #164 in the 2026 class reflects solid but not elite status, suggesting room for continued development. The early commitment to Stetson indicates he values opportunity and fit over prestige, positioning himself for immediate playing time in a program where he can grow into a primary facilitator.
