Future Stars Camp: Top Wings
2019 Trey Hutcheson, 6’5 SF (Linn-Mar)
As soon as we walked into the Clarke University gym, Hutcheson stood out. We got there for the latter half of the skills segment, and this good-sized wing was dropping everything with a butter stoke at the shooting station. He’s fluid and smooth with his jumper, and it carried over to live game play. He looks like a Division I wing.
2020 Campbell Mitvalsky, 6’3 SF (CR Washington)
One of the better surprises of the day, this freshman did not get a lot of varsity exposure this past winter, but could be a standout with the Warriors as soon as next season. He showcased a very effective mid-range jumper, with excellent elevation. And his length and height allow for him to get off the shot off at will.
2019 Dylan Jones, 6’7 SF (Waukee)
He was flashing his versatility very well on Saturday, and in one game went dunk, 3-ball, and mid-range all in a short span. His length is one of his best assets and he was one of the only guys in camp who was able to contain West Delaware big Derek Krogmann. Jones will have a lot of jams and block a lot of shots the next two seasons at Waukee.
2019 Tymon Vesey, 6’1 SF (Davenport North)
A big-bodied wing who has a knack for making tough shots. He uses his girth to body taller opponents inside the perimeter, and has the handle and shot-making ability to score effectively at all three levels, but particularly near the rim.
2020 Preston Kelling, 6’3 SG (Ankeny Centennial)
Good size with a sharpshooting ability to pair, this young gunner hit five triples in one game and gained a reputation throughout the day as one of the camp’s best spot-up shooters. It will be interesting to see how he might fit in with a stable of talented guards next season at Centennial.
2018 Keith Johnson, 6’4 SF (Hempstead)
We knew this guy would be on the list, and he was nothing less of his usual extraordinary self on Saturday. He was aggressively seeking the ball outside of the perimeter, and it looks as though his ball-handling has come a long way since last summer. His jumper was fluid and when he missed it wasn’t buy much. Also one of the best leapers at the camp (maybe the best), Johnson is truly one of Iowa’s most versatile threats.
2021 TJ Bollers, 6’3 F (Clear Creek-Amana)
His dad played in the NFL for a decade with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and TJ got his build from him. An eighth-grader but already physically imposing, Bollers was comfortably posting up smaller guys in the paint and is developing on the perimeter. The Iowa Barnstormers product could make a nice impact with the varsity next season as a freshman.
2019 Dom Robertson, 6’1 G/F (Oelwein)
For the second straight weekend this Oelwein sophomore was utterly impressive. He’s not the tallest, but his great length more that makes up for that. He’s a flat-out playmaker, and seemingly every positive play on the the floor stems from something he did. He shoots is OK, and he’s able to create separation exquisitely with some handle and a nice step-back. The future is bright for Robertson.
2021 Brayden Dailey, 6’5 G/F (Mineral Point, WI)
Just an eighth-grader, this Wisconsin product is already tall enough to make his presence felt in a variety of ways, and adds some nice length to boot. He was — at times — one of the best shooters at the camp, and though he’ll need to add strength to make a fuller impact, the ceiling is certainly very high Dailey.
