Pride of Maryland Team Camp Standouts (Part 2)
In part 2 of 3, we take a look at the players who stood out from the Pride of Maryland Team Camp this past Saturday at Stevenson University. For part one, click here.
Eric Turner | 6-5 | Milford Mill | 2018
Turner is a great athlete with a college-ready body. Physically, he looks a lot older and more filled out than a typical rising senior. With that being said, Turner’s strength is finishing around the rim both in the halfcourt and transition. He can finish above the rim or absorb contact and finish the play. This weekend he was particularly active defensively. His efforts didn’t result in many steals, but he made sure to pressure the ball from 90+ feet. Milford Mill is a team that loves to press. Turner’s anticipation and athleticism worked well in forcing bad passes that resulted in turnovers.
Ahmad Harrison | 6’1 | Gerstell Academy | 2021
Harrison will be one of the handful of extremely talented freshman in the Baltimore area. His pace and instincts do not reflect his age whatsoever. The smooth lefty hit a few jumpers throughout the day, but most of his buckets were coming from taking his match up off the dribble. Gerstell was missing a number of key starters, so Harrison was expected to lead the way and he did a nice job of doing so.
Tristan Price | 5’11 | Seneca Valley | 2018
I came into Saturday not knowing who Tristan Price was, but it didn’t take long to realize he may be one of the shiftiest guards in the state. He only played one game because he was nursing an ankle injury. And though he didn’t light up the stat sheet, he made his presence known immediately. Price wasn’t afraid to attack the rim amongst the big men and draw fouls. In fact, he visited the line six times throughout a 10-minute period. The coaching staff wanted to be cautious with Price’s ankle and rightfully so. The little bit of action he did have was impressive.
Jalen Parker | 6-5 | Milford Mill | 2019
This standout series will feature a number of Milford Mill players. After winning all three games by large margins, it’s difficult not to include a lot of them. For Parker, he showcased his smooth game by being a lethal catch-and-shoot threat from the outside. He found himself often the beneficiary of point guard Ahmed Milton’s kick-out passes after getting into the paint. Parker was able to knock them down at an efficient rate. The lanky 6-5 wing also had a presence on the glass. While he isn’t an elite athlete, Parker possess good timing to go with long arms that helps him corral a ton of rebounds when he sets his mind to it.
