2021: Big Shots Nationals – Part 2

<p>Prep Hoops takes a look at some 2021 Palmetto State who were in attendance this past weekend at Big Shots Nationals in Rock Hill, SC. The 2021 Palmetto State is a very talented class and these players just add more quality to that list. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="569888" first="James" last="Cooper"] - Mauldin HS - Big Shots CPA SC 2022 (pictured on the front)</strong></p> <p>Cooper has really filled out his frame and has added good weight to his body. Cooper is a very versatile player for the Mavericks as he can play-inside out on the floor. Cooper can step-out and knockdown the 17-19 footer or play around the rim. Cooper started off his career at Greenville Tech before heading over to the Mavericks last season. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/FE1B8A62-A230-4295-B0E3-F888F2841DD7.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1019069" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/FE1B8A62-A230-4295-B0E3-F888F2841DD7-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="569913" first="Earl" last="Burgess"] - Dorman HS - Upward Stars SE Select </strong></p> <p>Burgess can play the game inside-out on the floor. Burgess can step-out on the perimeter and hit shots or drive the ball to the basket at times from the top of the key.  Burgess rebounds the ball very well on both ends of the floor. Burgess is a very coachable player and seems to soak everything in while on the floor. Burgess will provide senior leadership for the Cavaliers this coming season and a quest for a 5th straight Class 5A State Championship. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/36E02FE8-C27C-40BF-8523-FBE31FCAA039.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1020919" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/36E02FE8-C27C-40BF-8523-FBE31FCAA039-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="976952" first="Amarion" last="Turner"] - Legion Collegiate - Team Synergy 2021 </strong></p> <p>Turner has great elevation on his shot. Turner a sharp shooting guard was able to connect on some pull mid-range jumpers. Turner has a quick shot release. and always seemed to be shot ready to receive the ball. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/7D55A90F-C46A-44CE-A5E0-9F06C9895ED7.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1020922" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/7D55A90F-C46A-44CE-A5E0-9F06C9895ED7-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="840221" first="Quez" last="Lewis"] - Johnsonville HS - Big Shots Select 17U</strong></p> <p>Lewis a point guard really can get the team into the offense with his unselfish play. Lewis connected on some open looks today when he wasn't playing pesky defense. Lewis is small in height but not in heart that's for sure. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/FDB01A7E-EC37-40A9-ADBE-B2D35C73E184.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1020917" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/FDB01A7E-EC37-40A9-ADBE-B2D35C73E184-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="747012" first="Tre" last="Gasque"] - Andrews HS - Big Shots</strong> <strong>Select 17U</strong></p> <p>Gasque joined this team this past weekend and it showed dividends for him. Gasque a athletic rangy guard was able to get the ball to the basket with his great length. Gasque was able to get to the foul line a good amount of times this past weekend.</p>
