<p>Prep Hoops takes a look at some players who made the trip down to the Palmetto State this weekend to play at Big Shots Carolina Finale. The event was being played in North Charleston, SC. Lets take a look at some 2021 players in attendance along with a 2023 player. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="793128" first="William" last="Henderson"] - Life Christian (Richmond) - Big Shots Elite West Virginia (pictured on the front) </strong></p> <p>Henderson 6’10 now is a run-jump-athlete. Henderson really likes to handle the rock in the open floor and has no problems finishing above the rim with his play. Henderson has great guard skills for a big man his size. Henderson has received interest from Wake Forest and Boston College as of late. </p> [caption id="attachment_1024108" align="alignnone" width="300"]<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/27D16109-15CE-49DE-B741-5329BC2BC91A.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1024108" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/27D16109-15CE-49DE-B741-5329BC2BC91A-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> [player_tooltip player_id="798737" first="Jalen" last="Leftwich"] #3[/caption] <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="798737" first="Jalen" last="Leftwich"] - Liberty Christian Academy (Lynchburg) - Big Shots Elite Tri Cities 17</strong></p> <p>Leftwich is extremely active with his play on the floor. Leftwich can defend multiple positions and seems to be best when attacking the basket. Leftwich finishes everything around the cup. Leftwich rebounds the ball very well from his position. Leftwich has very strong academics in the classroom and has heard from Army West Point, Citadel, Lehigh and VMI. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/72C73C5E-8626-473C-BF5D-A731C36E32BF.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1024104" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/72C73C5E-8626-473C-BF5D-A731C36E32BF-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="957910" first="Kylon" last="Lewis"] -  Thomas Dale HS (Chester) - Big Shots Elite West Virginia </strong></p> <p>Lewis a left-handed guard really thrives in the transition game. Lewis has great length and plays the game above the rim at times. Lewis has the ability to finish on the drive to the cup and on contact. Lewis was a All-State Performer this past season. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="798748" first="Zach" last="Rosenthal"] - The Steward School (Richmond) - Big Shots Elite West Virginia </strong></p> <p>Rosenthal a left-handed shooting guard won’t overwhelm you with athleticism. Rosenthal is smart with his shot taking and seems to be a productive shooter. Rosenthal likes to play a lot on the left side of the floor and especially in the corners. Rosenthal is a player that can’t be left open on the floor with his ability to knockdown shots. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/EA19EC34-47D7-49A9-9332-E69E90F6988B.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1024106" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/EA19EC34-47D7-49A9-9332-E69E90F6988B-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>Evan Ramsey (2023) - Abingdon HS - Big Shots Tri-Cities 15U </strong></p> <p>Ramsey 6’10 was a pleasant surprise here in Chuck Town today. Ramsey has great length and size and tends to still be growing. Ramsey was able to alter and challenge shots in the paint. Ramsey works it from block to block and can connect on the elbow jumper. Ramsey still must get stronger but with being a 2023 player he still has plenty of time. Ramsey averaged 6.1 ppg, 5.5 rebounds and 2 blocks this past season for the Falcons. </p>
