2022: Big Shots Nationals

<p>Prep Hoops saw plenty of great action from the Big Shots Nationals in Rock Hill, SC this past weekend. Lets take a look at just some of the 2022 Palmetto State players in attendance right here. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="650215" first="Jazian" last="Gortman"] - Keenan HS - Palmetto City Hurricanes (pictured on the front)</strong></p> <p>Gortman is ranked #3 in the Palmetto State 2022 class. Gortman can really fill it up in a hurry in the scoring column. Gortman scored 29 points in a Saturday opening round game and followed up later that night with a 41 point effort. Gortman can create his own shot and get to the basket quite easily with his play. Gortman isn’t afraid to stalk the baseline while attacking the cup. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/1AD4189A-EBFA-4FB8-B4D1-4EDBA4728E67.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1018695" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/1AD4189A-EBFA-4FB8-B4D1-4EDBA4728E67-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="837333" first="Samaad" last="Wright"] - Blythewood HS - PSB Elite UA Rise 16</strong></p> <p>Wright had a really good weekend for his Charlotte, NC based program. Wright was able to get the ball into the lane and make plays for himself and his teammates. Wright connected on some short jumpers and always seemed to be in the right position on the floor to make a play. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/087C204E-7F23-410A-9D06-587A95767A6F.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1018697" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/087C204E-7F23-410A-9D06-587A95767A6F-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="930616" first="Kidd" last="Brizek"] - Legacy Early College - Big Shots Elite - Tri Cities </strong></p> <p>Brizek was on loan this weekend from Team South Carolina. Brizek 6’6 wing recently decided he would play at Legacy Early College this coming season. Brizek played last season at Powdersville HS. Brizek a long and rangy forward is versatile enough to play all over the floor. Brizek has good length and rebounds the ball on both ends of the floor. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/829A8E41-6B72-49C9-944A-AAA41B6A5797.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1019070" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/829A8E41-6B72-49C9-944A-AAA41B6A5797-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="837336" first="Khalil" last="Cooke"] - Spring Valley HS - Carolina Cavs Blue </strong></p> <p>Cooke 6’5 now has really grown in the past year. Cooke a big guard-wing elevates on his jump shot and has the ability to knock it down from behind the arc. Cooke has good shot selection and doesn’t intend to force anything. Cooke was active in the passing lane getting several deflections. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/3179D9E5-BB25-4137-AE54-7F68D86B7DB7.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1018693" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/3179D9E5-BB25-4137-AE54-7F68D86B7DB7-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="949980" first="Isaiah" last="Williams"] - Blythewood HS - Carolina Cavs Blue </strong></p> <p>Williams a left-handed forward plays on a very talented Bengals with the likes of <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="594069" first="Julian" last="Phillips"]</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="837333" first="Samaad" last="Wright"]</strong>. Williams a rangy forward plays extremely active on both ends of the floor. Williams has the ability to alter and challenge shots with his length. Williams runs the floor very well and connect on 15-17 footer jumper. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
