2021: 5 players that could benefit from a regular season-Part 3

<p>I’m wondering how many parents of players in the 2021 class know the importance of a high school basketball regular season.</p> <p>They have to be concerned like the players, right? You would think so.</p> <p>A regular season is the only way players are going to be seen. Without one, parents have to come up with a plan B, which could be prep school, reclassifying to the 2020 class and going to college in January (only if the player has offers on the table) or graduate in May and take a chance on a college scooping the player up at the last minute.</p> <p>Let’s be honest here, a plan B needs to be in place for a lot of prospects in the 2021 class, but let’s remain optimistic that a season will happen.</p> <p><strong>Here are 5 players that could benefit from a regular season:</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="775647" first="Dominic" last="Brown"], ECS: </strong>Brown is an underrated playmaker and can knock down shots from 3-point range. He’s not recognized enough. Brown isn’t talked about enough. A regular season could move him up the ladder. </p> <p><strong>Landon</strong> <strong>Smith</strong>, <strong>Adamsville</strong>: Smith is a 6-foot-5 wing with long shooting range. He’s not a bad ball handler and is a versatile wing, with the ability to play at shooting guard and small forward. Smith could be one of the steals in the 2021 class if a college coach gives him a chance.</p> <p><strong>Kaeden</strong> <strong>Laws</strong>, <strong>Center</strong> <strong>Hill</strong>: A productive summer for Laws would have been huge, so he could’ve gotten more looks from college coaches. Laws is a 6-4 guard/forward that can shoot from 3-point range. He also has the ability to put the ball on the floor. Laws will most likely be the Mustangs’ best player for the 2020-21 season. The spotlight will be on him.</p> <p><strong>Jordan</strong> <strong>Hamilton</strong>, <strong>Cordova</strong>: Hamilton could find a college home thanks to his ability to shoot from 3. His defense, ball handling and movement without the basketball still needs work. Hopefully, he’s been working on those things during a dead summer. If he has aspirations of playing at the next level, he will need to be able to do more than shoot 3s.</p> <p><strong>Cameron</strong> <strong>Donegan</strong>, <strong>Tipton</strong>-<strong>Rosemark</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>: Donegan is a fast, tough point guard. He can definitely go play college basketball somewhere. Donegan is coming off a so-so junior season, having a combination of good and bad moments. A summer with a known AAU team could have sparked some programs to show interest. Now, the 5-9 point guard will have to rely on the regular season to get a scholarship. He’s deserving of it.</p>
