Prep Hoops took in the Phenom Summer Havoc at the Rock Hill Sports & Event Center. Lets take a look at some 2021 players from the Palmetto State while we were in attendance on Friday.

Earl Burgess Earl Burgess 6'7" | PF Dorman | 2021 State SC – Dorman HS – Team 864 (pictured on the front)

Can Rice win a 4th straight State Championship this season for the Blazers ?
Nic Williams Nic Williams 6'4" | SG Mauldin | 2021 State SC – Mauldin HS – Upward Stars Upstate Bailey
Williams has really made a lot of good progress with his game this summer. Williams is handling the rock a bit more in the back court and seems to be more involved on both ends of the floor. Williams has a great motor on the floor and really seems to excel in the transition game.
Ian Thomson Ian Thomson 6'10" | PF Southside Christian | 2021 State SC – Southside Christian – Upward Stars Upstate Bailey
Thomson is a great student in the classroom with over a 5.0 GPA. Thomson has added weight to his body and frame over the past year. Thomson runs the floor well and has a good touch from the foul line. Thomson keeps the ball up high and can step-out to face up the basket.
Umar Lawson Umar Lawson 6'3" | CG Lakewood | 2021 VA – Lakewood HS (Sumter) – Upward Stars Pee Dee
Lawson at times should be a half-time entertainment show with his highlights. Lawson a UBER athletic player really likes to explode to the basket and hammer it down when given the chance. Lawson a left-handed guard will be at Lakewood HS this coming season after playing the past 2 seasons at Laurence Manning Academy.
