<p>Basketball tipped in Tennessee. Here are some player evaluations from the games that I saw last week.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Station Camp vs. Kenwood: November 17</h2> <p><strong>Kemari McIntosh (2022) | Kenwood</strong></p> <p>McIntosh plays without fear.  Like most undersized guards he plays low and fast.  What KM brings uniquely is a willingness to clatter into anybody anywhere on the court.  He hit a buzzer beater for his boys in the first half.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1008433" first="Eli" last="Rice"] (2022) | Station Camp</strong></p> <p>The game’s best college prospect is likely [player_tooltip player_id="1008433" first="Eli" last="Rice"].  Rice already holds four D1 offers and it is clear why.  Standing all of 6-foot-6, Rice plays a little like Jalen Rose of old.  He sees the floor well, handles better than average for a guard (great for his height), and knocks down open shots.  The creativity is a significant strength.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1043447" first="Donovan" last="Smith"] (2021) | Station Camp</strong></p> <p>D Smith is a speedy, dynamic guard.  Many, if not all, of his touches are purposeful.  Each touch he makes the defender work.  his energy is unending and his court awareness at this level is tremendous.  He is a little bit like Montre Boddie (West Creek ’19).  Regardless of the potency of the opposing guard, Smith is unafraid and on balance.  The one area Smith should improve is upper body strength.  Finishing in the lane is always going to be challenging for sub 6’ guards and some added power can help tremendously in tight.</p> <p><strong>Quentavius Barnes (2022) | Kenwood</strong></p> <p>Quentavius is explosive.  The attacking of Barnes typically ends with his leaping above the defense.  Barnes plays a little like Nate Robinson (NBA vet) in that he constantly untilizes his athleticism as a weapon.  Barnes does wonderful tracking down fastbreaks too.  Multiple times facing Station Camp Barnes chased down a layup from behind only to swat it off the clear window pane.</p> <p><strong>#0 [player_tooltip player_id="1012005" first="Isaiah" last="Davis"]* (2022) – Station Camp<br /> #2 Tyler Moore* (2022) - Station Camp<br /> #4 [player_tooltip player_id="1043447" first="Donovan" last="Smith"]* (2021) - Station Camp<br /> #11 [player_tooltip player_id="1008433" first="Eli" last="Rice"]* (2022) - Station Camp<br /> #33 [player_tooltip player_id="983739" first="Kheller" last="Die"]* (2021) – Station Camp</strong></p> <p><strong><br /> </strong><strong>#1 Caleb Grady* (2023) - Clarksville Kenwood<br /> #4 Quentavius Barnes* (2022) – Kenwood<br /> #5 Jonquriona Johns* (2022) – Kenwood<br /> #11 Jaylen Washington* (2022) - Kenwood<br /> #24 AJ Conyers* (2022) – Kenwood<br /> #00 <a class="Anchor__StyledAnchor-sc-1fyvlgd-0 eiLfoh" href="https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/kemari-mcintosh/6HFyaQ4aEeqAzqREozo6lw/default.htm">Kemari Mcintosh</a> (2022) - Kenwood<br /> <br /> </strong></p> <h2>Beech vs. Northeast: November 17</h2> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1011998" first="Kristian" last="Shaw"] (2022) | Beech</strong></p> <p>Wonderful handle at ideal wing size.  Northeast actually was a wonderful test for Shaw, who projects to play college ball.  They are long and athletic at the wing positions and he will inevitably be paired with those kind of defenders in his not so distant future.  How did he do?  [player_tooltip player_id="1011998" first="Kristian" last="Shaw"] is a player wholly deserving of college scouting and yet he continues to be hot-and-cold.  Cold might be the wrong word actually.  Shaw just vanishes offensively for stretches.  A quarter later Shaw will knock down four shots in a row without a single teammate blinking.  Shaw shared a great second quarter of catch-and-shooting. The potential of Shaw is undeniable.  Perhaps this is what makes the mercurial play so frustrating.  </p> <p><strong>Jojo Brown (2022) | Beech</strong></p> <p>Wears #0 for Beech. Scrappy guard.  High energy. Undersized slightly. Though he remains relatively low on the Call List Brown can bury the open shot, especially from the corner. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="537274" first="Keaton" last="Allen"] (2021) | Northeast</strong></p> <p>Allen showed up on our radar during his sophomore preseason.  Allen waited his turn and kept plugging away.  Always tall at the off-guard position, Allen is finally ready to carry his deep, talented Eagle team.  Great scoring touch. Respected by all.</p> <p><strong>Bradley Wheeler (2021) | Beech</strong></p> <p>Wears #3 for Beech.  Wheeler is pesky, very light on his feet.  His hands are quick.  There was not much of a threat that Wheeler was going to score on the Eagles though.</p> <p><strong>Jaylan Miller (2021) | Northeast</strong></p> <p>Wears #0 for Northeast.  Jaylan is capable with the ball in his hands.  Don’t expect him to destroy a 2-3 zone, as Beech formidably put forward, but he will not turn the ball over much.  Northeast entrusts him with controlling the pace and flow. Wonderful poise. </p> <p><strong>Luke Sinnard (2021) | Beech</strong></p> <p>Wears #34 for Beech. Traditional back-to-the-basket big.  Not overly technical. Luke is listed 6-foot-8 and plays all of 6-foot-8 with high, strong, shoulders.  Even though Sinnard will play college baseball, his impact for the BHS Bucs will be noticed.  Sinnard forces defenses to be a little more honest in the paint.  When talented wings like Powell, Shaw, and others really get going the court balance will look imposing as Sinnard hovers on the block.</p> <p>https://twitter.com/NEHS_Eagles/status/1328922726401253377?s=20</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>NOTES:</strong> Beech played without three stars ([player_tooltip player_id="775562" first="Kaleb" last="Powell"], [player_tooltip player_id="1012001" first="Andrew" last="Paige"]).  Powell missed with a minor knee injury and Andrew is currently competing in football.  [player_tooltip player_id="1012003" first="Jackson" last="Long"] is also a dual-sport athlete.</p> <h2>Green Hill vs. Clarksville: November 19</h2> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="775625" first="Jaheim" last="McDonald"] (2021) | Clarksville</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="775625" first="Jaheim" last="McDonald"] came out hot for the hosting Wildcats of CHS.  He is a familiar face and name to the 931 area code. </p> <p><strong>JJ Wheat (2022) | Clarksville</strong></p> <p>Dynamic and explosive.  Wheat plays tremendously at top speed.  In time, he will have to learn how to vary his speeds a little bit.  [player_tooltip player_id="537262" first="Riggs" last="Abner"] (Green Hill) drew a charge on JJ because he could see Wheat was mentally committed to attacking the lane from three dribbles away.  Wheat is absolutely among the top point guards in middle Tennessee.</p> <p><strong>Jordan Burch (2021) | Green Hill</strong></p> <p><span style="color: inherit; font-family: inherit;">Burch is an extremely solid rebounder.  Every rebound he caught with two hands.  Formidable defender.  Burch possessed and possesses soft hands. </span></p> <p><span style="color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 2rem;">Partial Squads with *Starters</span></p> <div> <p><strong>#3 [player_tooltip player_id="537262" first="Riggs" last="Abner"]* – Green Hill<br /> #11 Zach Blair - Green Hill<br /> #12 [player_tooltip player_id="1008262" first="Paxton" last="Davidson"]* - Green Hill<br /> #15 Blake Stacey* - Green Hill<br /> #43 Jordan Burch* – Green Hill</strong></p> <p><strong><br /> </strong><strong>#1 [player_tooltip player_id="775625" first="Jaheim" last="McDonald"]* - Clarksville<br /> #2 ?? – Clarksville<br /> #3 JJ Wheat* (2022) – Clarksville<br /> #5 Charles Freeman* (2021) – Clarksville<br /> #23 Wesley Booth* (2021) – Clarksville<br /> </strong></p> <p><strong>NOTES: </strong>Green Hill loved the 1-2 of Abner to Burch back to Abner.  They appear to be a tag team.</p> </div>
