Green is the younger brother of former Saints / University of South Carolina player Mike Green. Green a left-handed guard plays the game with a great feel and a way to score the ball. Green has a deep range stroke and uncanny court vision with the ball. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/776E1354-0077-4D0C-88CC-E02BB5ED2886.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1160865" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/776E1354-0077-4D0C-88CC-E02BB5ED2886-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1158878" first="Jamie" last="Brooks"] - North Myrtle Beach M.S. - LA Elite </strong></p> <p>Brooks has been a mainstay for us here at Prep Hoops it seems over the past month. Brooks a bouncy post player has great length and the ability to alter and challenge shots around the paint. Brooks runs the floor very well and feels very comfortable posting up down low on the block. Brooks does a great job of rebounding the ball out of his area and on both ends of the floor. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1183948" first="John" last="Simmons"] - Myrtle Beach M.S. - Horry Select (pictured on front)</strong></p> <p>Simmons is going to be a good one in due time for the Seahawks. Simmons can play inside-out on the floor with his ability to post up or play face-up out on the wing. Simmons was able to score the ball with 2-3 dribbles to the basket or by knocking down a mid-range jumper. Simmons was extremely active around the basket and always has his feet moving. Simmons plays up a age group with this Horry Select squad.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/98A728B0-19E1-41F1-A97C-E4EA3BE2FE03.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1183975" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/98A728B0-19E1-41F1-A97C-E4EA3BE2FE03-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1183947" first="Zaquawn" last="Murphy"] - Stover M.S. (Elgin)  - LE Blue Demons </strong></p> <p>Murphy is a big-time athlete already for a young age. Murphy scored all of his points just on effort around the basket. Murphy looks to be destined to play wide receiver on Friday nights in the fall. Murphy already has a 31 inch vertical leap for his age. Murphy will attend Lugoff-Elgin HS in the fall. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/AF1B1F0F-BF68-426B-AFCD-01CBCE427E61.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1183978" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/AF1B1F0F-BF68-426B-AFCD-01CBCE427E61-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1183949" first="Michael" last="Jordan"] - C.E. Williams M.S. (Charleston) - 24-7 JR Ballers </strong></p> <p>Jordan is a physical post player down on the block for this Charleston based program coached by Denzel Myers.
