Memorial Weekend Recap: Top Sleepers

<p>Memorial Day has always been a huge basketball weekend. After the events of last year, the pent-up demand for basketball in Sin City was real. Several organizations hosted events around the city, including West Coast Elite’s Vegas Memorial Day Classic, and Cal Elite Basketball’s West Coast Smoke. Several players did a good job of putting themselves on the radar. In this article, we take a look at the top Sleepers from the event. </p> <p><strong>Souleymane Barro</strong> <em>6’7 PF Vegas Elite 2023</em> - Size is always at a premium and Barro has that. A high ceiling type player that plays for a good 2A program in Utah. Barro is an athletic interior presence, that impacts games with low post defense and rebounding.</p> <p><strong>Andrew Fielder</strong> <em>6’9 C DIB 2023</em> - Fielder is a skilled 4 man that’s a better than average athlete. He steps out a little and stretches the floor and can score with his back to the basket. Fielder is a solid big man prospect that will probably be on someone’s radar at the conclusion of July. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1088236" first="Tyler" last="Shipp"] <em>6’7 SF Henderson Knights 2022</em> - Showed a ton of skill at the High Academic camp. The fact that he’s a high academic recruit goes a long way. Shipp has the type of size small colleges are looking for, and his playmaking skills give him a chance to be a highly productive 3 man. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1185179" first="Kyle" last="Lemke"] <em>6’7 C F<span style="font-size: 1rem;">light 2024</span></em> <span style="font-size: 1rem;">- Lemke makes both my stockriser and sleeper list. It’s appropriate for a high production player like himself. The fundamental 5 is a quality rebounder, and can finish around the rim on putbacks and with his back to the basket. </span></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="928906" first="Jalen" last="Foy"] <em>6’5 SF Hard 2 Guard 2022</em> <em>(featured image)</em> - Foy’s physical transformation over the year has gone a long way. 16 months ago he was a 250 LB standstill shooter. Today he is a lean, fluid wing, that makes plays for his team. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/7outzbballclub1">Follow Prep Hoops</a></p>
