Prep Hoops takes a look at the 2022-2023 Top Performers from this past weekend at the Big Shots Charleston Summer Showdown. Prep Hoops took in the action on Sunday after making a weekend trip around the Palmetto State. Big Shots was the 3rd stop on the weekend after starting off in Rock Hill and then to Aiken for the Peach State Final Exam. 

Khalil McDaniel Khalil McDaniel 5'8" | PG Dutch Fork | 2022 State SC (2022) – Dutch Fork HS – Big Shots SC Select 

McDaniel and his Big Shots SC Select team were playing with 5 players today. McDaniel was creating havoc and constant ball pressure. Khalil never tops scrapping on the floor with his play. McDaniel will manufacture plays on just simple effort and determination. McDaniel scored 16 points in a game vs S2AD (FL) on Sunday. 

Jerald Colonel Jerald Colonel 6'6" | PF Groves | 2022 State GA (2022) – Groves HS (Garden City, GA) – Coastal Bulls 

Colonel was great all day long with his play around the paint. Colonel is a pogo stick and a extremely quick leaper. Jerald really can change a game on the defensive end of the floor with his ability to challenge and alter shots. Colonel averaged 7.3 ppg, 14 rebounds and 7.8 blocks this past season (124 blocks). Colonel has a great wingspan and does a tremendous job communicating with his teammates on the hardwood. Colonel made several outlet passes today right on stride to teammates. Jerald will run with the Georgia Ignites when not playing with the Coastal Bulls. 

Christaan Neely (2022) – Benedictine Military School (Savannah, GA) – Coastal Bulls 

Neely really came out on fire knocking down several three pointers to start the game. Neely really looks to excel in the transition game Christaan plays the game extremely aggressive and never looks to take a play off. Neely plays the game with a great deal of confidence. 

Will Regan Will Regan 6'2" | SG Oceanside Collegiate | 2023 State SC – Oceanside Collegiate (Mount Pleasant) – Low Country Storm 

Regan played extremely aggressive today with his play. Regan took several charges when he wasn’t knocking down three pointers. Will has added some muscle and weight to his frame and it showed to today with him attacking the cup. 

Lukas Schou Lukas Schou 6'7" | PF Oceanside Collegiate | 2023 State SC – Oceanside Collegiate (Mount Pleasant) – Low Country Storm 

Schou has a great set of hands down low in the paint. Lucas continues to make strides in his game. Schou can face-up from the elbow to the three point line with his play. Schou doesn’t mind carving out space down low on the block. 

Malin Allard Malin Allard 6'3" | SG Lucy Beckham | 2023 State SC – Oceanside Collegiate (Mount Pleasant) – PSB Charleston 2023

Allard really came to play for his PSB squad. Allard was on the attack all day long. Malin scored the ball in transition while finishing with his left-hand at the basket. Allard connected on some perimeter jumpers when he wasn’t bringing the ball up the floor. 

Elijah Dates Elijah Dates 6'2" | CG Goose Creek | 2023 State SC – Goose Creek HS – PSB Charleston 2023

Dates has been here before for the PSB Charleston squad. Dates a long and rangy guard played a bit more off the ball today than we have seen in the past. Elijah plays very good in the passing lanes with his active hands and comes up with several deflections.
