Las Vegas Summer Championships: 2021/2022 Notebook

<p>We got a chance to see a lot of players from Oregon this past weekend at the Las Vegas Summer Showcase. Here are notes on some of the top rising seniors or potential prep school players.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="787678" first="Lamar" last="Washington"], Dream Vision 17U (2022 Jefferson/Compass Prep-AZ)</strong></p> <p>Looked to facilitate first and pass to his very talented teammates, but still ended up scoring well. Was extremely tough on the drive and finished well with either hand. Hit some open threes including five in one game. Used quick hands to get steals and get into transition.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="942247" first="Devon" last="Malcolm"], Oregon Prospects 17U Select (2022 South Medford)</strong></p> <p>Got his power dunks as usual but showed much more overall basketball play. Really fought on the boards and while almost always smaller than the guy he was guarding down low, was physical and bodied up well. Was able to hit a few perimeter jumpers.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="857342" first="Dallon" last="Morgan"], Oregon Prospects 17U (2022 Sprague)</strong></p> <p>Finished the tournament strong, both figuratively and literally. Started to get physical inside the last couple of days and had some strong finishes in the paint and was rebounding well. Still able to get outside and knock down some open threes.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1228279" first="Caden" last="Harris"], Players Play 17U (2022 Summit)</strong></p> <p>Well-built wing with good athleticism. Shot the ball fairly well in a couple of games and was able to hit jumpers while contested. Was able to create a bit off the dribble and finish strong around the hoop. Helped out on the boards and in general, played with constant effort.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="855935" first="Nic" last="Boyd"], Oregon Prospects 17U Select (2021 La Salle)</strong></p> <p>Did a great job managing the game and keeping the ball moving. Handled the ball well under pressure. Hit open threes and created off the dribble for scores when the opportunity was there without forcing the issue.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="855937" first="Isaiah" last="Gilliam"], Oregon Prospects 17U Select (2021 South Albany)</strong></p> <p>Late addition to the team.  Really attacked the basket and used his body and willingness to play physical to make an impact, especially on the offensive boards.  Has signed to play at Clackamas CC next season.</p> <p><strong>Ariya Briscoe, Oregon Prospects 17U Select (2021 Union-WA)</strong></p> <p>Perhaps the most consistent performer for his team the entire weekend. Used his body well to drive and convert around the hoop on drives. Showed he could hit the open three in at least one game with his lefty stroke. Headed to Golden State Prep for post-grad next season.</p>
