Coach Wootten brought his legendary Top 150 Camp along with the top-performing senior, junior, and sophomore prospects from across the country to Mansfield, Texas for a weekend filled with high-level coaching, and next-level basketball techniques, and IQ development from Coach Wooten himself. Here we’ll take a look at 5 of the most outstanding ballers from this sensational weekend. <hr /> [player_tooltip player_id="889560" first="Jordan" last="Walsh"] | Small Forward | Link Academy | C/o ’22 [player_tooltip player_id="889560" first="Jordan" last="Walsh"] showed us why he’s known as the ultimate contributor as he held things all together on both ends of the floor, defending the rim effectively, playing the passing lanes, constantly looking to get a teammate involved before himself, and setting terrific on and off-ball screens. [player_tooltip player_id="889560" first="Jordan" last="Walsh"] showcased prowess in all aspects of the game but he really excelled in one-on-one drills where he ate guys up, getting to his sweet spots in the mid-range or effectively penetrating the lane often dunking ontop of his opponents head. Walsh displayed a knack for using his backside to create space and protect the ball as well as his shot under the rim. Walsh’s athleticism is one of a kind, Whether the lane was open or closed he was coming in to throw it down, finishing plays with thunderous rim rocking slam dunks. Even with a defender draped over him under the basket, he was able to explode back up with a two-handed throw down on the defense. [player_tooltip player_id="889560" first="Jordan" last="Walsh"] has the physicality, length, strength, and hops to be a dominant force at the colligate level for the University of Arkansas next year. <hr /> <img class="size-medium wp-image-1313887 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/10/IMG_0998-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" />[player_tooltip player_id="709255" first="Sean" last="Stewart"] | Combo Forward | Windermere HS | C/o ’23 Florida’s top power forward, [player_tooltip player_id="709255" first="Sean" last="Stewart"] has the attention of every high major Divison 1 university in the country and at this year’s Wootten Camp, he showed everyone why. Stewart was one of the best utility players I’ve ever seen, you can plug him in with any team and expect good results. He’s extremely unselfish, and seems to be more about the betterment of his team before himself. The kid possesses all of the intangibles and much more. Stewart really stood out as one of the best pick-and-roll players in the gym, someone who excelled when setting off-ball screens before slipping to the basket or reposting, his talent in the playmaker spot helped open his teammates up on both sides of the basket. After setting a strong screen Stewart would drop step out of his roll and throw one down above the rim quick and easy with brute strength and force. His hang time was also out of this world, he effortlessly dunked some of the most jaw-dropping 360s where it seemed like he hung in the air for minutes, [player_tooltip player_id="709255" first="Sean" last="Stewart"] was capable of pulling off just about any slam dunk in the book. This high-ranking prospect was always in the right spot at the right time proving to be a true ball magnet with excellent instincts. <hr /> <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1313886" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/10/IMG_0969-244x300.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="300" />[player_tooltip player_id="787347" first="K.J." last="Lewis"] | Shooting Guard | El Paso Chapin HS | C/o ’23 El Paso basketball legend, [player_tooltip player_id="787347" first="K.J." last="Lewis"] put on an outstanding showing and had my attention glued to his play anytime he took the floor. The 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard proved to be a straight-up junkyard dog on the court, absolutely fearless and a true man amongst boys, Lewis completely abused bigger, smaller, and weaker opponents with his body strength, power, and size. Each time he stepped onto the court he showed what makes him such a mismatch and so highly regarded, his athleticism, feel for the game, and will to win set him apart from anyone else and will also propel him to greatness at the next level. Nothing was ever forced with this kid, he let the game come to him, and if he didn’t have the shot he utilized his quick thinking to read defenses and find open teammates to feed, displaying tremendous unselfishness, good patience, and a high basketball IQ. Anytime a bucket was needed Lewis showcased an excellent slashing skill set that allowed him to get to the rack at will using a great burst of quickness in his first step before muscling his way through all sorts of traffic, effectively attacking the hole against every team. Once inside, the junior prospect proceeded to punch home a man’s jam on a consistent basis, slamming dunks through the rim as hard as he could. An amazingly fantastic finisher near the basket with seriously scary bounce and hang time like no other. K.J. jumped so high you would think he’s never coming down. He was one of the few players that could dunk in bunches, having a stint where he slam-dunked on 3 straight possessions, all contested or on somebody’s head, one was even a two-handed putback dunk. After watching [player_tooltip player_id="787347" first="K.J." last="Lewis"], one thing I learned for certain is to get out of the way whenever he’s on the attack, or else you’ll end up on the wrong end of a highlight reel. <hr /> <img class="size-medium wp-image-1313885 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/10/IMG_0967-256x300.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="300" />[player_tooltip player_id="892139" first="Malik" last="Presley"] | Small Forward | San Marcos HS | C/o ’23 Nationally-ranked small forward, [player_tooltip player_id="892139" first="Malik" last="Presley"], was a truly lights-out jump shooter that is automatic in a stress-free environment. This deadeye shot maker was capable of getting steaming hot from deep and going on stretches where he just couldn’t miss while shooting off the catch. Impeccable balance, high release point, and great fluidity, all of his energy transfers perfectly to his jump shooting motion even when pulling up. Presley put up numbers from all three levels of the floor, not only with his pure jumper but also with his threatening ability to beat men off the dribble using long strides in his first step and his shoulder to cut off the defender’s angle from stopping his penetration. During competitive gameplay, Malik immediately went right at the competition and relentlessly attacked for the left side of the floor for contested finishes at the rim that he made look easy. Another noticeable quality about [player_tooltip player_id="892139" first="Malik" last="Presley"] was the leadership he displayed, with his communication, effort, energy, and knack for taking over a game. <hr /> [player_tooltip player_id="787344" first="R.J." last="Jones"] | Combo Guard | John Paul II | C/o ’23 R.J Jones made his presence felt as a pure basketball player with excellent offensive instincts, you won’t find many prospects in R.J.’s graduating class quite as well-rounded, well-polished, or as skillful as he is. Jones has an array of moves to break a defender down, very much a professional ball-handler with crossovers in a league of their own, leaving guys slipping and sliding all over the place. Tremendous footwork off the dribble and off the catch when spotting up from deep. Jones ran down the floor and quickly went into his right to left 1-2 step while staying low and in a good position to catch-and-shoot. When letting one fly, Jones always has a snappy quick release with perfect balance and textbook shooting form. His floaters and runners inside the arc are deadly as well, R.J. puts a perfect touch on his shot and softly kisses it right over the rim whether he’s contested or off balance. One of the best shooters and scorers of them all, super-efficient, and made way more shots than he missed. Once [player_tooltip player_id="787344" first="R.J." last="Jones"] got into the zone there was no going back, he became invincible and deadlier than ever. <hr />
