Slam Dunk To The Beach: Tuesday Standouts

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prep Hoops was in the gym at <strong>Cape Henlopen High School</strong> for <strong>Hoophall East</strong> presented by <strong>Slam Dunk To The Beach</strong> and it was an action packed Tuesday evening with some of the best high school programs from around the country in attendance. Below are some of the top performers from Tuesday.</span></p> <p><strong>2022 Moussa Ngom | 6’9 | National Christian</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ngom immediately made his presence down low in the post for National Christian and was a force all game long. Ngom showed good ability to finish around the rim through contact consistently with his toughness and a constant motor as he tallied 10 points. He was all over the boards where he finished with 16 rebounds. Defensively he was altering shots and has the looks of being a capable shot blocker.</span></p> <p><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="850752" first="Simeon" last="Wilcher"] | 6’5 | Roselle Catholic</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The UNC commit got off to a slow start but was almost unstoppable from late in the 2nd half to end of the game. Wilcher showed off his athleticism and ability to score the basketball in a variety of ways finishing with 25 points, 10-11 from the field and 3-3 from deep. I came away very impressed with Wilcher and I expect him to be a major player for UNC as soon as he steps on campus.</span></p> <p><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1025905" first="Jamarques" last="Lawrence"] | 6’4 | Roselle Catholic</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wilcher’s running mate and Nebraska commit, Jarmaques Lawrence, had a great performance in Roselle’s Catholic win against Gray Collegiate finishing with 24 points while going 10-14 from the field. Fred Hoiberg is getting a very good shooter that can create his own shot or shoot it off the catch. </span></p> <p><strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id="850753" first="Akil" last="Watson"] | 6’8 | Roselle Catholic</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first thing that stands out when watching Watson is his length and size. Standing at 6’8 he can guard multiple positions and do a variety of things offensively. There is a lot of upside and potential with him and I would expect more high major schools to get involved with him in the coming months.</span></p> <p><strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id="861099" first="Marquis" last="Cook"] | 6’8 | AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cook was just one of the many players from AZ Compass that stood out in a beatdown on Westtown winning by a score of 75-45. Cook contributed with 16 points including 12 from deep. He was dominant with the ball in his hands and showed his ability to stretch the floor and score at a high level. </span></p>
