The 6’7” hybrid forward has a ton of versatility as he can put it on the deck on the perimeter and get to the rim where he’s a big time finisher, he can knock down shots from all over the floor and he can post and score in the paint and get buckets on offensive rebounds as well.</span></p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">[player_tooltip player_id="533518" first="Elijah" last="Jamison"] | 6’3” PG | Liberty Heights National</span></strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/02/Jamison-Elijah.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1129091" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/02/Jamison-Elijah-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Jamison has been the catalyst for Liberty Heights over the past two seasons, and is widely considered one of the top point guards in the area. He’s an exceptional athlete with the ball in his hands as he has a quick first step and great speed in the open floor, he stays under control and makes good decisions with the ball in his hands and he is capable of creating for himself and getting buckets from all over the floor.</span></p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">[player_tooltip player_id="848069" first="Cinque" last="Lemon"] | 6’5” WG | Liberty Heights National</span></strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/01/IMG_6361.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1111204" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/01/IMG_6361-225x300.jpeg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Lemon is about as underrated as they come for someone playing on a national team, as the two guard has a mix of tools that all translate to the next level. He has great size on the wing and is a big time athlete who can play above the rim, he can knock down shots from all over the floor off the catch and he can handle and create as well and he has huge potential on the defensive end too.</span></p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">[player_tooltip player_id="1013056" first="Takai" last="Simpkins"] | 6’2” PG | Liberty Heights Varsity</span></strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Simpkins-Takai.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1345659" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Simpkins-Takai-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">While the national team has some big names, don’t sleep on this Liberty Heights varsity team that has had a terrific season led by the Simpkins twins. Takai is an electric alpha dog at the point guard position who plays with great energy on both ends of the floor, he’s an excellent athlete that can play above the rim and get in the lane at will, he can shoot it from deep and he is a big time on ball defender as well.</span></p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">[player_tooltip player_id="1013055" first="Tajuan" last="Simpkins"] | 6’2” PG | Liberty Heights Varsity</span></strong></p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Simpkins-Tajuan.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1345660" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Simpkins-Tajuan-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></span></strong></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Takai’s twin Tajuan is no slouch either, as the other Simpkins has many of the same qualities as his brother and impacts the game across the board as well. He’s also a big time athlete who can play above the rim and flies all over defensively, he is an excellent playmaker with good feel and vision with the ball in his hands and he’s dynamite in transition with his speed and downhill finishing ability.</span></p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Chas Stinson | 6’4” WF | Liberty Heights Varsity</span></strong></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">While the Simpkins get a lot of the love, the Liberty Heights team is a deep and talented team full of athletes and Stinson is a very impressive one in himself. He has great size on the wing and is a big time athlete in transition, he has three level shot making ability and he also brings it defensively in their press and in help side in the half court.</span></p>
