<p>Sunday brings the stage to a close but not before giving us another day of standouts. We’re looking at 10 prospects that turned heads on day 3.</p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8459-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1425607" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8459-150x150.jpg" alt="Deshawn Fox | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>P.L.U.T.O 2024</strong><br />
<strong>Deshawn Fox</strong><br />
Fox gives you two-way production with his defensive tools and accuracy from beyond the arc. The 6’4 wing made it his business to antagonize his matchup and force him into turnovers. He backed it up with 12 points, including a trio of triples. His length helped him rack up steals and block a shot at the rim.</p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8464.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-1425609 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8464-e1649646857220-150x150.jpg" alt="TreyDez Green | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>LA Broncos 2024</strong><br />
<strong>TreyDez Green</strong><br />
Green started the 8 AM game off slow before punishing the rim and knocking down 10 of his 11 free throws. The Louisiana native went for a 22 point double-double while showcasing his post moves. Green’s athleticism led to highlight reel plays above the rim. The 2024 prospect is entering the conversation as one of the best bigs in the Passion Region.</p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8469-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1425615" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8469-150x150.jpg" alt="Maury Lewis | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>City Circle Shooters 2023</strong><br />
[player_tooltip player_id="1424192" first="Maury" last="Lewis"]<br />
The 6’2 guard has a wide athletic frame that makes bigger guards difficult to handle. Lewis is a talented playmaker that uses his handle and passing instincts to set teammates up. He barely needed to score to be one of the feature players in a potent offense.</p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8472-e1649647051212.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1425617 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8472-e1649647051212-150x150.jpg" alt="Demetric Kindle | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>Texas Takeover Elite Stallworth 2023</strong><br />
<strong>Demetric Kindle</strong><br />
Kindle’s three level scoring led to a game high 20 points. The 6’4 Texas native has the length to rise above defenders in the midrange. He showed several ways to finish at the basket with either hand. Three made shots from deep on sound efficiency display what he does behind the arc.</p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8481-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1425619" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8481-150x150.jpg" alt="Jason Jack | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>Florida Suns 2023 Black</strong><br />
[player_tooltip player_id="1176654" first="Jason" last="Jack"]<br />
Jack’s game high 13 points had physical combo guard written all over it. The 2023 prospect got downhill finishing through contact several times. He has control of his body on drives using a jump stop to avoid a charge and then finish at the rim. Jack can step behind the line to knock down threes and make plays with the drive and kick.</p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8478-rotated.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1425621 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8478-150x150.jpg" alt="AC Strok | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>Wisconsin Academy 2023 Slaby/Esters</strong><br />
<strong>A.C. Strok</strong><br />
The 6’2 guard plays the game with toughness. Strok made a difference on the defensive and the boards. He plays the game bigger than someone his size. He’s a good finisher that took it to the rack against a frontline with several guys 6’7 or taller.</p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8486-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1425622" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8486-150x150.jpg" alt="Kyle McNeal | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a>Ball4lyfe 2023<br />
[player_tooltip player_id="962569" first="Kyle" last="McNeal"]<br />
McNeal had the left side of the court red hot. McNeal hit a three, a midrange jumper, had a field day finishing at the rim through contact, and hit all three of his free throws. On top of that, he made the right pass while racking up deflections on defense.</p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8488-rotated.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1425625 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8488-150x150.jpg" alt="Mardrecus Moreland Jr. | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>Alabama Celtics 2023</strong><br />
<strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/mardrecus-moreland-jr/">Mardrecus Moreland Jr.</a></strong><br />
Moreland is a pure playmaker no matter what side of the ball he is on. Equipped with next-level quickness and a flashy handle, he makes for a slippery matchup. Once he’s passed you he can get to the rim or find his teammates where ever they are on the floor. He showcased an ability to create space all weekend, but the stepback three he made for a four point play will be on a highlight reel. Moreland had some of the best hands on the defensive side of anyone in attendance. He had 5 takeaways without causing a single foul.</p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8491.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-1425627 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8491-e1649647555944-150x150.jpg" alt="Zachary Chambers | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>Rush Academy 2024</strong><br />
<strong>Zachary Chambers</strong><br />
Chambers already has the size to make him a next-level prospect, and the skill is coming to match it. At a solid 6’8, he has solid footwork, commands rebounds, and finishes against guys just as big or bigger. Working on his short area quickness will be important for his development, but flashes of a runner point to the work he’s putting in. He has the size and length to wall up at the rim, blocking and affecting shots.</p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8495-rotated.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1425631 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8495-150x150.jpg" alt="Lucas Weiner | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>Iowa Barnstormers 2023 Black</strong><br />
<strong>Lucas Weiner</strong><br />
Weiner is a lanky 6’8 post with mobility to excel on the block and as a pick and roll partner. He has several moves and the post and just as many finishes to go along. He’s a big target, rolling into the basket with solid hands to make the tough catch. The 2023 prospect is an active rebounder and provides rim protection.</p>
