Perseverance Camp Notebook Pt. 2

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Perseverance Camp coverage continues with a handful of high academic prospects. The senior-laden group knows how to play and has solidified their roles on teams that could win some hardware in their district. Some competitive games brought the best out of these prospects.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG_9678-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1496067" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG_9678-150x150.jpg" alt="Matt Williams | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a>A group of seniors leads <strong>Jupiter</strong> with skill sets that work well with each other. <strong>Jackson Bear</strong> is a combo guard that plays with an edge. He made a pull up three, made plays for others when he got in the paint, and showed he could play off the ball. <strong>Ben Cahill</strong> did more of his damage in transition before showing off deep three point shooting range and craft with the ball in his hands. <strong>Matt Williams</strong> is a 6’3 guard that can hit midrange jumpers, make plays on <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG_9677-rotated.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1496069 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG_9677-150x150.jpg" alt="Hunter Greenling | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a>downhill drives, and finish through contact. 6’8 <strong>Hunter Greenling</strong> is a long forward who understands how to use verticality to protect the rim. He’s an active rebounder, runs the floor, and can finish through contact despite having a slim frame. The lone underclassman standout from Jupiter is <strong>Ray Ray Collum</strong>. The 2025 prospect is a crafty 5’6 with great vision. He’s more of a setup man at this point in his career, but shows off the skills needed to score in paint as a smaller guard.</p> <p><strong>Olympic heights</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1463344" first="Gyterson" last="Louissaint"]</strong> was another Keiser Camp standout that played well at Perseverance camp. At a burly 6’7, he plays with physicality while being light on his feet. The big man runs the floor well for someone his size.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG_9682-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1496070" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG_9682-150x150.jpg" alt="Marcus Upshaw | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG_9684-rotated.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1496071 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG_9684-150x150.jpg" alt="Adrian Espinoza | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a>Wellington Wolves Blue</strong></p> <p>The wolves trio of 2023 prospects combined for some big moments in their close game against Grandview Prep. 6’4 Forward <strong>Marcus Upshaw</strong> used his athleticism to attack bigs off the dribble and score in the paint. He’s still raw, but the physical tools and motor help him produce. <strong>Jordan Price</strong> has moves in the midrange and can attack the basket when going downhill. <strong>Adrian Espinoza</strong> scored his double figures while getting to the rim and hitting his lone three pointer from the wing. Espinoza draws fouls on his drives and has touch around the rim.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG_9686-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1496072" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG_9686-150x150.jpg" alt="Alexander Street | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG_9687-rotated.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1496073 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG_9687-150x150.jpg" alt="Colin Rice | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a>Grandview Prep</strong></p> <p>The Pride had their own trio of rising seniors that went toe to toe with the wolves. <strong>Colin Rice</strong> is a long, high academic 6’7 forward that runs the floor and is having a strong summer with <strong>Team Knight. Alexander Street</strong> is an athletic guard that blocked multiple shots and used his speed to push the pace. He attacked the rim well, drew fouls, and headed the team’s transition attack. 6’6 <strong>Matthew McClellan</strong> has the size and passing acumen to feed this team’s scoring options.</p>
