Portland State Elite Camp – 2023 Performers (II)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For the first time in three years, Portland State hosted its Elite Camp on Friday and many of the state's top players were in the house at Viking Pavilion ready to compete. Here's a look at some more of the top rising seniors in the state that were there and how they performed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='861087' first='Esyah' last='Pippa-White'] (2023 Gresham)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pippa-White played hard on the offensive end, making an effort to drive to the basket and dish it to teammates for scores. While is focus seemed to be more on playmaking, he did get some buckets for himself and hit some perimeter shots to keep the defense honest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='861088' first='Graham' last='Eikenberry'] (2023 Lincoln)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a number of bigger guys at camp, Eikenberry had more resistance in the paint but he held his own. While he didn't get many touches on offense, he made the most out of the ones he got and as usual was very active on the boards and running the floor to get back on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='861097' first='Malik' last='Brown'] (2023 Tigard)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown was aggressive getting to the basket and had good success as it resulted in a number of scores. He did a good job of looking for open teammates on the drive and dish and was active on the defensive end as always.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='861095' first='Kalim' last='Brown'] (2023 Tigard)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was not surprising in the least to see Brown excel at his speciality - the one-dribble pull-up. He scored on this move many times during the games we watched but also stepped out and hit some long range shots as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1458081' first='Fernando' last='de la Torre'] (2023 David Douglas)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>de la Torre did a good job of taking care of the basketball and showed a pretty nice touch from the perimeter, including a couple of shots beyond the arc. He was listed as being from David Douglas but did play with Benson during June ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
