In the words of the famous Dick Vitale, "Kameron can stroke the rock, BABY!" He is a knockdown shooter that knocked down five threes and finished with 20pts against SDA Hawks. He had it going throughout the contest, and the more he scored, the more lanes and gaps opened up for his teammates. Kam showed on day two that he can light it up from anywhere on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1918945,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/PHTP-Micah-Aciek.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/PHTP-Micah-Aciek.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1918945" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Micah Aciek </strong> (6'6/C/'26/ColeWorldElite '26) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: @micahaciek</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Micah is a frontcourt player with good size to be a '26 kid. His length causes a lot of problems on the defensive end of the floor and helps him to be a dominant force on the glass. His defensive ability is ahead of his offensive skillset, and even though it may not be as consistent and productive as it is on defense, he does impact the game on the offensive end of the court by grabbing the boards and getting easy putbacks. His thin frame may be questioned as he plays against stronger and more physical interior players, but his shot-altering ability and energy on the boards cannot be ignored.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1918951,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/PH-Jordan-Francis-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/PH-Jordan-Francis-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1918951" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jordan Francis</strong> (6'2/CG/'26/SDA Hawks' 26) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: jafrancis2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @_jafrancis2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">One of the best downhill straight-line attacking guards I saw throughout the weekend, especially on day two, was Jordan. He is extremely strong and explosive going right, and even though defenders knew by day two that he would be attacking right, they still could not stop the attack. He was physical on the drive and physical as he finished thru contact. He competed with tremendous effort and was a player that his teammate fed off of to raise their level of play. Improving his left is something that Jordan can work on to help his game.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1918955,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/PHTP-Anthony-Miller.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/PHTP-Anthony-Miller.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1918955" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Anthony Miller</strong> (6'1/PF|C/'28/IE Fire '26) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: _anthony_m_08</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Anthony Miller and his squad came all the way from the west coast (California) to compete in the #PHATownShowdown. I really liked Anthony's fight in between the lines, even though the scoreboard did not show just how hard his squad was competing. Anthony is an energy and effort guy who was active in the paint and on the boards, as he challenged shots and fought on the glass. He was often overpowered and at a disadvantage in size, but he kept fighting and playing with a lot of effort.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1918957,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/PHTP-Pepper-Wilson.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/PHTP-Pepper-Wilson.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1918957" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Pepper Wilson</strong> (6'0/CG/'26/One Dream Elite '26) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: pepper_wilson3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @pepperwilson_3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Pepper is a very skilled and gifted combo guard that can produce on and off the ball. He is a multi-level scorer and can dance with the rock in his hands. He keeps defenders off balance and exploits them when they are out of position. He is a legitimate problem for defenders that has to be accounted for when the ball is in his hands and when he is cutting without the ball. He is a playmaker off the bounce, can handle the ball in pick-and-roll action, and can score the rock very well. He did struggle overall from behind the arc, but he is a player that can get it done off the bounce and from behind the arc.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1918966,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/PHTP-Shamar-Gibbs.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/PHTP-Shamar-Gibbs.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1918966" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Shamar Gibbs</strong> (5'9/PG/'26/Camden Elite '26) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: Shamargibbs5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @ShamarGibbs5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Shamar is a player that can absolutely score the rock. He poured in 17pts in a match-up against SDA Hawks. He showed a wide array of skills and scoring abilities and did it all with efficient play and shooting. He came out ready to play and was blistering hot in the last game of the day. Shamar sports a soft touch near the rim and around the foul line, and he's a prodigious force attacking off the bounce. He is crafty with the rock and is a high-end decision-maker in the paint. He plays very unselfishly as he doesn't mind passing up a good shot that he may have for a better shot that awaits a teammate. He is a capable lead guard with a good understanding and feel for the game.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
