Sandy’s Spiel Spring Showcase: Standout Sophomores

Stephen garnered positive reviews from camp coaches. He has wiry length, good size, electric athleticism and a smooth skill set. Cameron is great at creating separation. He has the ball on a string and will use moves to freeze defenders when getting downhill or seamlessly transition into a pull-up three. Stephen has a monster breakout season ahead of him. He can flat out score.

Bryant put on for the small schools, coming out of Manchester to showcase his elite athleticism and knack for playmaking. Daryus plays super hard. He sits down to defend and doesn’t give up on plays, tracking down opponents to block their shot or poke away steals. Daryus has a long crossover that he rips through and bursts to the rim with. He saw the floor and didn’t take many bad shots. He’s a sneaky good two-way player to track.

Knock. Down. Shooter. Kolby Watson Kolby Watson 6'4″ | SF Banks County | 2025 State GA filled it up from all three levels with his jumper. Watson could score in the post on turnarounds, get to spots in the mid-range and of course, drill deep threes. He wasn’t as quick or athletic as some other guards in camp, but his knowledge of how to create space with step backs, use his size to his advantage and catch defenders off balance when attacking the hoop led him to great success.

Big body wing did a little bit of everything. Crowder can rebound and push the ball up the floor. He can get to the hole and use his strength to convert through fouls. He showed a soft touch on the perimeter. Dontae has a chance to be an invaluable defender, capable of covering 1-5. Crowder has a nice ceiling and strong physical tools.

Crafty. Thrasher Wilkins Thrasher Wilkins 6'0″ | CG North Oconee | 2025 State GA is crafty. He implements head fakes, ball fakes, jab steps and more to find weaknesses in defenders. Wilkins is a very good shooter, tough with one and two-dribble pull-ups but will also drill threes off the catch. Thrasher is a pesky defender that can sneak up on opponents with his athleticism.

Dunbar logged a solid day of work. He’s every bit of 6-foot-4 if not a true 6-foot-5. He rebounds very well and plays with balance in the paint. Charlie can help space the floor with his perimeter shot and can put the ball on the deck to get to the rim. Dunbar is a stingy defender in the post.

Sharpshooting state champ was peppering the defense with his outside shot. He nailed deep threes with his compact stroke but also made plays with the dribble as he found cracks in the defense. Jaydon helped handle the ball and pushed well in transition, delivering accurate passes to teammates on the run. Cole is a smart decision maker. He’s a nightmare to deal with on offense with how many ways he can beat you.
