Top Heavy of Talent Here Today:
Treyvon Maddox Treyvon Maddox 6'7" | SF Gray Collegiate | 2025 State #81 Nation SC , Jordan Watford Jordan Watford 6'4" | CG Lancaster | 2025 State #180 Nation SC and Hayden Assemian Hayden Assemian 6'8" | PF Powdersville | 2025 State #186 Nation SC were all in attendance here today at the Phenom Memorial Day Classic. These 3 players make up the Top 3 in the 2025 Palmetto State Class Rankings.
Maddox the number #1 player in the 2025 Palmetto State Class has really done a nice job of working on his perimeter skills from behind the three-point line. Maddox a rangy athlete was all over the floor today with his play. He showed off his skill set from passing, handling the rock and shooting the ball today. Maddox really looks to work to defend and does a good job of playing active in the passing lanes. Treyvon attends Gray Collegiate in West Columbia.
Watford is another piece of the Lancaster HS Bruins program and currently ranks #2 in the 2025 Palmetto State Class. Watford will take a charge on call at times it seems. Jordan really showed off his crafty passing skills and playing extremely unselfish all day long. He really shows a variety of ways to score the ball if it’s a floater, nice pull-up jumper in transition or stalking the baseline at times.
Assemian has been running all spring long with CP3 a Nike sponsored program on the Grassroots Circuit. Hayden played this past season at Legacy Early College and since has returned to Powdersville HS for next year. Assemian is a force down low with his ability to finish down low with either hand. He really does a great job of receiving everything thrown in his direction with his excellent hands. Hayden runs the floor and fills the lane in transition very well.
Thompson and King Making Strides:
Tristan Thompson Tristan Thompson 6'5" | SF Wilson | 2025 State #339 Nation SC and Amarii King Amarii King 6'3" | PG Cardinal Newman | 2025 State SC have really seemed to pickup their games here this spring on the Grassroots Circuit. Thompson was able to finish around the rim while showing great versatility on the floor. Tristan who attends Wilson HS (Florence) rebounds the rock on both ends of the floor and has no problems defending anyone when called on to do so.
King really showed his shooting today and really started to make some shots from behind the arc. Amarri is a very tough nosed player who always seems to be right in the middle of things while on the floor. He will take a charge on command or jump on the floor for a loose ball with no slight hesitation. Amarii finished through contact on several occasions here today.
Who Else Played Well Here Today at the Phenom MDC?:
Malachi Cooper Malachi Cooper 6'2" | SG Ridge View | 2025 State SC has had a good spring on the Grassroots Circuit with Upward Stars Columbia Portee. Cooper who attends Ridge View HS was able to finish several buckets on the left-side of the rim despite being right-handed. Malachi really likes to use the ball-screen at times to advance the rock to the basket. He connected on several perimeter jumpers with his ability to knockdown shots.
Tanner Macy Tanner Macy 6'1" | SG May River | 2025 State SC plays down in the Lowcountry at May River HS. Macy a multi-sport athlete was here running with Elite Basketball today. Tanner made every shot he seemed to fire up today in a game vs EA Prep All-Stars.
Amare Anderson Amare Anderson 6'2" | PG Greer | 2025 State SC continues to have a good spring with Team Charlotte UAA 2025 on the Grassroots Circuit.
