SCBCA Live Team Camp: First Impressions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was in Rock Hill on Friday and Saturday for the SCBCA Live Team Camp. Let's take a look at some players that I got to see live for the first time who we're impressive: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1168160' first='Caden' last='Giles']</strong> - Nation Ford High School</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2023877,"width":425,"height":279,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/eZy-Watermark_18-06-2023_07-50-39-6320AM-crop-1280x841-1687093576.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/eZy-Watermark_18-06-2023_07-50-39-6320AM-crop-1280x841-1687093576.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2023877" width="425" height="279" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Giles is a very exciting 2024 Prospect for the Falcons. With his extreme size and length, Caden dominates the paint on both ends. He has nice touch around the basket and great fundamentals as well. Giles was a beast for Nation Ford last season, averaging 8.5 PPG, 7.7 RPG, and 3.3 BPG, the latter being one of the higher numbers in the state. This spring he received offers from McNeese State and the US Merchant Academy, but I fully expect that list to grow before the start of the High School Season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1330680' first='Nas' last='Berry']</strong> - Fort Mill High School</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2023879,"width":425,"height":279,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/eZy-Watermark_18-06-2023_07-49-27-4450AM-crop-1280x841-1687093734.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/eZy-Watermark_18-06-2023_07-49-27-4450AM-crop-1280x841-1687093734.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2023879" width="425" height="279" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1330680' first='Nas' last='Berry'] is a 2025 Scoring CG from Fort Mill High School that can heat up quickly. I got to see him for the First Time against West Ashley on Saturday and he did just that. He hit a 10-foot runner and then 2 3's all in a 2:00 Minute Span to help boost the Yellow Jackets to a win in the SCBCA Live Team Camp. Other than that, Berry had a consistent game. Played solid defense, got his teammates involved, and got to the rim frequently. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2105075' first='Ethan' last='Mays']</strong> - Lower Richland High School</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2022910,"width":427,"height":280,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/eZy-Watermark_16-06-2023_09-00-28-6890PM-crop-1280x841-1686975238.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/eZy-Watermark_16-06-2023_09-00-28-6890PM-crop-1280x841-1686975238.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2022910" width="427" height="280" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mays was a player that surprised me with his performance Thursday Afternoon. He put up 14 Points and 8 Rebounds for the Diamond Hornets in their win over Fort Dorchester. Ethan has great fundamentals, using his footwork and soft touch around the rim on the offensive end and great hands to control the boards on the defensive end. Alongside [player_tooltip player_id='1466165' first='Alex' last='Atkinson'], Mays helps form one of the better Traditional Frontcourts in the Columbia Area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1911562' first='Charlie' last='Streetman']</strong> - Woodmont High School</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2022912,"width":426,"height":280,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/eZy-Watermark_16-06-2023_09-01-50-3270PM-crop-1062x698-1686975802.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/eZy-Watermark_16-06-2023_09-01-50-3270PM-crop-1062x698-1686975802.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2022912" width="426" height="280" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Charlie might not have scored a whole lot, but he did everything else for the Wildcats in an impressive win over Spring Valley on Day 1. He had 8 Rebounds and 5 Assists, showing off a high level of Basketball IQ and Athleticism. Streetman very well could be the glue that holds together a Woodmont team that has the potential to shock some people in the Upstate. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2024465' first='Zakarion' last='Simpson'] </strong>- Laurens High School</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2022921,"width":426,"height":280,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/eZy-Watermark_17-06-2023_12-36-12-5040AM-crop-1280x841-1686976656.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/eZy-Watermark_17-06-2023_12-36-12-5040AM-crop-1280x841-1686976656.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2022921" width="426" height="280" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite being just a Rising Freshman and only 6'3", Zakarion might have been one of the best rebounders in the gym on Friday. He had 14 Rebounds to go with 3 Blocks in Laurens' win over May River. This is definitely a mouth-watering prospect for the future of Coach Armond Flood's Raider Basketball Team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1444327' first='Jarius' last='Davis']</strong> - South Florence High School</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2023881,"width":423,"height":278,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/eZy-Watermark_16-06-2023_09-04-57-1910PM-crop-1280x841-1687093863.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/eZy-Watermark_16-06-2023_09-04-57-1910PM-crop-1280x841-1687093863.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2023881" width="423" height="278" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I got to see [player_tooltip player_id='1444327' first='Jarius' last='Davis'] for the first time in person on Friday at the SCBCA Live Team Camp after hearing good things from his time at the USC Team Camp and with [program_tooltip program_id='2078752' first='Upward' last='Stars'] Pee Dee this spring. Davis is exactly what coaches are looking for in a Combo Guard. Good size, length, and athleticism, and can get his own shot. He had 9 Points in a Win over White Knoll, but also made his presence known on the defensive end with 2 Blocks and 1 Steal. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
