Julen has a very solid skill set to finish inside-out on the floor. He showed some crafty passing skills to his teammates today. Julen understands on how to use angles and seal down on the block. He will step-out to the three-point line and knockdown the jumper. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>How far can he help lead his Warriors squad this coming season in the Upstate? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1242305' first='Michael' last='Green']</strong> - Darlington HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Green is a long and agile forward with great length. Michael will look to challenge and alter shots on the defensive end of the floor. Green can step-out to the short corner and drop an occasional jumper from time to time. He really excels on being a rim-runner on the floor and covering a lot of ground in the process for the Falcons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1989129,"width":256,"height":192,"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/E953648F-F5A5-4AFE-8CA4-542B761A17BC.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/E953648F-F5A5-4AFE-8CA4-542B761A17BC.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1989129" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1239541' first='Seth' last='Sims'] </strong>- White Knoll HS (Lexington)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sims plays the game with a lot of energy and passion around the paint. Seth is playing out of position for the Timberwolves and new Head Coach Willie Thomas. Sims plays down in the paint out of necessity and doesn't complain at all - HE JUST PLAYS THE GAME. He will rebound on both ends of the floor and has the ability to finish over bigger defenders at times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1989130,"width":256,"height":192,"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/D8DAEA55-2808-4A02-BC7A-AE004671B503.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/D8DAEA55-2808-4A02-BC7A-AE004671B503.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1989130" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1597352' first='Jaylen' last='Tillman']</strong> - Richland Northeast HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tillman has a good look to him down low on the block. Jaylen will work and carve out space to make things go his way. He tends to do his best work closer to the basket. Tillman has a good set of shoulders to bully defenders down low. Jaylen moves well with his footwork. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1989134,"width":400,"height":263,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/43CC79B0-D91E-4AEE-B1FB-93250F00EDB0-crop-2999x1970-1686642907.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/43CC79B0-D91E-4AEE-B1FB-93250F00EDB0-crop-2999x1970-1686642907.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1989134" width="400" height="263" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1173483' first='Caleb' last='Campbell']</strong> - Lexington HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Campbell was able to finish with his left-hand on a regular basis today despite being right-handed. Caleb uses his body nicely to create space down low. He shows to have good footwork on the floor while moving around the basket. Caleb works for positioning down low while playing with his back to the basket. He still needs to get stronger down the road for the college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
