Jamarie has a nice mid-range game and really shows to have good elevation on his jumper. Brown excels in the transition and watch out at times he might just drop one on your head coming down the lane. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1990579,"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/2/2023/06/757AFB3A-B5E5-4879-81F7-171D0EF9ED67.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/757AFB3A-B5E5-4879-81F7-171D0EF9ED67.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1990579" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1214181' first='Justin' last='Skelton']</strong> - Spring Valley HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Skelton will have to pick up his game from last year for the Vikings this coming season. Justin has a knack to score the ball from all 3 levels on the floor. He has the ability to create his own shot when needed on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1990578,"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/2/2023/06/742C0174-AC5C-4D32-8D34-449B6752C3EE.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/742C0174-AC5C-4D32-8D34-449B6752C3EE.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1990578" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1154121' first='Connor' last='Cannon']</strong> - Fox Creek HS (North Augusta) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cannon might play off the ball a bit more this season for the Predators and Head Coach Andrew Peckham. Connor a versatile guard can defend multiple positions on the floor. He gives you the option as ball-handler up the floor at times. Connor has been a mainstay for the Predators over the years in the Western part of the Palmetto State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1990583,"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/DA54EFAC-3429-4971-B871-3D36AAC1FB34.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/DA54EFAC-3429-4971-B871-3D36AAC1FB34.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1990583" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1168159' first='Zyan' last='Hager']</strong> - Catawba Ridge HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hager really uses his body well to find off defenders on the way to the cup at times. Zyan likes to set up shop at times out on behind the three-point line. He has seemed to added muscle to his frame and looks to be playing both guard positions at times for the Copperheads. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1990582,"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/2/2023/06/36BA62AD-B674-4614-A232-1959C8D21148.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/36BA62AD-B674-4614-A232-1959C8D21148.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1990582" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1678545' first='Kayzzin' last='McDowell']</strong> - Byrnes HS (Duncan) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McDowell has had a good spring on the Grassroots Circuit and so far, a solid June showing. Kayzzin certainly will be a Stock-Riser down the road in the new Palmetto State Rankings later this month and early July. McDowell was spot on today with his perimeter shooting from downtown. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1088708' first='Caleb' last='Jenkins']</strong> - Sumter HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jenkins is the floor leader for the Gamecocks and Head Coach Bryan Brown. Caleb surely isn't big in height but, he makes up for it with determination. He does a good job of touching the paint and getting the ball into the gaps. Jenkins has the ability to knockdown open shots. Caleb really keeps the low to the floor and rarely turns it over. Don't let the size scare you at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1990581,"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/2/2023/06/284D4FB9-D91C-4DD7-AA9A-6AAF55987A06.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/284D4FB9-D91C-4DD7-AA9A-6AAF55987A06.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1990581" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1444152' first='Coulter' last='Bell']</strong> - Lexington HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bell came out on fire today with his perimeter shooting. Coulter showed to have good shot selection all day long. He never looked to force shots and while being productive. Coukter plays best off the ball and at times will showcase the elbow jumper to his arsenal. He's a key piece to an already very talented Wildcats team this coming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
