<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>This content series is sponsored by GameChanger – The Official Scorekeeping, Stats, Team Management &amp; Technology Partner of Prep Hoops.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PrepHoops came down to Atlanta this weekend for the first of two camps this fall, the Freshman Showcase always bringing together some of the top first-years in the state. This year was no different as new names emerged and top prospects battled it out. These are a couple of players that I think could be big time stars down the road. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2102283"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"I'm growing more and more fond of [player_tooltip player_id='2102283' first='Cameron' last='Cannon'] with each outing as he continues to reveal the layers of his game. He was dominant on Sunday night, directing traffic from the point and burying three-balls left and right. His IQ and feel for the game are both years beyond his age.

Chandler was aggressive on both ends of the floor, clearly a competitive edge there. He's a multi-dimensional scorer and showed it, knocking down three balls while also using his size and athleticism to get to the rim. To put it simply, this showcase provides an opportunity to raise your stock and build some buzz. Isaiah Chandler did exactly that.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2046364"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"There's already a ton of buzz around [player_tooltip player_id='2046364' first='Justin' last='Wise']'s name as he enters his freshman year and he came into the event with an astrics by his name. His performance certainly did not disappoint. Wise already has good size to play the 2 and his outside stroke is deadly. He connected on a countless number of threes on Sunday, taking open shots and shooting it efficiently too. When our first round of 2027 rankings drop in a few months, [player_tooltip player_id='2046364' first='Justin' last='Wise'] should be near the top.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"CJ Jordan","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Walton","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"CJ Jordan caught my eye before competition even started, mostly because of his intriguing body and the jumper on display in warm-ups. Jordan quickly established himself as one of the best in attendance, playing positions 1-5 while showcasing a healthy mix of scoring and playmaking. He was confident attacking from the perimeter and his passing instincts really shined when defenses collapsed. He'll definitely be one to monitor at Walton in coming years.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Ben Howery","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Galloway","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"TSF","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Ben Howery certainly left his mark on the minds of evaluators, easily one of the most dynamic scorers at Sunday's event. His shot creation ability was clear to see, able to create space for his jumper or get to the hole. Howery has a strong build and often used it to bully smaller guards on the drive. We also saw some glimpses of bounce when Howery got up for a few one-hand slams. He's entering his freshman year at Galloway where I imagine he'll compete for minutes right away.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64da45543aef8"} /-->
