Middlebury College Elite Camp: Top Prospects Pt. 2/2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The second batch of the top prospects from Middlebury Elite camp is full of perimeter play. Tap in!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Charles Rimon, 6'2 G - HB Woodlawn, VA Class of 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With Charlie, he made it clear quickly just how hard he plays. Rimon hustled for boards and loose balls, rotated swiftly, and took immense pride in his defense, proving to be a top perimeter defender in the gym. Additionally, Charlie glued the offense together with his quick decision making, smart passing, and advantageous slashing + shooting. Rimon's hardnosed, swiss-army knife approach stitched the team together. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1709794' first='Cage' last='Van Norman'], 6'1 G - Loyola Prep, LA Class of 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a world where PG's are dwindling, Cage showed a floor general's mentality. Van Norman took care of the ball, fed teammates, and kept the offense flowing. Plus, he showed he's a capable slasher and separator, able to get into the second layer for short-range finishes and kick outs. A solid on-ball defender and rotator, Cage put together a solid outing on both sides. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Derin Ongur, 6'2 G - Lexington, MA Class of 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Probably the purest shooter in the camp, Derin Ongur set the nets ablaze. Ongur won the camp 3-point contest and his smooth stroke remained steady in 5v5. Yet it wasn't just shooting. Derin read closeouts well and put up shot fakes to lose defenders, where he then slashed and passed to keep the defense scrambling, often providing easy looks for teammates. Derin's shooting + passing was on point and his team defense solid. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2116726' first='Alden' last='Doran'], 6'7 W - South Kent School, CT Class of 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A sizable wing with a nice stroke, Alden is someone with solid upside. His height is obvious, and paired with his smooth shooting and defensive versatility, Doran made serious impact. He hit shots at each level, both in his own creation and by getting to spots off-ball. Plus, with his agility and size, he was able to cover 2-5, giving wings and forwards trouble. High ceiling. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1532500' first='James' last='Lyon'], 6'1 G - Belmont Hill, MA Class of 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The combo-guard showed flashes of his facilitation and scoring touch. James was steady in his orchestration of the offense, taking care of the rock and moving the ball to keep everyone involved. Plus, Lyon was crafty when puncturing the second layer, often using nice footwork to set up easy feeds or clean looks for himself in the mid to short range. Aware defensively, James proved to be a steady two-way presence. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
