The competition was fierce as all of these players looked to make an impression on the Wolves coaching staff, namely head coach Wes Pifer and associate head coach Bryan Fisher. After looking at our notes and talking with others who were in attendance, here’s a look at our First Team All-Camp selections:
We weren’t keeping track of individual stats during the event but we wouldn’t be surprised one bit if Canalin led everyone in assists. The senior point guard was in control of the game whenever he had the basketball, knowing when to drive and kick to open shooters or nail an open teammate cutting to the hoop. While his shot wasn’t falling consistently, he more than made up for it with his passing and ballhawking on the defensive end.
Highlights
The only member of the 2025 class on our first team, Kilfoil had quite the day in Monmouth. He was laser sharp with his jumpshot, both off the catch and shoot and using his crafty dribble moves for pull-ups or flurries into the lane for finishes. Overall, the junior played hard just like every time we’ve seen him play this summer and he put in some solid work on the defensive end as well.
Highlights
Sutherland really started to turn heads right during the drills. In addition to using his strong body, athleticism, and patented Eurostep to get to the hoop and get buckets, he started to drain wide open threes from the wing as well. He didn’t get as many opportunities during the games but seemingly made the most out of every one that he got.
Highlights
Another guy who simply had his shot on automatic on Saturday was Westermeyer. At some points the senior lefty seemed to score on possession after possession, whether it was dropping daggers from beyond the arc or getting into the lane and finishing with floaters. Westermeyer used his 6-foot-6 size and length to help out on the boards and was an active defender too.
One of the most talented offensive players in the camp was White and he put it all on display. Barely anyone could keep up with his quick first step to the hoop as he glided and used his athleticism and hang time to finish around the rim. At times, the senior got hot from three-point range and was able to hit jumpers on the move, specifically using his step-back. Out of everyone who came into the camp without an offer, we could see White potentially earning one from his performance.
