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 Second Team All-Camp selections:
We’ve witnessed the development of Benbo as a lead guard this off-season and that continued to take place at WOU. The senior effectively used his strength and athleticism to get into the lane and create, and hit enough shots from the perimeter to keep the defense honest.
As usual, Grady knocked down open threes but he also made a concerted effort to create off the dribble and get to the basket, where he was also a factor on the offensive glass. The junior forward may not be the most athletic guy around but he definitely makes the most out of what he has.
There’s one thing you’ll always get out of Hardges and that’s motor and energy, and that’s exactly what the senior brought on the court on Sunday. He converted a number of hard drives to the hoop, finishing in a variety of ways, and really got after it on the defensive end.
Arguably the best big man in attendance, Holum was aggressive attacking the basket and finished a number of powerful two-handed flushes. He ran the floor, was strong on the boards – especially on the offensive end, and played tough defensively.
Townsend has the ability to impact the game with both his scoring and passing and the former was particularly on display at camp. The senior was sharp with his perimeter shooting and made a number of plays both for himself and others getting to the hoop.
