Prep Hoops Florida scouts Allen Pettigrew and Ross Van De Griek took in the festivities over the 2-day event. Here are some standouts from Day 2 of the event:
Jordyn Kee Jordyn Kee 6’5″ | CG Coranado | 2024 NV , A 6-3 senior point guard made his way back to the Sunshine State after playing last season at Legacy Early College in South Carolina. Kee displayed his creativity around the rim with his ability to score off of dribble-drives. He is a dynamic athlete who showcased great court vision on the offensive end finding open teammates as well as continuing to showcase himself as a perennial perimeter shooter. Look for Kee and 6-6 junior guard Patrick Liburd Patrick Liburd 6’5″ | SG NSU University | 2025 State #218 Nation FL to handle the primary point guard duties for Sagemont this season.
Ian Parham Ian Parham 6’4″ | SG Four Corners | 2026 State FL , A 6-5 sophomore guard seemed to fit in with Windermere Prep right away after spending last season at Calvary Christian Academy. Parham has a great feel for the game where he showcased his handle and rebounds well for his size. Parham also showcased his talent where he can score downhill while absorbing contact and was unafraid to get to the foul line.
Anthony Knowles Anthony Knowles 5’10” | CG Mater Lakes | 2025 State #93 Nation FL , A 6-0 junior point guard has been limited this fall due to an injury, but he was showcasing his creativity with and without the basketball in his hands. Knowles was showcasing his smooth jumper all weekend long at the Hoop Exchange Fall Festival where he used his ability to score off the bounce. On the defensive end, he showcased his lateral quickness as well as his versatility where he can guard multiple positions. He makes good decisions at reading the next pass on the defensive end as well.
Gustavo Roca Gustavo Roca 6’3″ | SG Windermere Prep | 2027 FL , A 6-2 freshman point guard wasn’t phased when it came to playing big minutes last weekend. Roca played under control and showcased good decisions when he had the basketball in his hands. He knocked down tough shots at the front of the rim as well as from beyond the arc with a ton of confidence. On the defensive end, he is savvy and versatile where he can guard multiple positions using his quickness and rebounds well for his size as well.
Tim Winkler, A 6-10 sophomore forward who transferred from IMG Academy to Oak Ridge back in the summer brought his multi-positional skills to display. Winkler brings good size, length and athleticism on the floor where he can knock down jump shots on the offensive end or contesting tough shots on the defensive end. He played at a great tempo on the defensive end as well as he ran the floor well out on the break. His ability to recover and cover a lot of ground has continued to improve this fall. Keep an eye on Winkler for the next three years as he continues to get stronger and play with more confidence.
