#PHTop250ExpoGA: A Look Into Team 1

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">I had a chance to evaluate Team 1 at the #PHTop250ExpoGA, and here are my thoughts on the squad and their performance…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2243318,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Jackson-McVeyT250.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Jackson-McVeyT250.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2243318" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1386104' first='Jackson' last='McVey'] </strong>(7'0/C/'25/Gilmer) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: jacksonmcvey</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @jacksonmcvey</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jackson was probably the biggest player in camp, standing at 7'0. Now, there is no need for me to go into his dominance on the boards and on the defensive end of the floor as a rim protector. Outside of his dominance in the areas just mentioned, the intangibles and skills that Jackson showed were good footwork on the low block, vision and passing skills from the high post, an okay ability to handle in the open court, and a nice turn-around jump shot that was almost impossible to contest. Jackson will have to get stronger as he was pushed around a lot and, at times, didn't fight back or offer any resistance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2243320,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/PH-Brennen-Dooley.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/PH-Brennen-Dooley.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2243320" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Brennen Dooley </strong>(6'2/G/'25/Mountain View HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Brennen did a good job initiating the offense and being a floor general.

He got into the lane quite often and fully displayed his floater game. He has end-to-end speed that kept defenders on their heels, and when he saw openings to the cup, he showed his burst off the bounce. He is explosive with the rock in his hands and is a good decision-maker when creating off-the-bounce.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2243329,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/PH-Christian-Cooper.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/PH-Christian-Cooper.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2243329" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Christian Cooper </strong>(5'10/G/'26/Johns Creek HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: christian1coop</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Christian is a lead guard who had an aggressive mindset from the first tip, which carried over to the last buzzer. He pushed the tempo and had his team out in transition every time he got the rock. His blow-by-speed helped him get into the heart of the defense and helped him to draw fouls in which he found himself getting to the lines and converting And-1 buckets. He is a young guard who thrived in transition.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2243331,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/PH-Emmanuel-Jones.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/PH-Emmanuel-Jones.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2243331" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1543562' first='Emmanuel' last='Jones'] </strong>(5'9/G/'26/Wheeler HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"> Emmanuel brought energy and effort to the floor and really had a good day on the defensive end of the floor.

He is a physical wing player who spent a lot of time battling inside and on the glass. He was aggressive off the bounce and was getting downhill as he accelerated quickly in the open court after boarding and starting the break. He had a very business-like approach throughout the day as he played tough, was a highly active rebounder, and was a willing defender. Again, he has the physical measurables and has to continue honing his skillset.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
