Suncoast Basketball Club notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>IMG Academy and Suncoast Basketball Club partnered to bring hundreds of juniors and seniors to their camps for two days of competition. While campers showed off their talents, coaches from all levels sat courtside to evaluate their talents. After talking with coaches and reviewing my notes, here are some of the top performers from Saturday's season. Here's part 1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reagan Cornish</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior guard showed off an electric handle and high-level shooting. Whether of the catch or dribble, Harrington is a knockdown shooter from every spot beyond the arc. His skill set allows him to play on and off the ball, but he shines with the rock in his hands. He can create space for himself, get to the rim, and create scoring opportunities for others with his gravity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1631264"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65246652ecd60"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sessoms is a talented lead guard who didn't force the action, but his presence was felt in every game. He's an explosive athlete who finishes above the rim as a one and two-foot leaper. Sessoms is armed with next-level court vision and a high level of passing acumen, allowing him to push the offense in the halfcourt and full-court. The senior shot the ball well from all levels, showcasing three-level scoring. Sessoms never forced action during the setting and was a willing passer and playmaker for others</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Miguel Jusino</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jusino is an athletic 6'3 guard who flashed a pull-up jumper and a motor. The senior is a consistent finisher in traffic and plays well off the ball. He's shown the ability to take opponents off the dribble to score at the rim, and that skill will only improve as his handle develops.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ariel Lopez</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'5 guard is a two-threat who scores from the midrange down. He has a consistent midrange jumper, and it's near-automatic when going left. Lopez racks up deflections on the defensive end with his quickness, anticipation, and long arms. He uses his size to carve out a spot around the rim against smaller guards and has the strength to finish through contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Levi Rutledge</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'6 combo forward can stretch the floor and rebound. He has a nose for the ball and manages to get a hand on any rebound in his area with his length and feel. Rutledge is a consistent shooter from beyond the arc, especially in the corner. He has a great frame that may feel out over the next year with IMG post-grad. Rutledge was a late bloomer coming out of Texas. This may be where his breakout comes as he develops and plays with more talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
