The 6-0 junior point guard was in complete control from the opening tip in the overtime loss to Edgewater. Campbell-Finch finished with a game-high 39 points and was scoring across all three levels and utilizing his aggressiveness when finishing at the rim. He was active on the defensive end as well using his versatility where he guarded multiple positions.
The 6-7 junior is an absolute stock-riser and it showed on Day 1 of the Hoop Feast. Lewis impacts the game with his strength and length on the floor getting to the front of the rim without hesitation. There is a lot of growth still left in Lewis’ game where he showed as a high-level rebounder as well as quickly pushing the basketball up the floor in transition.
The 6-7 junior was not your typical rim-runner as he does a great job of handling the basketball out on the perimeter where he can finish above the rim with a quick first step. On the defensive side, Mayfield showed his length and athleticism where he covered a lot of ground using his quickness. Seems to make an impact every time he steps onto the floor.
The 5-9 freshman point guard was just short of finishing with a double-double as he dropped 33 points and eight assists in the double-overtime win over Forest. He is starting to grow his game right before our eyes as he plays with complete maturity and has a strong IQ from the point guard position. Donald utilized his unselfishness as he made some strong, crisp passes at the rim as well as on the swing pass to open shooters out on the perimeter. Donald needs to be on most people’s radars before his freshman season comes to an end.
Highlights
The 6-2 sophomore guard is continuing to make a strong case to be a top prospect for his class. Roberts has a strong handle for the guard position and using his strength to finish off the attack. Roberts has gained more confidence and has improved his ability to score on all three levels. On the defensive side, he plays with a ton of toughness where he can handle the pressure at a high level. Roberts has received offers from Florida Gulf Coast, Stetson and Tennessee State.
Highlights
The 6-4 senior wing didn’t look back after getting off to a strong start against Alexandria (Louisiana) as he bursted for a team-high 28 points and scored in a variety of ways. Dykhuizen showed his toughness, strength and improvement of his footwork where he has the potential to make a huge impact at the next level. His unselfishness where he was making the extra pass to open teammates on the move is what stood out to me in his game.
