#HuntsvilleCityClassic: Players Who Caught My Eye

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Here are a few players that made an impression, as it was the first time I saw them…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2312822,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/PH-Kedrick-Triplett-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/PH-Kedrick-Triplett-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2312822" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2389281' first='Kedrick' last='Triplett']</strong> (6'3/G|F/'24/Florence HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kedrick is a strong player with a good physical profile who makes an impact across the stat sheet. He makes his presence felt on both ends of the floor without having to be the focal point on offense, yet showing his versatility on defense. He understands his role, plays within himself, and is the glue guy on his squad. He is a relentless competitor who finishes through contact and provides production in quite a few aspects of the game. He flirts with a double-double, and one thing is for sure with Kedrick: you are going to get his best night in and night out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2312824,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/PH-Harris-Reynolds-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/PH-Harris-Reynolds-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2312824" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Harris Reynolds</strong> (6'4/PG/'26/St. Pius HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: harriis.0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Harris1reynolds</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Harris is a lengthy PG with good positional size and a nice skillset to accompany his physical profile. He impacts the game on both ends of the floor as he makes good use of his size, strength, and athleticism. He is very difficult to contain off the bounce, and he is a strong finisher at the rim, whether when he is out in transition or slashing his way to the cup out of a half-court set. He uses his size and ability to see over the defense to get quality looks at the rim and to make passes to teammates when initiating the offense. Harris showed that he can be a weapon coming off ball-screens, and as he continues to develop that area of his game, it will only help to increase his already rising stock. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2312825,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/PH-Delamarr-Blanton-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/PH-Delamarr-Blanton-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2312825" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Delamarr Blanton</strong> (6'0/PG/'24/Trotwood-Madison HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Bagfam.marr</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @DelamarrB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Delamarr is a high-volume shot-taker who is very streaky. He is very quick off the bounce and has a quick first step, which fuels his constant attacking off the bounce. He is wired to score and play uptempo, as he constantly kept his team out in transition. He can play when having to slow down the pace of the game and facilitate in the half-court, but it benefits his team when he is able to play fast and in the open court. He scores from all levels, communicates well as a floor-general, and isn't afraid to take high-pressure shots in crucial moments as he did on day one against Bob Jones, as he hit a trey to tie the game with under a minute left in regulation.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">He listed the following offer: Radford.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2312826,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/PH-Harry-Malone-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/PH-Harry-Malone-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2312826" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2291528' first='Harry' last='Malone'] </strong> (6'0/CG/'25/Austin HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Harry.hucho.256</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Harry_malone15</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Harry showed that he could score the rock from multiple levels. He shot the ball very well from behind the arc and was able to create buckets off the bounce. He is shifty in the open floor and has crafty takes to the rack where he showed his ability to finish at a high rate. He has a two-way attacking style as he pressures defenders off the bounce offensively, and he pressures ball-handlers defensively. He can play with the ball in his hands, but he was at his best when he had the freedom to create, use his instincts, and look for his offense.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2312827,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/PH-Jason-Williams-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/PH-Jason-Williams-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2312827" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2389287' first='Jason' last='Williams']</strong> (6'4/PF/'24/Columbia HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jason was an interior presence who made his presence felt on both ends of the floor. He has ok positional size for the high school game and can bang at the 4-spot, as a traditional PF. He gets off the floor quickly, which helps him when challenging shots and being dominant on the glass at times. He has good timing and instincts. Offensively, he does a good job finishing in the paint and around the rim. He is extremely efficient as he makes the most of his scoring opportunities, and he flirts with double-digit rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Carter Ezell</strong> (6'2/CG/'26/Centennial HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: carterezell11</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @carterezell11</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Carter is a solid backcourt player who is young but has a game beyond his years. He is tough off the bounce, as he does a good job getting to his spots and making plays for himself and his teammates. When he gets two feet in the lane, he has a soft touch with his runners and floaters. He is a really good decision-maker in tight spaces, proving his trustworthiness when the ball is in his hands. He is an efficient scorer, a willing defender, and competes on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
