Did not play in the 2024 Championship Game. Parker was given a little cursory burn in the semifinal (0:50). Pounds projects as a point guard. Decent speed with the ball. Plays with his head up and keenly aware of the off-ball movement. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#97 [player_tooltip player_id='2118261' first='Braylin' last='Davis'] (USN)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2118261' first='Braylin' last='Davis'] enjoyed his breakout season with a below average USN team (9-16), regularly scoring in double digits. Braylin exceled at a previous <a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/08/prephoopstn-combine-evaluations-part-v-2/">@PrepHoopsTN Summer Combine.</a> His agility is a strength. Unclear if he is a future point guard or two-guard. Rebounds well on the offensive end. He averaged around 1.0 apg this year for USN. First step quickness is a plus.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BraylinDavis_/status/1751372735773593933?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BraylinDavis_/status/1751372735773593933?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#98 [player_tooltip player_id='2253906' first='Will' last='Beaty'] (York Institute)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Skilled. Will found playing time with York both last year as a freshman and this winter as a sophomore. Beaty plays with exciting agility or 6-foot-4 though he could get up to top speed quicker. Beaty projects as an athletic wing, one with the ability to stretch the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#99 [player_tooltip player_id='1766453' first='Marcus' last='Butler Jr']. (Houston)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Butler Jr. was a rotational player for a pretty decent Houston squad. He came off of the bench. Good strength. Strong legs. Butler can hit the three-pointer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#100 [player_tooltip player_id='2202819' first='Kamden' last='Murray'] (West Creek)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kamden is a plus-rebounder. Performed well at the PrepHoops 250 Expo way back in September 2023. In truth, Kamden is more forward than guard right now. Still, he displays enough lower-body balance and strength to project out as a 2-3 eventually. The height is an advantage (6-foot-3). Needs better handle. Catch-and-shoot is his best skill at this point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
