Jr. Prelude: A Look Into My Notebook; Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The New Balance Jr. Prelude League tipped off in Memphis, TN, and here are some more players who made it into my notes…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2403126,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PHN-Mason-Hopkins-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PHN-Mason-Hopkins-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2403126" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Mason Hopkins</strong> (5'7/SG/'29/Arizona Grind) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: masonhopkins</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @masonhopkins0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Mason is a smooth off-guard who seems to be a magnet for the ball. The ball seems to always find him, and he knows exactly what to do with it when he gets it. Whether it's getting into the paint and scoring with a runner or a floater or dropping dimes, his play leads to production. His understanding of the game is growing, and he will be a player to keep an eye on throughout the league.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2403129,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PHN-Bryce-Kobe-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PHN-Bryce-Kobe-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2403129" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Bryce Kobe</strong> (6'1/PG/'28/DG Elite) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Brycekobe24 / dgelite_2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Brycekobe24 / @dgelitenb</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Bryce proved that he could flat-out score the rock. He is a two-way talent who is a smart and skilled lead guard. As good as he is as a prolific scorer, he does a good job managing his production as a scorer and a facilitator. He is a playmaker who plays with a lot of confidence and is a major threat with his jumper off both the catch and the dribble.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2403130,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PHN-Nicholas-Campbell-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PHN-Nicholas-Campbell-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2403130" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Nicholas Campbell </strong>(5'7/PG/'28/Florida Vipers) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: ison1ck / flvipers</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Nicholas is a lead guard who has a solid overall game. He can score from multiple levels, has range with his trey ball, and is a reliable ball-handler. Nicholas plays with pace and is sound off the bounce and showed to be a heady pick-and-roll ball-handler. He is good at getting his teammates involved and had a good overall game at the lead guard spot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2403132,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PHN-Messiah-Harris-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PHN-Messiah-Harris-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2403132" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Messiah Harris</strong> (5'3/CG/'29/Reach Legends) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: messiaharris_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Messiah is listed as a combo guard, but at 5'3 and watching him play, he is easily considered a lead guard for his squad. He is small but very shifty off the bounce, and he causes a lot of problems for defenses as he lives in the paint. Messiah has good instincts as a floor general and makes good decisions with the rock in his hands. He showed he can knock down the open three which keeps defenders having to respect his ability to score from the perimeter and off the dribble.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2403133,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PHN-Hans-Kenny-Doecelian-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PHN-Hans-Kenny-Doecelian-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2403133" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Hans Kenny Doecelian</strong> (5'6/CG/'28/SFE) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: kenny.dorcelian2028/ ugly.kenny / sfebasketball</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Dorcelian_Kenny / @sfebasketball</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Hans made his impact on the offensive end of the floor from behind the arc. He shot the ball really well and helped keep the floor spaced and driving lanes open for his backcourt teammates. He is a very good c&amp;s shooter and must be accounted for at all times.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2403135,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PHN-Tucker-Johnson-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PHN-Tucker-Johnson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2403135" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Tucker Johnson</strong> (6'0/SF/'28/Vision Elite) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: zionzovar</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tucker is an energy and effort guy who played within himself and did not try to do more than what he could. He understood his role on his team and was a solid presence on both ends of the floor. His production may not be seen in the scoring column, but it is definitely seen with his activity on the glass. He is a competitor who makes his presence felt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
