Tennessee Jam: Sunday’s notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tennessee prospects ended the weekend on a high note in Hoopseen's Tennessee Jam event at the Memphis Sports and Events Center. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's the best from Sunday:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Great situation for Henderson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[program_tooltip program_id='2078775' first='Tennessee' last='Tigers'] 17U point guard <strong>Rodney</strong> <strong>Henderson</strong> <strong>III</strong> had a solid weekend for the program. In a close defeat to [program_tooltip program_id='2078772' first='Team' last='Thad'] 17U EYCL, Henderson had 20 points and five assists. The 6-foot-1 lefty did a great job of attacking the rim, pushing the basketball in transition and making the extra pass. Henderson plays with high energy on both ends of the floor. The effort is always there. Henderson is a floor general that's willing to make the right basketball play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Great plug-in</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Small forward <strong>Kamden</strong> <strong>Days</strong> is a great pickup for the [program_tooltip program_id='2078775' first='Tennessee' last='Tigers'] 17U team. At 6-5, Days brings length and athleticism. The Pope John Paul II product is a good rim runner, very active on the glass, and provides spacing thanks to his ability to make shots from the perimeter. Against [program_tooltip program_id='2078772' first='Team' last='Thad'] EYCL, Days had 11 points and 13 rebounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brittman has something you can't teach</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jarmon</strong> <strong>Brittman</strong> brings toughness to the [program_tooltip program_id='2078772' first='Team' last='Thad'] EYCL team. He led the team with 20 against the [program_tooltip program_id='2078775' first='Tennessee' last='Tigers']. At 6-1, Brittman plays bigger than his size. He's a willing participant on the boards. Brittman's hunger for the basketball gives him an edge to possibly come away with a rebound. His physicality can wear guys on the opposing team out. Brittman doesn't have an ounce of quit in him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Golden opportunity for Brown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shooting guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2111745' first='Cameron' last='Brown']</strong> was solid all weekend for [program_tooltip program_id='2078772' first='Team' last='Thad']. He had 18 points in a win over [program_tooltip program_id='2080358' first='TNBC' last='Elite'] and 13 against the [program_tooltip program_id='2078775' first='Tennessee' last='Tigers']. Brown used his 6-5 frame to finish at the rim. He made shots from the perimeter. This is a great opportunity for Brown to show he's a college wing. This is a good start for the Whitehaven High product. Brown will need to keep this up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Doing the small things</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Big man <strong>Josiah</strong> <strong>Hubbard</strong> didn't fill up the stat sheet against [program_tooltip program_id='2078772' first='Team' last='Thad'], but he did other things to affect the game. He recorded four blocks and five rebounds. Whether it was [player_tooltip player_id='1352801' first='Gunnar' last='Lewis'] or [player_tooltip player_id='1259390' first='Rodney' last='Henderson'] III calling for the screen, Hubbard set solid screens for both prospects, allowing enough room and time after the screen to either hit a shooter in the corner or find him sprinting towards the rim. Hubbard has good hands and good touch at the rim. He's an unsigned senior that can play quality minutes for a program in year one as a true freshman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
