He was among the best from behind the arc throughout the tourney, regardless of class. He has a quick release and does not need a lot of space to get his shot off. He has to be accounted for every second he is on the court because his shooting can change the course of a game in a heartbeat.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2402589,"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/PH-Jharvay-DeRamus-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PH-Jharvay-DeRamus-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2402589" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2412194' first='Jharvay' last='DeRamus'] </strong>(6'0/PG/'27/Guard Your Man) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Iso_Vay</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @[player_tooltip player_id='2412194' first='Jharvay' last='DeRamus'] / @guard_your_man</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jharvay is a lead guard who is a three-range weapon. He is streaky from the perimeter, but when he gets hot, there is no cooling him off anytime soon. He is a lead guard with game management skills. Despite being a young budding floor general, he has good court vision, a developing feel for the game, and the capacity to read the floor and make heady decisions.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2402592,"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/PH-Trayvon-Pannell-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PH-Trayvon-Pannell-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2402592" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2286872' first='Trayvon' last='Pannell'] </strong>(6'2/PG/'28/[program_tooltip program_id='2076576' first='Pro' last='One'] UAA) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: 1ce1ray / proonebc</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @TrayvonPannell5 / @Pro1Basketball</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Trayvon is an 8th-grader playing up who showed a lot of promise at BamaJam. I was really impressed with his high-level play and the brilliant, mature floor game he put on display. He has bounce to his game and is quick off the bounce, quick off the floor, and an athletic finisher above the rim. He is an aggressive playmaker off the bounce and a dangerous three-range weapon. His game is beyond his years, and despite being young, he has a really good handle and impressive footwork. He showed he can faciliate the offense, but make no mistake about it, he showed a high level scoring prowess, which no one in the game I saw could stop him.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2402593,"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/PH-Christopher-Kunard-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PH-Christopher-Kunard-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2402593" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2294701' first='Christopher' last='Kunard'] </strong>(6'3/PG/'25/Rocket City Suns) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @ChrisJKunard / @RocketCitySuns</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Chris is a lead guard with good positional size. He is a lefty who is very quick and tough off the bounce, does a good job creating offense off the dribble, and has a ton of pace to his game. He creates his own shot and does a good job creating scoring opportunities for his teammates with the pressure he puts on the defense off the dribble. He is an instinctive player with the ball in his hands and has a pretty good PG IQ. He is a capable passer and a guard who can rebound his position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2402595,"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/PH-DeShawn-Flannigan-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PH-DeShawn-Flannigan-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2402595" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>De'Shawn Flannigan </strong>(6'4/F/'25/Team Dr1ven) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Shawnmade23_ / Teamdr1ven_2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @ShawnGotHoops / @Teamdr1ven_2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">De'Shawn is a forward who brought a lot of energy and effort to the floor. His athleticism is seen in his play on both ends of the floor. He rebounds at a high rate, and despite only being 6'4, he does a good job protecting the rim on the defensive end with his ability to get off the floor, along with excellent timing on his jumps. He is on a squad with some of the best scorers in Alabama, so he did a good job in playing his role and impacting the game with what he does best: hitting the boards and being an interior presence on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2402596,"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/PH-Anthony-Austin-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/PH-Anthony-Austin-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2402596" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Anthony Austin </strong>(6'5/PF|C/'26/Ballnetic) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: austin_a503440</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @AnthonyAus50304</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Anthony is a stout frontcourt player who proved to be a strong finisher in the paint and above the rim. He plays a physical brand of basketball and does not mind mixing it up on the inside. He is a bouncy finisher who likes to rise and finish over contesting defenders. The strength of his game is on the inside, and he brings a level of toughness to his squad on the interior.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
