Made Hoops Next Up Camp: Day 2 Observations

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a brand new batch of players who performed we:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dillon Adomanis | 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'7 forward displayed skill when he was knocking down pick-and-pop threes and attacking the basket off of closeouts. He put in some work as a rim runner as well, setting or slipping screens before getting downhill.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2113411' first='Nasir' last='Barnes'] | 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Swiftly getting to his spots off-the-bounce, Barnes efficiently knifed into the lane, tilting the defense. Conversely, he used his quickness with the ball in his hands to create the negative space for pull-up threes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2201951' first='Jacob' last='Canton'] | 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He tried to set the table for others in the camp's unstructured environment, but when it was winning time, Canton generated advantages for himself. Him getting to step-back triple after step-back triple was often his team's most potent offense.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nolan Diba | 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The best defender in the building, Diba locked down the point-of-attack while many others were just focused on getting buckets. He refused to be screened, beat his man to spots laterally and contested shots without fouling.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2340825' first='Liberty' last='Fusire'] | 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With his strong lower half, Fusire's crisp footwork allowed him to put pressure on the rim no matter where he caught the ball in the paint. And, with his huge catch radius, he snatched down every rebound imaginable.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2445866' first='Mateo' last='Rico'] | 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Once Rico really got going, he flashed a number of skills necessary to anchor a defense. He covered ground to clean up threats that came from the second-side and slid his feet surprisingly well when switched on to guards.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1494086' first='Isaiah' last='Skinn'] | 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No one forced as many turnovers on-ball and scored in transition as much Skinn did. And when he had to face set defenses, he used his wiggle to manipulate defenders and put two feet in the paint.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1729833' first='Jermel' last='Thomas'] | 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas was a showman and a maestro in big moments. With no fear of who was guarding him, he threw perfectly timed bounce passes to teammates on the move for assists and made difficult passes look easy while cooking for himself off-the-dribble.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Follow me on IG and Twitter @ CGraham_Sports</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
