Ben Gregg Elite Camp – More Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were a lot of talented players at the first-ever Ben Gregg Elite Camp - ones both familiar and brand new to our eyes. We've covered our All-Camp Team, so here's a look at some of other guys there at Clackamas High School who made an impression.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1450157' first='Gylan' last='Payne'] (2025 Oregon City)</strong> - One of the few rising seniors in attendance, Payne impressed with his athleticism - he was one of the participants in the fun slam dunk contest - and all-around skills with the basketball. He contributed with his scoring, passing, and rebounding no matter who he was paired with in the drills and scrimmages.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2204992' first='Jaiden' last='Pickett'] (2025 Nelson)</strong> - Another of the rising seniors at camp was Pickett and the recent transfer from Putnam proved to be a tough cover as well. The 6-foot-1 guard attacked the basket with his athleticism and made some nice finishes around the rim, while also stepping out and hitting jumpers with his smooth lefty shooting stroke.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1582934' first='Jeremiah' last='Pichon'] (2026 Gresham)</strong> - The recent transfer from Cleveland showed off a nice floor game in the action where we saw him play. The rising junior made good decisions with the basketball, especially in transition, shot the ball fairly well and was able to get where he wanted to off the bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2026058' first='Elijah' last='Thompson'] (2027 Southridge) </strong>- We've always been impressed with how Thompson plays the game the right way - it doesn't matter if he's in an actual high school game or if it's in more of a scrimmage setting like it was at camp. The rising sophomore guard knocked down shots, played unselfishly, and got after it on the defensive end, making plays that led to wins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2026062' first='RJ' last='Barhoum'] (2027 Clackamas) </strong>- Hitting the long ball will always be the calling card for Barhoum and he certainly nailed his share of deep shots at camp. But the rising 6-foot-4 sophomore also used some moves off the dribble to create his own shot and had some crafty finishes around the hoop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Aazzee Breaux (2027 Clackamas) </strong>- Standing 6-foot-5 with great length and athleticism, Breaux immediately stood out amongst the crowd at camp with his dunks, high-flying rebounds, and ability to block shots. The Clackamas newcomer who moved in from California is still a little raw offensively, but the tools are there. He's a newcomer to definitely keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132803' first='Richad' last='Hudson'] (2027 Grant) </strong>- A bulldog of a lead guard, Hudson was very aggressive in looking to get into the lane to create plays for himself and his teammates. The rising sophomore has a very physical build which allowed him to absorb plenty of contact while finishing on his drives.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sufyan Carter (2028 Benson) </strong>- This was our first look at Carter, who's older brother started in the post for the Techmen last season. The rising freshman is actually a point guard at 6-feet tall who showed good control of the basketball and a nice pull-up jumper in the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2766280' first='Kellen' last='Woods'] (2028 West Linn)</strong> - We weren't aware of Woods before the event but he caught our eye when he started draining shots from deep. Certainly a young shooter whose progress you'll want to follow starting this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
