CoBL Camp Preview: Underclassmen Ready to Level Up

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The City of Basketball Love Underclassmen Exposure Camps are August 17th (Underclassmen) and 18th (Upperclassmen) at the 6th Man Center. Last year's underclassmen camp was highlighted by them rising sophomores (c/o 2026) prospects who took huge leaps in their development and their production once the high school season rolled around. The camp this Saturday could be a barometer for how prospects perform in the coming months. Here's a look at which 2027s could be next in line to level up:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1454260' first='Silas' last='Graham'] | 6'4 G 2027 Haverford + [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] HGSL</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Going into his third year on the varsity team, Graham has already produced at a high level for the Fords. His defensive playmaking and feel on offense were essential a season ago; and his decision-making was vital to his grassroots team's success this summer. The more on-ball reps he gets in varied contexts, the better he will be.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2419608' first='Kam' last='Jackson'] | 5'9 G 2027 Bonner-Prendie + WeR1 UAA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Having been a regular rotation player as a freshmen for the Friars, Jackson now entrenched as a starter headed into the fall. His quickness with the ball in his hands makes him a prime candidate to be their table setter. But with the team being so young, he could earn even more responsibility with consistent displays of his two-way talent and intangibles.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1406896' first='Marvin' last='Reed'] | 5'11 G 2027 Malvern Prep + [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reed started at point guard during his freshman season, but that was alongside a prolific scorer who the MP Friars now have to replace. In order to fill that void, he'll have to do it in his own way. Reed's blazing speed on both ends is hard to keep up. So his ability to think the game at whatever pace he plays at will be crucial.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2145579' first='Matthew' last='Tollerson-Irby'] | 5'10 G 2027 Dock Mennonite + [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] 3SSB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a standout grassroots season with PSB Philly then K-Low, Tollerson-Irby is making the transition from Bonner-Prendie. He adds fluidity off-the-bounce as a playmaker who can stop-and-pop in the mid-range. If he can handle the usage and extra attention, the Pioneers could slot him right in as their lead guard on offense.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2194468' first='Naz' last='Tyler'] | 6'2 G 2027 Father Judge + [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] 3SSB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It didn't take long for Tyler to make an impact at Judge with how well he shot the ball from deep. The Crusaders surprised people last season and are projected as one of the top teams in the area this year. They have no shortage of three-point firepower, but with Tyler having reshaped his body, he may be able to add something extra as a slasher and second-level threat.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
