<p>The event was loaded with some of the top freshmen and sophomores from New Jersey to Delaware. Of the 120 campers, there were dozens who stood out, but here are a few prospects whose flashes may have gone under the radar:</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2531113' first='Justin' last='Armstrong'] | 5'5 G 2027 Muhlenberg</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the smallest campers, Armstrong countered his size disadvantage versus bigger guards by using his leverage to target their hips and torsos in order to get where he wanted inside the arc. Armstrong then perfectly timed when and where to pick the ball up to either zip a pass through a window or score over defenders. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2422871' first='Da'Shaun' last='Holden'] | 5'6 G 2028 St. Elizabeth</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Holden routinely used his stature to get underneath ball-handlers and rip the ball away for fastbreak points. Not to be undervalued because of his height, he displayed good vision and instincts as a facilitator, able to set up teammates with passes going toward the basket and/or skips along the perimeter. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2384373' first='DJ' last='Jones'] | 6'5 F 2027 Sanford</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With his calm demeanor, Jones spaced the floor vertically and horizontally on Saturday. His second jump while altering shots inside mirrored his ability to get putbacks off of the offensive glass. His jumper had some range too, as he stepped back and cashed in high-arcing catch-and-shoot threes. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2371045' first='Niquan' last='Lee Jr'] | 6'0 G 2027 Caravel</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Playing some of his best basketball to date, Lee gave out work defensively at the point-of-attack. Built well for a young athlete, he weaponized his quick feet and strong hands to clamp down on whoever had the ball and to generate points off of turnovers. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2531108' first='Aasim' last='Mitchell'] | 5'10 G 2027 LaSalle</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Built like a workhorse runningback, Mitchell was an absolute freight train going to the basket. After bursting through his primary defender to take the line to the rim he wanted, the sophomore lead guard used low pick-ups to evade the helpers and get off clean lay-ups. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2531094' first='Harrison' last='Myers'] | 6'6 F 2028 CB West</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A last minute addition to the camp, Myers stayed ready to stretch the floor with deep spot-up threes. He used his pure and high release to his jumpers over defenders, then turned around and blocked or contested shots in and round the paint on defense. </p>
