<p>A perennial power in the CAA, Coach Spiker and Drexel hosted a camp that featured prospects from up and down the east coast, all hungry to prove they can play at the next level. Among them were some sleepers from the senior class whom coaches should take a look at.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2242067' first='Jermaine' last='Drakes Jr.'] | 6'2 G 2025 Landon</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Very young for the class, Drakes played with a rhythm and pace that made it difficult for defenders to stay in front of him. He glided to the rack on fastbreaks, only pausing for pound dribbles, and floated in the air, turning what most expected to be a lay into a huge dunk. </p>

<p>Sebastian Edwards | 6'4 G 2025 Roman Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Edwards strung together the best performance on the day with versatile shooting and playmaking during every phase of the camp. Not to be outdone by his offense, his defense was close behind as he generated turnovers and hustled for loose balls. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1456843' first='Destine' last='Evans'] | 6'5 W/F 2025 Pennington School</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Guys were allowed to be physical on defense, but that was no problem for Evans who played through and brought the contact. Whether he was attacking a closeout or cutting backdoor, if someone met him at the rim, Evans was always the hammer and not the nail. </p>

<p>Isaiah Lee | 6'2 G 2025 Paint Branch</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When it came to putting the ball in the bucket, Lee showcased a ton of craft, as well as a sense of urgency. With his broad shoulders, he shimmied and shook loose for pull-up jumpers — twos and threes — off-the-dribble and layups. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1456865' first='Edyrn' last='Morales'] | 6'5 W 2025 Manville</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The member of the 2023 Philippines U16 team spaced the floor vertically as he cut to the basket and hunted mid-air putbacks. Morales blended that with his ability to drive against tilted defenses and extend advantages when he wasn't finishing off the play himself. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Andre Singleton | 6'6 F/C 2025 St. Joe's Metuchen</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Singleton was a wide load to handle around the hoop. In addition to moving defenders out of the way on screens, he created second-chance points and made himself available for drop-off passes on the low block. </p>
