<p>One of my favorite parts of Prep Hoops camps is finding new talent! That was definitely the case at the Prep Hoops Illinois Sophomore ID Camp! Here we examine the new names that emerged at the Wing spot!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125632' first='Gavin' last='Radmer'] (Richmond Burton)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This 6'1” Richmond Burton guard made an impression on us early in the camp with his play during the 3 on 3 session. Three level scorer that knocked in multiple threes and had a crisp handle off the bounce for scores. Fluid athlete that has some upside!</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125656' first='Kaijay' last='Brown'] (Simeon)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Brown is a young wing to track at Simeon. This 6'3” shooting guard is a lefty with a long and rangy frame. He has a sweet lefty pull up game knocking in shots from the perimeter with a sweet pull up jump shot. Loves to stop and pop in the mid-range. Gets on the offensive glass for put backs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532320' first='Eli' last='Poulakidas'] (Neuqua Valley)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Younger brother of current Yale star John Poulakidas put his name on our radar with a strong and stocky frame at 6'1”. Like his older brother he showed some potential as a shooter particularly in the mid-range.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2403165' first='Quinton' last='Frakes'] (Stevenson)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Frakes jumped off the floor to us in 3 on 3 action as a 6'4” forward that did a little bit of everything. Hit the offensive glass, decked it, moved off the ball, finished dump off passes, and was a connector.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532321' first='Elijah' last='Bell'] (Harvest Christian)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bell is a thick bodied 6'2” wing that can really shoot the basketball. Knocked down several threes in the game we saw along with impacting defensively vertically and laterally.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532331' first='Jimmy' last='Andrianopoulos'] (Glenbard West)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What you have to like about this 6'2” shooting guard from Glenbard West is first and foremost his pull up mid-range game. Also is crafty and sneaky off the bounce scoring.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2390391' first='Khevel' last='Diambuana'] (Romeoville)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Liked what we saw out of this 6'4” wing from Romeoville. Big and strong wing that plays with a ton of energy. Did a little bit of everything using his acceleration and quickness. Got on the offensive glass for a few put backs and shows potential as a defender.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>D'Angelo Perkins (OPRF)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Perkins was a late addition to the camp that made an impression. The OPRF 6'0” guard is a strong bodied prospect that finished well around the hoop on drives, cuts on out of bounds passes, and put backs. Good in transition and is a capable three point shooter.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2446278' first='Tereik' last='Hurd'] (Sacred Heart Griffin)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hurd is an interesting prospect to track. The 6'3” wing has upside with his size and strength. At his best running the floor in transition, taking his man off the bounce, and playing off his athleticism. Showed flashes as a shooter with solid form on his shot that can continue to be developed.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2403910' first='Logan' last='Wessel'] (Mt. Carmel)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wessel is a 6'1” shooting guard from Mt. Carmel that could see minutes as a sophomore. Crafty guard that makes plays off the bounce and got to the foul line. Like what he brings as a connector and his overall instincts for the game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125684' first='Tej' last='Johnson'] (Lake Forest Academy)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Johnson stands at 6'0” and excelled with his scoring in the open floor. Went coast to coast on several occasions, reverse layups, and got in the paint for runners. Could be the next quality guard out of LFA.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125588' first='Bennett' last='Kammes'] (Glenbard West)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Glenbard West 6'2” wing that has shot making potential, got steals on the defensive end, and shielded the ball well at the rim on finishes.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Kayae Lacy (De La Salle)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>De La Salle 6'1” shooting guard is at his best pouring in jumpers in the mid-range. Nailed an array of them creating in the 15-18 foot area along with using his handles to get to his spots.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532359' first='Ben' last='Levy'] (La Lumiere)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Levy attends La Lumiere in Indiana. The sophomore guard was at his best scoring in the lane. The 6'3” guard scored through contact and was consistently getting to the charity stripe on powerful drives.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2499153' first='Jaylen' last='West'] (Hillcrest)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>West is an interesting two guard prospect at around 6'0” tall he is a good rebounding guard and has a sound mid-range game.</p>
