#BOTBFL Impact Players

There were a lot of players impacting games at camp, and here are a few who caught my eye.   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Menthon-McCalla-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Menthon-McCalla-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2570467" /></a></figure>   Menthon McCalla (6'4/PF|C/2026/Victory Christian Academy)   IG: mjishim_23   X: @MJMcCalla_23   Menthon is a stout interior player who was productive on the low block. He is a lefty who also showed his ability to stretch the floor by knocking down the trey ball. His baseline tools, motor, and strong finishing ability at the cup made him very difficult to compete with on both ends of the floor. He made numerous hustle plays throughout the day, which changed the momentum in the games he was playing in.        <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Robert-Spriggs-III.-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Robert-Spriggs-III.-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2570469" /></a></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2398822' first='Robert' last='Spriggs'], III. (6'5/G|F/2026/Fort Pierce Central)   IG: robert_spriggs08   X: @d1trey08   Robert has good positional size and a lot of versatility in his scoring arsenal. He is a potent scorer at all levels but really showed his potency with his middle game. He is an efficient scorer who makes good decisions with the rock in his hands. His ability to play multiple positions and provide production from each made him one of the most difficult offensive weapons to contain throughout camp.     <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Christian-Smith-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Christian-Smith-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2570470" /></a></figure>   Christian Smith (6'1/CG/2025/Somerset Academy Charter Pines)   IG: _unknwnc4   X: @showtime_C4   Chrisitan is an athletic guard who is explosive off the bounce. He is a downhill attacking playmaker with a quick first step and kept defenders playing catch-up. He kept defenders in a quandary because if they backed off him, he made them pay with the trey ball, and if they played him for the perimeter shot, he quickly blew by them. He showed poise and confidence to make plays as a facilitator but showed his ability to play without the ball in his hands. He had a two-way impact, and just as impactful as he was on the offensive end of the floor, he made just as much impact on the defensive end of the floor.     <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Malachi-Martis-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Malachi-Martis-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2570473" /></a></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1301731' first='Malachi' last='Martis'] (6'6/SF/2025/Windermere Prep)   IG: Malimartis10   X: @Malmartis10   Malachi has good positional size and a frame that is ready to compete at a high level. He is best when putting pressure on the rim and was one of the best that did it at camp. He is a dynamic scorer who can convert on shots at all levels. He is a match-up problem as he is too big for most guards and can either bury them in the post or rise up and shoot over the top of them. When it comes to bigger frontcourt players, he is able to bring them out on the perimeter and use his iso-scoring tools to make plays against them. His ability to score from behind the arc brings his complete scoring package together.     <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Justin-Bandy-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Justin-Bandy-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2570474" /></a></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1301720' first='Justin' last='Bandy'] (6'8/G|F/2025/The Rock School)   IG: _j.bandy_   X: @just1nbandy   Justin is a point-forward archetype who did a really good job facilitating the offense and playing off the ball on the wing. He showed his scoring versatility by his ability to score inside and out. Smaller guards struggled with Justin's ability to bag them down into the paint and score over the top. At camp, he punished smaller defenders at a high rate. His experience was seen in his game as he made high IQ plays with the ball in his hands. He knows how to involve his teammates, plays at a nice pace, controls the flow of the game, and simply just makes those around him better.    <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Christopher-Micheal-Murray-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PH-Christopher-Micheal-Murray-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2570475" /></a></figure>   Christopher Micheal Murray (6'4/CG/2025/Sunlake HS)   IG: chrismurray4_   X: @Chrismurray_4   Chris was one of the best iso scorers off the bounce in the entire camp. He is a slasher who lived in the paint and was putting constant pressure on the rim. He thrived off the bounce but showed the ability to knock down the long ball. He is a dynamic scoring guard who can generate points from all over the floor. He is quick off the bounce and showed unmatched speed when getting downhill. Chris has good court vision and is a good passer, which allows him to play in either backcourt spot. Despite being a score-first point guard, his lead guard skills aren't shabby, but at the end of the day, he is at his best when the ball is in his hands and he has the freedom to operate as a scorer.
