<p>A real point guard who can score. He will put points on the board with off the dribble jumpers from mid to the three. He gets to the basket for layups, scores on fall aways, hit the three and will take it to the chest of the defender after he changes speeds. He can thread the needle to his teammates and will get some varsity minutes already this year. </p>

<p>A scoring guard with good size for class is a two-way player. He has real quickness and uses his size to get downhill to score in the paint. He is a tough on-ball defender and can hit the catch three.</p>

<p>A good sized combo guard plays the game with a real feel and super high IQ. He scores it from mid to the three, he has quickness to get to the basket and smartly moves the ball. He is a plus passer and just plays the game from the neck up and knows where to go with the ball and get his points.</p>

<p>A defensive shooting guard is quick to the basket and stronger than most. He is highly competitive on defense to block shots, collect steals and had one shocking block at the rim versus a big. He was arguably the most competitive player at the camp.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A good sized wing can pull-up off the dribble from mid-range and takes long strides to get to the basket to score. He is a good rebounder in and out of his area, he has long arms to deflect passes and moves his feet well in space.</p>

<p>The younger brother of Chicago Bulls 1st round pick Dalen Terry is long and lean like he was when he was his age. He can catch and shoot from the three, shoot it off the dribble or side step to score. He will block shots in his area using his length and is very competitive. </p>
