Sammy a wiry and long wing played at Carolina Forest HS previously. Sammy is an athletic wing who must get stronger down the road. He runs the floor well and fills the lane in transition well. At times he will struggle contact on the way to rim. He feels comfortable playing from 15-17 feet out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562296,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9397.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9397.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2562296" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1578651' first='MJ' last='Littlejohn']</strong> - Westminster Catawba (Rock Hill) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>MJ has a slender-sleek frame out on the wing. Littlejohn moves well with the ball and really does a nice job of crashing the boards at times. MJ will shoot the rock off the catch and off the bounce. He was able to finish some buckets here today in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1985871' first='Reese' last='Walter']</strong> - Boiling Springs HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reese really liked setting up camp out on the left wing and corner here today. Walter has a sweet stroke from perimeter. He's a deceptive athlete at times and can get to the cup in 2-3 dribbles. Reese knocked down several jumpers while showing good shot selection at all times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562294,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9427.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9427.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2562294" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1986982' first='Jeremy' last='Anderson']</strong> - Irmo HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anderson a left-handed wing is a bit of a TWEENER on the floor. Jeremy can defend bigger players but also has the ability to step out on the perimeter and defend. He was able to knockdown some short corner and elbow jumpers here today. Anderson understands on where to be on the floor at all times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
