So, to kick off September, we will highlight the best of the best on the All Sophomore ID Camp Team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132750' first='Jakobe' last='Dantzler'] (6'0" | Archbishop Hannan)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2471554' first='Elijah' last='Garner'] (6'3" | Madison Prep)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brycen Jones (6'4" | Vicksburg)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2421312' first='Devin' last='Lavalais'] (6'1" | Marksville)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532365' first='Carlos' last='Levingston Jr'] (St. Michael)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132729' first='Austin' last='Turner'] (6'3" | Huntington)</strong> -<strong> pictured above</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first team set the tone for the day. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2421312' first='Devin' last='Lavalais']</strong> was the best all-around player at the camp. From offense to defense, rebounding to scoring, he did it all in Baton Rouge. <strong>Brycen Jones</strong> had coaches wishing he lived in Louisiana. The Mississippi wing can score, defend several positions, and rebound like power forward. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132750' first='Jakobe' last='Dantzler']</strong> was flat out the best point guard. He awareness of knowing when to score. when to pass, and when to push showed a high IQ mixed with great ability. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532365' first='Carlos' last='Levingston Jr']</strong> attacked the rim with aggression. He was excellent in transition as well. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132729' first='Austin' last='Turner']</strong> may end up being one of the best players in the state when it is all over. His skill set is expansive and allowed him to do multiple things well. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2471554' first='Elijah' last='Garner']</strong> is an offensive machine. His ability to score in various ways sets him apart. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Second Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2529000' first='Tyler' last='Brazier'] (5'8" | Catholic)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1975865' first='Zaveon' last='Shepherd'] (6'1" | John Curtis)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132768' first='Westin' last='Starkey'] (5'9" | French Settlement)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532378' first='Jeremy' last='Williams Jr'] (6'2" Denham Springs)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2025206' first='Kortlan' last='Williams'] (6'1" | David Thibodaux)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532380' first='Joshua' last='Wilson'] (6'4" | Lafayette Christian)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532380' first='Joshua' last='Wilson']</strong> and his otherworldly athleticism was on full display during the ID camp. His defense and finishing ability in transition were highlight worthy. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194365' first='Jeremy' last='Williams']</strong> goals during the ID camp were to put pressure on defenses and get to the rim. I believe that worked. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2025206' first='Kortlan' last='Williams']</strong> is a smooth and heady point. He knows when to score and when to facilitate. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2529000' first='Tyler' last='Brazier']</strong> can get to the rim. His height is not a deterrent. <strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1975865' first='Zaveon' last='Shepherd']</strong> cannot be left alone behind the arc. If he is, count the bucket for three. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132768' first='Westin' last='Starkey'] </strong>can turn defense into offense quickly with his persistence on defense. He proved to be deceptively quick at the ID camp getting to the rim on several occasions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Honorable Mention</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132730' first='Brody' last='Bridges'] (6'4" | Ponchatoula)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132761' first='LG' last='Carbo'] (6'1" | St. Thomas More)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132747' first='Ian' last='Edmond'] (6'1" | Zachary)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532363' first='Braedin' last='Hopkins'] (5'10" | Northshore)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Troy Hudson III (6'0" | Crosby HS - Texas)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Daniel Kelly Jr (6'0" | Ascension Episcopal)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132727' first='Anderson' last='Popov'] (6'1" | University Lab)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2443431' first='Abram' last='Taylor'] (6'1" | Holy Cross)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We will see these sophomores at other camps and during this time of year.
