#TerryTalks: Budding Talent In Florida

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Florida is loaded with talent, and it seems that will continue for years to come because these young guys are really developing their game…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562029,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PHN-Eugene-Milik-Campbell-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PHN-Eugene-Milik-Campbell-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2562029" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Eugene Milik Campbell</strong>  (5'7/PG/2030/Abraham Lincoln MS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: M1Shifty</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Evaluation Event: #GetBucketsShowcase</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">I have seen Milik several times, and he has been an aggressive PG in both settings. He lives in the paint and puts a lot of pressure on the defense. He is already starting to show the ability to make others around him better, whether that is by intent or not. His understanding of the game and how to create opportunities off the bounce is there. As long as he is intentional about getting better, he is a prospect who can emerge into a PG who can provide production as a facilitator and as a scorer.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562030,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PHN-Jaxon-Elias-Perez-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PHN-Jaxon-Elias-Perez-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2562030" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2521860' first='Jaxon' last='Elias Perez']</strong> (5'9/Point Guard/2029/Zephyrhills Christian Academy) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: jaxon_prz</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @JaxonPerez46229</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Evaluation Event: #GetBucketsShowcase</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jaxon is a young playmaker on one end and a willing defender on the other. His court vision and awareness were above average and are among his game's strengths. He sees the game and processes it at a much higher rate than his peers. When he sees gaps, he wastes no time attacking and creating off the bounce. He played with confidence and a chip on his shoulder and will be an exciting young talent to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562032,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PHN-Barrett-Pettit-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PHN-Barrett-Pettit-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2562032" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Barrett Pettit</strong> (6'2/SF/2029/The First Academy) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: bear_pettit</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Evaluation Event: #GetBucketsShowcase</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Barrett is a wing with length who can score from multiple levels and in a variety of ways. He is reliable from the perimeter in catch-and-shoot situations, and his diversity can be seen in his ability to put the ball on the floor and get to the midrange or the rim. He showed handles and can push the break as well as create with the rock in his hands. He is a finesse player who needs to get stronger.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562033,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PHN-Bryson-Samuels-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PHN-Bryson-Samuels-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2562033" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Bryson Samuels</strong>  (5'4/PG/2031/Hidden Oaks MS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: bryson_samuels4</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Evaluation Event: #EliteCampsUSA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Bryson is a budding young PG who is really good at knifing through defenses. He had a two-way impact throughout camp, and his play really stood out amongst his peers. He got a lot of deflections, which he turned into offense. He shot the trey ball well and is learning how to be a playmaker at the lead guard position.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562034,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PHN-Giovanny-Rivera-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PHN-Giovanny-Rivera-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2562034" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Giovanny Rivera</strong> (5'4/CG/2031/BCAT) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Riverasports</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Evaluation Event: #EliteCampsUSA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Giovanny is listed as a combo guard, and he had some moments that showed his ability to score the rock off the bounce. He uses his frame to bully his way to the goal, and when he is deep in the paint or at the cup, he shows craftiness with his finishes. Speed and quickness are areas he can continue to improve in, along with continuing to master his fundamentals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562035,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PHN-Juelz-Rios-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/PHN-Juelz-Rios-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2562035" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Juelz Rios</strong> (5'2/PG/2031/Horizon Middle) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Juelz_House</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Evaluation Event: #EliteCampsUSA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Juelz had a solid showing at camp and proved to be a young talent whose name is one to remember. He knows how to initiate the offense and set the table for his teammates. He balances facilitating and scoring, something many his age haven't found the delicate balance. Juelz's usage of his crossover and acceleration off the bounce had the markings of a mature upperclassman. As good of a showing as Juelz had, he is going to have to learn how to control his emotions and understand that he cannot allow officiating to affect him in the way that he currently allows.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
