<p class="has-medium-font-size">Cameron has a developing scoring arsenal off the bounce, as he did a good job getting into the paint throughout the weekend. He has a floater game that he is comfortable going to to finish in the paint off the bounce. There wasn't anything flashy about his game, which allowed him to stand out amongst many of his peers who were sometimes overdoing it. Cameron was solid on the defensive end of the floor with instinctive play as he played fundamental on-ball defense and got several steals while playing the passing lanes.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Omari is a young PG who kept his team in transition as he constantly looked to push the rock. He did a good job keeping his team playing fast yet not chaotic. He thrived in the open court, making plays with his vision, passing skills, and ability to get the rock to his teammates while getting downhill. You could tell that Omari loved to attack off the bounce and create for his teammates. He has a really good developing PG skillset.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Justice was one of the toughest players in his division to contain off the bounce. He has nice handles for his age and understands how to use them to get to whatever spot he wants on the floor. He has an advanced game, as he showed his ability to create space with the dribble to get into his shot and separate from the defender when attacking off the bounce. He struggled with his shot during one of the games I watched him compete in, but that did not deter him from being a solid floor general on offense and a disruptive on-ball defender on defense. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Charles caught my eyes first with his play on the defensive end of the floor. He was highly disruptive and was getting steals with his aggressive nature and quick reaction time. On the offensive end of the floor, he was constantly slashing his way through the defense, getting to the cup, and finishing at a high rate. He is a playmaker with shifty handles who did a good job manipulating the defense and controlling the flow of the offense.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Myles brought a lot of energy and effort to the floor on both ends. He was at his best offensively when he was able to get out in the open floor and slash his way into the paint. His aggressive nature in transition put pressure on the defense and kept them scrambling in transition defense. He is deadly pushing the rock and showed that he can score or locate shooters from any area on the floor. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Chandler is a young talent whose impact is clearly seen on the defensive end of the floor and on the glass. He was one of the best rebounders in his division and rebounded at a high rate. Now, a lot of kids consider the ball just coming off the rim and coming to them without having to go and secure it rebounding, but that was not the case with Chandler. When he went to the glass, he went to go and get the ball.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">I watched LJ from when I got to camp to when his team played at the court I was at. He is one player many scouts/evaluators like myself were looking forward to seeing. He did not have the typical game that I have come to know from him, but on, Sunday, I saw the player that I came to see. I have written about LJ before, and I am sure I will write about him again, so I won't get too in-depth with his on-court play in this article. On Sunday, he was more aggressive, locked in, balanced scoring and facilitating, and made everyone around him better. Hopefully, he understands from the weekend that a lot of eyes are on him, and people will be looking to see how he produces every time he steps onto the court. </p>
