Fall League. Although they are not officially officiated with their High Schools, Fall Leagues are a great chance for prospects to get out on the court with their teams and continue to prepare for the upcoming season. Check out my evaluations of six prospects who stood out from Week Three of the 2024 Hardwood Inc. Fall League: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1239535' first='Amaziah' last='Austin'] (Fountain Inn Kings)</strong> - First up on my list of 2025s from the Hardwood Inc. Fall League is [player_tooltip player_id='1239535' first='Amaziah' last='Austin']. Austin was running with Fountain Inn Kings and had a dominant performance on the defensive end of the floor while also having some intriguing moments on offense. He protected the rim with size, strength, and athleticism while also cleaning the class, putting up 10 Rebounds and 4 Blocks. Austin also had 10 Points to go with his defensive efforts, showing some skill in putting the ball on the floor and more athleticism in finishing close to the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2625788,"width":"425px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Image-10-21-24-at-5.58-PM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Image-10-21-24-at-5.58-PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2625788" style="width:425px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2528318' first='Charles' last='Salley'] (Fountain Inn Kings)</strong> - Salley was another standout from the Fountain Inn Kings on Saturday. He had good moments as a 3 &amp; D Wing for his team, providing spacing on the offensive end by being shot-ready in the corner. Charles is also active off the ball and makes smart cuts into the lane. He can work mismatches down into the paint with his strong shoulders and has the athleticism to finish at the rim. Salley can guard multiple positions on the defensive end and was used that way depending on the situation throughout the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2625789,"width":"426px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Image-10-21-24-at-5.57-PM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Image-10-21-24-at-5.57-PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2625789" style="width:426px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2299737' first='Adam' last='Brown'] (Team HST/Christ Church)</strong> - Adam had a terrific performance for Team HST (Christ Church) and was crucial to their second-half comeback win over the Fountain Inn Kings. Brown rarely wasted dribbles and body movements, getting to the ball into the paint nearly every time he touched it. He was also strong in finishing through contact and showed good touch on the rim. Adam even drew a charge on the defensive end, finishing with 13 Points and 2 Assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2346058' first='Braylen' last='Silver'] (Team Armstrong/Greer Middle College)</strong> - Coming into the day, Braylen was the player I was looking forward to seeing the most at the Hardwood Inc. Fall League. He is one that I would still consider underrated in terms of a college interest standpoint but he will have plenty of opportunity as Greer Middle College's #1 Option this winter. Although he did have multiple made threes in the game and a half I watched of his team on Saturday, it was Silver's playmaking that caught my attention. Silver looked motivated to get his teammates comfortable by making unselfish passes and creating easy chances for them with his crafty handle off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2625790,"width":"428px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Image-10-21-24-at-5.57-PM-1.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Image-10-21-24-at-5.57-PM-1.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2625790" style="width:428px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nicholas Dyenson (Team Armstrong/Greer Middle College)</strong> - Dyenson is a prospect who will step into a much more important role for the Blazers this season and I feel confident he can produce in it after seeing him in action this weekend. He held down the paint for Team Armstrong and was solid on both ends of the floor. Nicholas worked hard on the glass, had good positioning in rim protection, displayed good feet with his post moves, and had soft touch on his shots close to the rim. Dyenson finished with 8 Points, 8 Rebounds, and 2 Blocks, which is by far the most productive game I have seen him play live.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jasyiah Davis (Camp 8/Crescent HS)</strong> - Jasyiah left a good first impression on me in Greenville. He is a quick guard who frequently beat his defender off the dribble. Davis also has a great handle and is a smart passer, knowing how to find open teammates when the defense collapses toward him. Jasyiah particularly had some chemistry with his perimeter shooters with the majority of his 5 Assists leading to made threes. Although he did score 8 Points, three-point shooting should be a focus for improvement for Davis as it could create more opportunities for driving lanes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
