Kentucky Elite Camp: Top 2027s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over 70 prospects from the Freshman through Senior classes traveled to Wilmore on Saturday to compete at the first ever Kentucky Elite Camp. Taking place at Asbury University, several of Kentucky's best prospects were put through a combine in the morning and played 5 on 5 games in the afternoon. Here's a breakdown of the top Sophomore performers from the event. This does not include players who were mentioned in the Top Performers article from last night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2124542"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fdf3cb21434"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shy is one of the craftiest guards in the class and his full game was on display Saturday. Darian has a tight handle and advanced passing skills. He also showed off some impressive midrange shooting while playing 5 on 5 at camp. Darian could be one of the best 2027s in Louisville this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2438889"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fdf3cb214a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kamari was one of the most athletic point guards in the entire camp and shined in the athletic testing portion of the morning. During competition, Roberts was his hypercompetitive self. He competes in everything he does and Saturday was no different. He could be the biggest surprise in the Derby City this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2348037"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fdf3cb214e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Caden was extremely solid on Saturday. He doesn't do anything really flashy and you can't necessarily say he is elite at any one thing but Lawson does a whole lot of things well and helps his team in any way he can. A true Swiss army knife that can play multiple positions and impact winning in several ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2122448"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fdf3cb21526"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I joked with Landon that he drove 3 hours to have to guard his rival big man when he and [player_tooltip player_id='1543352' first='DeAaron' last='Watkins'] were going head to head in a game. Henning is a big time rim protector who will only get better as his coordination improves. You could argue that Landon was the best big at camp on Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2522623"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fdf3cb21566"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Saturday was my first opportunity to see Padiel Tut in person and he left me with a really strong first impression. John Luk battles on both ends. He has some obvious skill and is solid around the rim in his fundamentals. Long and athletic, he blocked or altered a lot of shots at camp and as long as he doesn't settle for trying to be a big guard and chuck a bunch of threes, Padiel Tut has a chance to be a top 2027 in Kentucky.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
