He is a really good iso scorer with handles and finishing moves. He was difficult for his peers to deal with as he constantly put pressure on the rim, had defenders on their heels, and drew a lot of fouls, earning him trips to the line. He is really good scoring inside the arc, as he did a good job not over-penetrating but working his middle game. He is a player to keep an eye on over the next couple of years.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2636648,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PHN-Roderick-McDonald-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PHN-Roderick-McDonald-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2636648" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Roderick McDonald</strong> (5'1/SG/2032/Oakland Charter) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Sirroderick5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Roderick is a lefty who can really shoot the trey ball. Truthfully, that is where he stood out and was the most productive during the camp. He also did a really good job being solid playing on-ball and handling the facilitating responsibilities at times. His game will continue to expand as he continues to develop, and we will see more tools in the toolkit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2636649,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PHN-Isa-Tuggle-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PHN-Isa-Tuggle-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2636649" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Isa Tuggle</strong> (5'1/PG/2031/Belleview MS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: @icebucket.isa</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Isa was one of the best young floor generals at the camp. Many of the kids were listed as PGs but had the mindset of looking for their offense instead of showing their PG skills. Isa, however, showed the pureness of his PG skill set. He does a good job playing with his eyes up, which contributes to his court awareness and vision. He is a really good passer at a young age and does a good job of getting the ball up the court with the pass. He does a good job handling pressure and keeping the offense fluid. I like his budding PG IQ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2636650,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PHN-Cameron-Thornton-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PHN-Cameron-Thornton-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2636650" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2628888' first='Cameron' last='Thornton']</strong> (5'10/SG/2030/Minneola Charter) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: @cameron.a.thornton_2030</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Cam showed his multi-level scoring threat throughout the weekend. He really thrived in the open court and was at his best when he was out in space with the freedom to maneuver and attack gaps. He was constantly getting to the paint, and he showed really good footwork when he had to be a crafty finisher in traffic. Cam is a young, budding talent who did a good job leveraging his three-level scoring package and being a major contributor throughout the weekend.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2636653,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PHN-Jeremiah-Martin-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PHN-Jeremiah-Martin-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2636653" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jeremiah Martin</strong> (5'10/SG/2029/Blake Academy) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: @popite.jay</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Often, I look for players to make a comparison between day 1 and day 2. Jeremiah is a player I was able to get a fair assessment of on both days. He played better on day 2, especially when it came to showing his scoring prowess, especially scoring off the bounce. He balanced scoring and having to be the primary initiator of the offense. On day 2, he was really in a groove and was clicking on all cylinders. If he can be consistent with his play as he was on day 2, he will continue to see his stock rise.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2636655,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PHN-Isaias-Higuera-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PHN-Isaias-Higuera-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2636655" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Isaias Higuera</strong> (5'8/SG/2029/Franklin Academy) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Isaias.higuera11</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Isaias had his bag open throughout camp but did it in a way that was not flashy. He scored well from all levels, and when he was attacking off the bounce, he was able to draw fouls on defenders with his craftiness and aggressiveness getting to the cup. He is preparing for the jump to high school and will need to continue to hone his overall game, especially as he only stands 5'8. Until he hits his next growth spurt, his skill set as an undersized guard will have to carry him on his journey.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2636660,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PHN-Matthew-Dor-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PHN-Matthew-Dor-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2636660" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Matthew Dor</strong> (5'6/CG/2029/College Park MS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: 5starr_matt1_basketballl</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @5starr_matt1_basketballl</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">One thing Matthew did not lack was confidence, and he played with a lot of confidence throughout the weekend. He played with a lot of energy and was extremely tough off the bounce. He is a tough shot-taker with a lot of craftiness in his game, especially as a passer and when finishing in the paint. He has to learn to keep things simple because sometimes he got too flashy, and things did not turn out well. Being small and planning to play at the high school level does not afford him the luxury of playing carelessly. When he played sound basketball, he flourished.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
