#TerryTalks: Providing Bench Production

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The guys off the bench are often overlooked, but here are a few guys who are very productive coming off the bench…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2714861,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Jackson-Sheffield-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Jackson-Sheffield-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2714861" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Hoover Basketball Program, Hoover Basketball Program</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2224458' first='Jackson' last='Sheffield']</strong> (6'9/C/'26/Hoover)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: jackson_sheffield32</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @jsheffield2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jackson is one of the most productive players off the bench in the entire state. It goes without saying that he would be starting at every other school in the state. Unfortunately, he plays behind DeWayne Brown at Hoover. When he comes off the bench, there are times he plays alongside DeWayne, and there has not been anyone who has been able to provide an answer to that twin-tower duo. When he replaces DeWayne, he shows his ability to provide dominant inside production on both ends of the floor. Despite coming off the bench, his stock continues to grow, and his name continues to spread across college campuses.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2643648,"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/PH-Jace-Harden-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Jace-Harden-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2643648" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jace Harden</strong> (6'5/Wing/'26/Homewood)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: JaceHarden_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @JaceHarden_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jace is a lengthy wing coming off the bench, and he impacts both ends of the floor mainly due to his length. He brings scoring from behind the arc and the ability to create off the bounce. Defensively, he uses his length to be disruptive and to contest shots.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2714838,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Charlie-Sims-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Charlie-Sims-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2714838" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1599943' first='Charlie' last='Sims']</strong> (6'6/G|F/'25/Homewood)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Charliesims2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Charliesims2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Charlie comes off the bench and provides production on both ends of the floor. He has a solid overall floor game and is capable of being a secondary ball-handler who can create off the bounce. He can score from all levels, so his impact is seen in a variety of ways on the offensive end of the floor. He provides versatility on the defensive end with his ability to defend multiple positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2714864,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Jayden-Carson-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Jayden-Carson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2714864" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2313932' first='Jayden' last='Carson']</strong> (6'6/C/'26/Clay)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: nobodybutjayden</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @14Jaydencarson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jayden comes off the bench and provides Clay with an inside presence. He is an old-school prototypical big man who makes his presence felt inside on both ends of the floor. He is active on the glass and runs the floor hard. His production may not be seen in the scoring column, but he definitely provides productive minutes, as seen in other areas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2714865,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Brady-Wadsworth-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Brady-Wadsworth-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2714865" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2314052' first='Brady' last='Wadsworth']&nbsp;</strong>(6'5/PF|C/'26/Enterprise)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: bradywadsworth</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Brady comes off the bench and brings size and physical play on the inside. He is a force to deal with on both ends of the floor. He is really active on the boards and often puts points on the board with putbacks. Defensively, he makes it hard for opponents post players because of his brute strength and immovable stance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2706341,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/PH-Andrew-Matthews-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/PH-Andrew-Matthews-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2706341" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Andrew Matthews</strong> (5'10/PG/'26/Northridge) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: andrewmatthews_4</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Andrew is a lead guard coming off the bench, and he is a reliable backup. He has the ability to orchestrate the offense and keep the flow of the offense flowing when he steps onto the court and takes over the PG responsibilities. He has a solid all-around game and a nice PG IQ.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2415290' first='Riley' last='Frye'] </strong>(6'0/SG/'25/Hoover) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: ril3yfrye</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Riley comes off the bench and brings his specialty to the floor: his ability to knock down the trey ball. He is one of the best shooters on the Hoover squad, and with the playmakers and dominant post players he is surrounded by, they create a lot of open looks for the sniper, which he often turns into points on the board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
