He impressed with his ability to lead the backcourt as a playmaker and scoring presence for his Team Swagger counter parts. He showed he could work well with others and was arguably one of the best creators in isolation at this year's FAB40 Camp when it was all said and done.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2782238,"width":"337px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/JEZREEL-MOREHEAD-crop-5060x3322-1740070890.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/JEZREEL-MOREHEAD-crop-5060x3322-1740070890.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2782238" style="width:337px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Jezreel Morehead | 6'3 Forward | Greensboro</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morehead was an active presence in the frontcourt to get to know for Team Swagger. He showed he could operate inside and out on both ends of the floor. When the ball wasn't in his hands, he battled for position down low in the painted area and racking up boards. He's got a bright future ahead of him in the 2029 class in the Greensboro area as he continues to showcase his all-around game on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2782236,"width":"336px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/BROOKS-GUTCH-crop-5060x3322-1740070801.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/BROOKS-GUTCH-crop-5060x3322-1740070801.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2782236" style="width:336px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Brooks Gutch | 5'7 Guard | Fairview</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gutch was impressive at the WNC FAB40 with his ability to knock down shots in the space and operate as a playmaker in the backcourt. He showed he could handle ball pressure with his ability to navigate the defense and was fearless in getting to his spots to make things happen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2782234,"width":"346px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/JONES-CHAVIS-1-crop-6324x4153-1740070638.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/JONES-CHAVIS-1-crop-6324x4153-1740070638.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2782234" style="width:346px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2605745' first='Jones' last='Chavis'] | 5'9 Guard | Greensboro</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chavis was nursing an illness throughout camp but he didn't let it slow him down as he showed he could knock down shots and create off the bounce with consistency. He did well to lean on his strengths and created opportunities in the open floor to showcase his game. As he grows defensively, look for his stock to really grow in the 2029 class out of Greensboro.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2772126,"width":"242px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/Drew-Kirby.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/Drew-Kirby.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-2772126" style="width:242px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Drew Kirby | 5'11 Guard | Granite Falls</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another impressive prospect with Team Swagger, Kirby showed his own swagger of sorts in showing he could knock down shots on the perimeter at volume as well as get to the paint and score in traffic. He did well to showcase his guard skills as more than a shooter, operating well in the backcourt with [player_tooltip player_id='2886596' first='Carlos' last='Boyce'] to success. He's a prospect with a bright future given his coachability and energy on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2771961,"width":"256px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/Aiden-Thomas.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/Aiden-Thomas.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-2771961" style="width:256px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Aiden Thomas | 6'5 Forward | Cherryville</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas was arguably the best rebounder at this year's WNC FAB40. He made it his role to clean up on the glass on both ends and that's what stood out more than anything by the end of things. He's shown he can operate at either forward spot given his ability to handle ball pressure and shoot the ball on the perimeter and mid-range as well. He's a prospect with a bright future out of Cherryville given his versatility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2782232,"width":"461px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/TYLER-RUNDELL-crop-5792x3803-1740070383.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/TYLER-RUNDELL-crop-5792x3803-1740070383.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2782232" style="width:461px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Tyler Rundell | 5'9 Shooting Guard | Brevard</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rundell is a prospect who just needed a sliver of space to make an impact with his perimeter shooting ability for Team Hustle. He did well in spacing the floor with his shooting ability and prowess on the perimeter. As he learns to handle the basketball when pressure comes, he'll be an intriguing prospect in the 2029 class given his ceiling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2782230,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/Jaylen-Amerson-crop-400x263-1740070305.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/Jaylen-Amerson-crop-400x263-1740070305.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-2782230" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Jaylen Amerson | 5'8 Guard | Sanford</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Amerson was quite the two-way presence for Team Uncle Drew to make note of at the WNC FAB40. He did well to show he could be a presence defensively with his ability to pressure the ball 90 feet and force turnovers. Offensively, he showed he could get downhill and make things happen with paint touches and his shooting stroke on the perimeter. He's one to watch in the 2029 class out of the Sanford area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
