Took his game to another level on Day 2, proving that his strong Day 1 showing was no fluke. Continued to shoot the ball well from beyond the arc and added in some impressive up-the-court passes that led to easy buckets. Mixed in a few mid-range shots as well, showing his ability to score at multiple levels. Handled the ball with confidence—changing speeds effectively to keep defenders off balance and create space.     One of the best shooters on Day 2, he shot the ball at a high level from three—especially on catch-and-shoot opportunities. Always ready to fire with a quick, fluid release, he made defenses pay when given any daylight. He also showed he could finish inside, converting multiple high layups over taller defenders with touch and body control.     He showcased his ability to get threes off quickly and efficiently, particularly from the corners and wings, making him one of the most dangerous floor spacers on Day 2. With a compact, repeatable shooting form and a lightning-quick release, he punished defenses for even slight lapses in coverage. He was a deadeye shooter throughout the day—someone you absolutely couldn't afford to leave open. What stood out even more was his movement without the ball. He played with a high IQ, consistently relocating to open spots on the floor and creating high percentage looks for himself. Whether it was off a drive-and-kick, a screen, or simple recognition of defensive rotations, he found open space and made himself a constant threat.     A superb athlete who consistently stood out as one of the most explosive players in the gym. He had little trouble getting to the basket, using his quick first step and strong frame to blow by defenders and finish at the rim. Once in transition, he was a highlight waiting to happen—throwing down multiple jaw-dropping dunks that had spectators out of their seats. His athleticism alone made him a problem, but he backed it up with skill on both ends of the floor.   Defensively, he was elite—arguably the best perimeter defender in the camp. He took pride in locking up opposing guards, sliding his feet well, applying constant ball pressure, and disrupting passing lanes. His defensive intensity set the tone anytime he was on the court.     One of the best athletes in the gym, he stood out with his explosive leaping ability and constant energy. A high flyer and a dangerous lob threat in transition, he put pressure on the rim every time he got out on the break. His bounce and timing made him a tough cover for defenders, especially when attacking downhill.
