The Scholastic Period has begun, meaning prospects across the Palmetto State are back with their High School programs for the next 30 days competing in various camps and events. I was at USC Upstate on Tuesday for the 35th Annual Gregg Nibert Camp of Champs, featuring Varsity and JV teams from across the Carolinas and Georgia. Check out five prospects who did various things to help their team win a game on Day Two in Spartanburg: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2470128"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2883979,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-685334a38e948"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Headlining this list is Fort Mill's [player_tooltip player_id='2470128' first='Jermier' last='Nelson']. In my opinion, the Yellow Jackets were the most impressive team at the Gregg Nibert Camp of Champs. Jermier impacted winning through his ability to efficiently run the offense from his PG position. Nelson had 0 turnovers and shot 6-8 from the field in a comfortable win over Orange (NC). He showcased his ability to consistently touch the paint, pull up in the mid-range or from behind the arc, and force the issue on the defensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1806931"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2883984,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-685334a38e9b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Scott-Palacios was a huge part of Greenwood Christian's comeback win in their first game of Day Two. He impacted winning with his ability to play bigger than his size on both ends of the floor. Isaiah was the only consistent scoring threat for the Eagles and despite it not being his most efficient day, he made shots to keep his team in it until they got hot late. He worked hard on the offensive and defensive glass, used an effective pump fake to get defenders off balance, and finished strong at the rim. Scott-Palacios also defended the opponent's big man. He put up a dominant 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists in the win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1972148"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-685334a38ea0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Next up on the list is Dutch Fork's [player_tooltip player_id='1972148' first='Justus' last='Bell']. Bell was a big stock riser in the recent Prep Hoops SC Rankings Update and backed it up with his play in Spartanburg. Justus impacted winning with his calming presence on the court and his ability to get a bucket when it was needed. I watched them in an in-state matchup with Nation Ford, and Bell was often the guy his team turned to when the opponent went on a run to get close. Justus always responded, either by knocking down a three, getting to the rack for a layup, or setting up a teammate for a good look. Bell put up 15 points on 3-6 3FG in the win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2883989"],"_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-685334a38ea54"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sullivan stepped up his game for the Patriots, particularly late in the second half to help pull out a win over Banks County (GA). 16 of his 22 points came across the last 16 minutes because of his ability to consistently get to the basket. Sullivan was a dependable ball-hander and brought it up often because the Patriots don't have a true PG. He also finished strong with his right hand, showed a nice floater, finished defensive possessions with rebounds, and made hustle plays. Landed had 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals to go with the impressive scoring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2144770"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2883997,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-685334a38eaa8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rounding out my list of Five Players Who Impacted Winning from this week's Gregg Nibert's Camp of Champs is the lone out-of-state prospect, [player_tooltip player_id='2144770' first='Alex' last='Dauska']. Alex is one of the premier shooters in his home state and that is what allowed him to help his team beat Woodmont. He has a very pure stroke and can shoot over good defense at 6'3". Despite only playing 14 minutes, Dauska put up 18 points on 4-8 3FG. He also moved well without the ball to get open and provide space for other Guards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
