3SSB/Adidas Gold Recap - Additional Indiana Standouts

We were able to watch a lot of basketball during our Wednesday through Sunday stay in Rock Hill. Between 3SSB and Adidas Gold play there were 24 teams that were either based out of Indiana or featured an Indiana based prospect. Over the course of five days we travelled to five different venues in and around the Rock Hill, South Carolina area in order to provide unparalleled coverage of the Hoosier state which included being able to watch 21 of those 24 teams in person. Now that the dust has settled, let's take a look back at the week and highlight some of the Indiana prospects who may not have gotten much attention yet in our write-ups.    [program_tooltip program_id='2076924' first='EG10' last=''] 15u suffered a close loss in the game we went to watch, but Bowling III was the star in that game and throughout the week/weekend in Rock Hill. The 6'4" long, lean guard displayed his shot-creation ability off of the dribble against some of the best 15u competition in the county. He was able to score at the rim and in the mid-range consistently while also living at the free throw line where he converted at a high percentage. Bowling III, a Top 15 prospect in the Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2028 Rankings, averaged 17.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in Rock Hill for [program_tooltip program_id='2076924' first='EG10' last=''] 15u.     Ranked as a Top 25 prospect in the Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2028 Rankings, our expectations are high for this 6'3" guard from New Palestine High School. He had a strong freshman year for a very good team and is set to take on a much larger scoring role as a sophomore. Davison has been proving he is ready for the added responsibility throughout the summer. At the 3SSB Palmetto Road Championship with Phenom United 15u he averaged 7.0 points per game and proved himself as a coin-flip three-point shooter finishing 7-14 from beyond the arc.     [program_tooltip program_id='2076451' first='D1' last='Indiana'] came to the Adidas Gold East Championship with a loaded front court. Dokes, one of the most physical interior presences in the rising senior class, was among the standouts for his team averaging 11.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. The 6'5"-6'6" big man does such a good job of carving out space around the basket and effortlessly plays through contact with his strength. He has had a very productive spring and summer.     We discussed Macon early in the week when we had the opportunity to see Hoopmatics 17u play, but he continued to deliver throughout the week/weekend in Rock Hill. The lightening quick 5'11" left-handed point guard had no issue winning one-on-one battles off of the dribble and getting paint touches. Once he got into the lane, Macon finished with a variety of floaters and crafty layups against size while also getting to the foul line frequently. The rising senior at Pike High School finished the event averaging an impressive 12.8 points per game. He proved that his quickness and ball-handling ability translates to the highest levels.     Prior really emerged this week in Rock Hill as one of the key pieces for [program_tooltip program_id='2400000' first='Indiana' last='Elite Team Indiana'] 17u as they went 3-2 in 3SSB play. The 6'4"-6'5" guard from Heritage Hills High School has always had impressive size and length on the perimeter, but he has really matched it with production of late. He showcased his versatility in Rock Hill averaging 10.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game while also shooting 6-16 from three-point range. Small college programs are going to be all over this guy throughout his senior year.     Winslow II jumped onto our radar with strong play at the Charlie Hughes Showcase in June with New Albany High School. He backed it up over the course of this past week/weekend by averaging 9.0 points per game for [program_tooltip program_id='2076451' first='D1' last='Indiana'] 16u in Adidas Gold action. The 6'3" wing has impressive two-way versatility and is an excellent athlete. We love the way he attacks the basket in transition, can create off of the bounce in the half court, and then guards multiple positions on the other end. An under-the-radar name to know.     [program_tooltip program_id='2076924' first='EG10' last=''] 16u had an excellent time out in South Carolina advancing to the 16u Adidas Gold East Championship before falling to West Michigan Premier. This group is led by their backcourt and Woods was certainly among the stars. He shot the ball well from beyond the arc, served as the primary ball handler most of the time, and was very comfortable as a playmaker (for himself and his teammates) while playing against a high-level of competition. The backcourt is crowded at Pike High School but don't be surprised to see Woods earn himself some minutes heading into his junior season.
