<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 3SSB Palmetto Road Championship brought out some of the top talent in the country and in this article I'll break down my national standouts from Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194814"],"_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-6872ed751505f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Despite the loss this morning I was really impressed with Williams as it seemed like everything Atlanta Celtics created in the first half was due to his offense. Williams had multiple pull-up jumpers from both behind the 3-point arc and in the mid-range area of the court. His and-1 3-pointer was his individual highlight of the day. Williams rim pressure also allowed him to collapse the defense and find teammates. Talented guard who has recent offers to Georgia State and Florida State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1451033"],"_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-6872ed75150bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An available 2025 prospect, Petty is one of the top names available to commit and play next season at the college level. I loved the rim pressure Petty had on the court with teams being unable to stay in front of him at the point of attack. Petty also got to the foul line consistently and hit multiple deep 3-pointers in an afternoon win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2418491"],"_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-6872ed751510a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The tallest player I saw all weekend in Rock Hill, Betts is only a 2028 prospect! Showing massive potential at his size with soft hands and quick feet; the upside is very obvious with Betts. The lefty wants to get back to his dominant hand to finish at the rim and uses reverse layups and spin moves to finish with that hand. Like all young bigs, Betts is still a long way from reaching his full potential but his skillset right now shows he'll be a priority for high major programs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2206834"],"_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-6872ed7515154"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lundy was killing in the first half for New Heights scoring 22 points and showcasing his full offensive ability. Able to play on or off the ball, Lundy was operating in the pick and roll, attacking closeouts and getting out in transition. Lundy's highlight play came on a pickpocket steal and slam dunk in the first half. Late in the game, Lundy made some clutch free throws to help ice the game away and advance his team to the finals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2212735"],"_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-6872ed751519d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Team Lillard advanced to the 16 U championship and it was thanks to the play of Gray as a slasher. Making some nasty dribble moves, Gray has a sweet behind the back wrap around to avoid a steal contest and had multiple quick crossovers that led to off-hand finishes at the rim. A quick guard who was tough to keep out of the paint, Gray's and-1 layup in overtime helped put his team up for good. We'll see if Team Lillard can win the 16 U championship tomorrow to wrap up the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
