<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 3SSB Palmetto Road finals brought out some of the top talent in the country for the first July live period, in this article I'll break down some national standouts from Thursday's action. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1592927"],"_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-68711e52c44e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adkins was playing above the rim with numerous athletic finishes using his size and length. Southern Assault did a nice job setting up plays for him to score at the rim with the first possession of the game being a set play for him to throw down a lob. One of the top athletes among forwards in the 2026 class nationally, Adkins is a mismatch for opposing defenses to deal with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1793650"],"_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-68711e52c4543"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top stock risers nationally in the 2026 class, Medlock has elevated himself from a mid major priority to a nationally ranked prospect with offers from both of the high major schools in his home state, Michigan and Michigan State. Medlock is one of the most talented scorers on the 3SSB circuit and had a stretch in the second half of the game I caught where he caught fire on pull-up shots. Medlock is also elite at drawing fouls and lived at the foul line during the game I was at. Finishing with 24 points and 5 assists, Medlock showcased his full offensive game on Thursday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2275455"],"_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-68711e52c4633"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top point guards nationally in the class of 2027, Anderson is on a short list of prospects that NBA teams have prioritized this weekend. With an incredible frame and athleticism, Anderson is physically dominant compared to many of his lead guard peers. While the scoring ability is what first catches your eye with Anderson as he has the combination of getting downhill going left and pull-up jumpers, his passing left quite the impression on me as the game continued on Thursday. Anderson swung the ball across the court with power and accuracy, setting his teammates up with easy looks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2382148"],"_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-68711e52c467d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Indiana Elite has one of the most talented 15 U groups in the country and Washington has the chance to be the best of the bunch. A natural wing guard scorer, Washington can knock down shots from long distance and has the fluidity and ball handling to attack the rim. The amount of size Indiana Elite has is another factor why their team was so successful this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1430444"],"_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-68711e52c46c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the elite shooters in the country, Webber caught fire from 3-point range with a run of three straight 3-pointers that were ridiculous shots. Webber has the positional size to shoot over smaller defenders and does not lack any confidence. Webber looks like a perfect plug and play wing shooter at the high major level and has rightfully been a stock riser nationally in the rankings and among high major programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140419"],"_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-68711e52c470f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I caught Team Tradition 16 U at the end of the night and was really impressed with their team. I ended up picking Vise as my standout thanks to his athleticism, soft hands and ability to finish through traffic. In the second half Wise had a sweep and go move with the left, showing his ability to finish with both hands and make simple moves. Those set of skills at 6'8 will have him on Division I radars. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
