2025 PH Sophomore ID Camp – Team Five Scouting Reports

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The second-ever PrepHoops Oregon Sophomore ID Camp took place on Sunday afternoon and many of the state's top returning sophomores were at the Beaverton Hoop YMCA for some high-level competition. This week, we take a look at our scouting notes for each individual roster, breaking down this huge crop of talent player-by-player. Here's a look at Team Five:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ter'Rae Foster (2028 Gresham)</strong> - Foster caught our eye at the Freshman Showcase last year with his ability to get hot from distance. The 5-foot-10 Greshman sophomore can still drain the three with ease, but he's also grown with his point guard play and he probably ranked as one of the top assist men at the event. There was great balance between looking for his own offense and setting up others and his name was one that was mentioned by many as one of the top performers on Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2618017' first='Uriah' last='Paz'] (2028 Wilsonville)</strong> - The 5-foot-11 Wilsonville sophomore made his mark by being being aggressive on both ends of the court. Offensively he was constantly on the attack and got some tough finishes through contact, and defensively he was consistently able to keep his defender in front of him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2480945' first='Easton' last='Ford'] (2028 North Bend)</strong> - Ford showed a solid all-around game, showing the ability to both hit perimeter shots and use his body to get to the hoop for scores. He moved well both with the rock in his hands and off the ball and largely played turnover-free hoops without sacrificing aggressiveness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2539767' first='Damian' last='Corona'] (2028 Tualatin)</strong> - Well-built wing made an impact in the floor in several areas. The 6-foot-2 sophomore's jump shot looked clean, especially on the baselines, and he had a number of nice scores after getting downhill. A willing passer, Corona got teammates involved and was also active defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2286069' first='Dreison' last='Malu Niko'] (2028 Benson)</strong> - One of the state's top sophomores, Niko may not have ranked among the event's leaders in scoring but that was meaningful in terms of showing how he could dominate the game without having to put points on the board. The 6-foot-2 swingman did blow through defenders to score around the hoop, but what was really impressive was his passing as he consistently looked for open teammates on the perimeter or cutting to the hoop for points. His all-around play has him in consideration for all-camp team honors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brett Butler Jr (2028 Marshfield) </strong>- A wing/forward with a solid build and height at 6-foot-4, Butler stretched the defense with his ability to shoot the three but also had enough ball skills to get into the lane. He looked comfortable facing the basket to attack and held his own defensively against players both on the perimeter and down in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2539769' first='Damon' last='Keith'] (2028 North Eugene) </strong>- Long and lanky at 6-foot-4, Keith made an impact on both sides of the basketball. Offensively, he capably scored both inside and out, showing off a nice touch from three-point range. Defensively, he guarded multiple positions and was one of the top shot-blockers on the day. His performance of triples - three threes and three blocked shots - in Team Five's opening game was indicative of the versatility the North Eugene sophomore brings to the table.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2682908' first='Elijah' last='Baravilala'] (2028 Willamette) </strong>- One of the smaller players in the event that was at times physically outmatched, Baravilala didn't play afraid and went with what he does best - shoot from the perimeter. The Willamette sophomore knows how to get off his shot quickly and was able to hit some from deep beyond three-point range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2950747' first='Zakai' last='Onick'] (2028 Roosevelt)</strong> - One of the true big men at the event, Onick played his role well. The 6-foot-4 Roosevelt sophomore set up shop in the post and backed down defenders for baskets, showing a soft touch around the hoop, and was extremely effective at grabbing boards and getting it to teammates to start the break. He exhibited toughness on defense and didn't back down from anyone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
