Standouts and Stock-Risers: Team 3 at PHFreshmanShowcaseGA

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Team 3 at the #PHFreshmanShowcaseGA featured several up-and-coming prospects who made their presence felt throughout the day. Here's a full look at the group…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2964883,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Ethan-Reynolds-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Ethan-Reynolds-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2964883" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2897395' first='Ethan' last='Reynolds']</strong> (5'9/CG/'29/Archer) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: e12_reynolds_sg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ethan played extremely hard throughout the day and had a significant impact on both ends of the floor. He scored it well from all levels and was at his best throughout the day, putting pressure on the rim. He brings a lot to the game beyond his scoring versatility as he defends, runs the floor, initiates the offense, and brings energy and effort on most possessions. What made Ethan so dangerous in camp was his speed with the ball in his hands, as once he got a step on his defender, it was all but over. He has to get stronger as he continues his basketball career, so time in the weight room is going to have to become a priority.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2964887,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Izzy-Thornton-TP.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Izzy-Thornton-TP.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2964887" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2889755' first='Izzy' last='Thornton']</strong> (5'10/CG/'29/Woodland HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: weluv_izzy4</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @weluv_izzy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Izzy was hands down the best shooter in camp. He electrified all in attendance as he put on a shooting display from deep. His perimeter jumper is not all that he has in his arsenal, as he is smooth off the bounce and has a really nice floater game. He has a nice floor game and can create his own offense. He got hurt and had to sit out a reasonable amount of time, but by then, he had made his argument as one of the top players in the camp. He has a nice feel for getting his shot, but he also showed he is capable of running a team. Make no mistake about it, at this stage of his game, he stands out with his perimeter scoring prowess from deep. He is going to have to fall in love with the weight room as he continues his basketball journey.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2964885,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Alejandro-Davis-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Alejandro-Davis-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2964885" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2948156' first='Alejandro' last='Davis']</strong> (5'5/PG/'29/Spencer) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: getlike.ad1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @AlejandroD17120</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Alejandro is a lead guard who was constantly getting paint touches throughout the day. With his low center of gravity, he was able to find openings and get by his defender with ease. He showed his ability to score from behind the arc as well as in the paint off the bounce. He has a foundation upon which he can build, but there is still a lot of growth that is needed in his game. He handled the ball a lot; unfortunately, his turnovers were a little too high for what is expected from a point guard. He also has to continue to make sure his body language is good, as he showed to be down on himself when some shots were not falling. He is young, and there is definitely time to improve in these areas. When he starts putting it all together and hopefully sees a growth spurt, he is going to be a solid lead guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2964886,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Vintrez-Reaves-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Vintrez-Reaves-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2964886" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2920076' first='Vintrez' last='Reaves']</strong> (5'9/CG/'29/Woodland GA) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: vintrez.2.cool</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Vintrez was one of the top iso scorers in camp. He really put defenders on their heels when he was looking to put points on the board. He has a bag loaded with budding tools that help with his ability to be a scoring threat every time he touches the ball. He has really good combo dribbles that he uses to set up his attack, a really good hesi that he uses to keep defenders off balance, and he is shifty when getting to the rim. He also showed his ability to create separation in tight spaces and get space to get his shot off. Like most of the kids in this camp, the weight room is going to have to become a very frequented place, and that is the same for Vintrez as he continues his basketball journey.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2964888,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Noah-McGrath-TP.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Noah-McGrath-TP.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2964888" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2963538' first='Noah' last='McGrath']</strong> (6'1/CG/'29/The Mount Vernon School) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: noahmcgrath2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @noahmcgrath2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Noah is a combo guard with a really good feel for both the lead guard position and the off-guard spot. He has a good understanding of how to create his own offense as well as make others around him better, and he does it all within the flow of the offense. He rarely gets sped up, and he is a calming presence on the floor, especially when the ball is in his hands. He scores from all levels, has a nice handle, shot creation ability, and he plays with a confidence beyond his age. Undoubtedly, his production is going to increase if he stays in the lab, but his play on the defensive end of the floor is going to have to continue improving.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
