This is one of the best days of the year because there were over 150 of the best prospects from North Carolina and South Carolina competing under one roof. Take a look at my Top 250 Expo Team 2 Evaluations:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#828 [player_tooltip player_id='2175529' first='Braydyn' last='Francis'] (Chapin) - Leading off my Team 2 Evaluations is [player_tooltip player_id='2175529' first='Braydyn' last='Francis']. Francis was one of the prospects I'm most familiar with, but he did a show a different side of his game in Rock Hill. Braydyn rarely looked to get his own bucket, instead frequently dishing out high-level passes to get teammates good looks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#830 [player_tooltip player_id='2921130' first='Hudson' last='Deese'] (Lancaster) - Deese could be a key piece for the new-look Lancaster Bruins this season. He worked well off the ball and in transition, flashing his skilled finishing with a couple of nice euro-step layups at the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#835 [player_tooltip player_id='2467354' first='Isaiah' last='Jacques'] (Keenan) - Isaiah is a Guard with a bright future out of the 2028 class. He had a few opportunities to run the offense for Team 2 and impressed with his handle in tight spaces and ability to play off two feet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#840 [player_tooltip player_id='2537655' first='Julian' last='Graham'] (Aiken) - Graham is one of the more well-rounded scorers in the CSRA and had a nice showing in Rock Hill. He has quick spurts with the ball in his hands, a nice floater game, and a capable perimeter shooter off the catch and the dribble. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#841 [player_tooltip player_id='2470023' first='Elijah' last='McClain'] (Cheraw) - Elijah was also a key scoring piece for Team 2. However, he got it done with his size and athleticism. McCraw has good strength and bounce, which is very crucial to his ability to finish inside. He will also hit the occasional outside shot with a high release to shoot over contests.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#864 [player_tooltip player_id='2560593' first='Max' last='Leroux'] (Hilton Head Christian) - Rounding out the group is [player_tooltip player_id='2560593' first='Max' last='Leroux']. Leroux is one of the more underrated athletes in South Carolina's 2028 Class and will be a new addition to the rankings in a few weeks. Apart from his ability to finish at the rim, Max is also a solid jump shooter in the mid-range and from three. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
