<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Here is another look at several players who stood out with their performances and potential heading into the season at the #CoachKCombine…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3033192,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Jayshawn-Jones-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Jayshawn-Jones-C.png?w=240" alt="" class="wp-image-3033192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jayshawn Jones</strong> (6'0/SG/‘28/Mount Juliet HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: trueforreligion</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Mj_Jayshawn</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jayshawn had a solid day at camp, showing his ability to balance scoring and facilitating. He did a good job being a conduit, helping keep the offense fluid and finding his spots for scoring opportunities when they became available, while also showing his creativity in setting up his teammates. He is an emerging talent and can provide production with his scoring instincts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3033193,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Chazavion-Bridges-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Chazavion-Bridges-C.png?w=240" alt="" class="wp-image-3033193" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Chazavion Bridges</strong> (6'5/SF/‘27/Ezell Harding Christian School)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Iamzb5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Iamzb5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">There is so much intrigue surrounding Chazavion's game, and I was waiting for him to put it all together and be the dominant player he has the potential to be. His length, athleticism, and positional size helped him to be an impactful two-way threat. There were moments when he finished above the rim, then showed his perimeter shot-making ability. Defensively, he showed versatility, able to defend inside and out. He moves well out on the perimeter and does a good job contesting shots at the rim. He was an active participant on the glass and showed the ability to rim and run. If he can ever put it together over a long stretch of the game, watch out!&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3033195,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Waymon-West-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Waymon-West-C.png?w=240" alt="" class="wp-image-3033195" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2274016' first='Waymon' last='West']</strong> (6'3/SG/‘26/Riverdale)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: iam.waywest</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @iamwaywest</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Waymon is a blue-collar caliber player who puts in work on every possession on both ends of the floor. He impacts the game with his hustle, energy, and effort. Despite being an energy guy, he has the tools to score the rock at all levels. Defensively, he brings toughness and the desire to defend at a high level. He plays with passion, and often he outplayed opponents just because he wanted it more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3033196,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Patterson-Thacker-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Patterson-Thacker-C.png?w=240" alt="" class="wp-image-3033196" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2363179' first='Patterson' last='Thacker']</strong> (6'4/PF/‘28/Stratford Stem Magnet)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: patters_on</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Patters_on</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Patterson is a stout interior presence who did a good job providing paint production on both ends of the floor. He has emerging footwork on the low block, which helps him to get into his scoring opportunities despite not being the most athletic or fastest. Defensively, he showed his ability to step out on the perimeter and be a vocal defender in the ball-screen, and, whether knowingly or unknowingly, showed really good drop coverage. His competitive nature helps Patterson carve out his role on the floor, and his ability to impact the game without having to score.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3033197,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Giancarlo-Martinez-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Giancarlo-Martinez-C.png?w=240" alt="" class="wp-image-3033197" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194620' first='Giancarlo' last='Martinez'] </strong>(6'4/G|F/'28/Good Pasture) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Gian.hoops</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Giancarlo was one of the most potent scorers throughout the day. He continues to be a tough cover off the bounce as he puts tremendous pressure on the rim. The area in which he has grown since the last time I watched him is his patience on the catch. He does a very good job playing out of triple-threat and sizing up the defender, looking for the one advantage he can exploit in that possession. He is more of a slasher than a creator in ball-screen action, but regardless of how he gets to the rim, he is hard to stop off the bounce. Defenders have to respect his perimeter jumper, which makes it even harder to defend him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3033198,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Dallas-Keary-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Dallas-Keary-C.png?w=240" alt="" class="wp-image-3033198" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2886045' first='Dallas' last='Keary']</strong> (6'1/CG/‘28/Good Pasture)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: dallas_keary1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">It has been a while since I last saw Dallas, and one thing is for sure: he has been in the lab. His scoring prowess has increased, and his ability to put up points from all levels was impressive. He has really good scoring instincts along with a mature floor game. He was a consistent scoring threat every time he touched the rock, as no one was able to slow him down throughout the day. He was one of the most reliable guards in the gym, whether he was running the show or hunting his shot. He competed with poise beyond his years and is a prospect to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
