<p class="text-gray-700">Even tho they came up short the 6'6ish wing showed a slightly more improved arsenal in the scoring department from all three levels of the floor. He knocked down multiple shots from the perimeter, had a few nice finishes at the rim, and showed what he can do with the ball in his hands as well. Clayton has been up and down to start the season but has a college guy on the wing in blue.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Western Carolina commit finished with a loud 25 points where he was nearly unstoppable to contain. He consistently beat his defender off the dribble repeatedly using his strength and ambidextrous finishing ability at the rim. His strong and active on the other end of the floor as well, making it hard for opposing guards to score.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Poise, Pace, and efficiency are words best used to describe the offensive outlook of [player_tooltip player_id='1950203' first='Kellum' last='Brown']. In the blowout win, he led the way with 18 points in 2 and a half quarters showing off his smooth jumper and solid finishing ability at the rim. He was averaging 31 points per game coming into the contest and is on pace to have a big senior season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ballard was a solid contributor to a New Hanover team that made an appearance in the state championship last season and looks to have taken the next step in his development. He was one of the four Hanover players who finished in double digits and did a solid job of anchoring the defense. He finished a few easy baskets at the rim and threw down two nice dunks in transition, including a lob that brought the crowd to their feet. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Florida International commit started relatively slow before scoring the majority of his points in a failed comeback effort in the 2nd half. Tegra was active around the basket on both ends of the floor and made it difficult for Harrells to finish at the rim. Overall he's a throwback big man who moves well and uses his brute force and athleticism to carve out space on both ends of the floor.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The do it all forward from Florida was one of the more productive guys from his squad at the event. He stands near 6'7 with a solid shooting touch and some hops to go with it. He did a little of everything dropping 10 points 5 rebounds and 3 stocks showcasing the versatility you like from a college level wing prospect.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The elder of the Lamb brothers is one of the craftier guys in the region with the ball in his hands. He's not super explosive but has more than enough counters to get to if he's stopped on his initial move. He finished the game with 15 points 7 rebounds and 2 steals.</p>
