20 Best: Stars Shine at Nike Elite 100 on Tuesday
Tuesday featured just one session of workouts in the morning at Nike Elite 100 Camp. Here we dive into the prospects who made an impression on the second day of the event in 20 Best: Nike Elite 100 Tuesday Standouts!
Anthony Spratt (Benton, AR – 2028 – Brad Beal Elite)
Spratt was by far and away the top performer on the day going for 35 points in less than 15 minutes of running clock action. Most in a zone I have ever seen him. The 6'5” wing has a great frame with strength and athleticism. The skill set is coming along fast and he was spectacular in this game draining four threes pulling up from deep. Transition dunks, lobs, slashes scoring in traffic, shot fakes into scores at the cup, and acrobatic layups. Physical and explosive slasher with the ability to impact on both ends.
Brady Pettigrew (Bolingbrook, IL – 2028 – Brad Beal Elite)
Pettigrew is a slick handling two guard who was super effective being creative off the dribble putting pressure on the rim consistently for buckets. Sweeping layups, transition dunks, fouled on drives and mixed in several pull ups in the mid-range. Connective passer with feel. He had 12 points.
Keaton Murry (Putnam City North, OK – 2028 – Mokan)
This 6'2” wiry wing has springy legs which he showed off in the open floor as a finisher in transition along with a sweet lefty three point shot. He dropped 9 points.
Isaiah Carter (Highland School, VA – 2028 – Boo Williams)
At 6'5” the long small forward presents good positional size along with a lethal three point stroke as he poured in three of them en route to 13 points. Feathery touch with a smooth shooting stroke.
Peter Julius (Mt. Bethel Christian, GA – 2028 – Georgia Stars)
Julius is a super physically built 6'7” 215 pound five man that snatches rebounds in traffic as he is an elite level rebounder. Monster on the glass as he is ferocious. Had a nice left handed hook shot and played strong through contact.
Jaden McCullough (Pace Academy, GA – 2028 – Georgia Stars)
McCullough is explosive with the rock in his hands. Has some shake getting downhill and the two guard was automatic pulling up from both two and three. Went for 12 points.
Shane Goines (Mount Paran Christian, SC - 2028 – Jet Academy)
Goines is a slippery driver that forces the issue with the rock in his hands. Finishes extremely well around the basket and has the ability to create space for pull up jumpers from 15 feet. Went for 9 points.
Trey Edwards (Prestonwood, TX – 2028 – Houston Hoops)
Edwards is a lefty wing that can flat out get buckets as he recorded 14 points in their second game of the day. Slender wing with a silky smooth game. Very crafty in transition along with having a feathery touch in the mid-range.
Aaron Tutt (Forest Hills, NY – 2028 – NY Lightning)
At 5'10” and built like a running back Tutt is a compact guard who brings a toughness to the game at the lead guard spot. He is best getting downhill to the rim and through contact. Had a nice hang dribble into a three finishing with 11 points.
Darren Ford (AZ Compass – 2028 – AB Elite)
The 6'1” guard was big time in their game as he scored 12 points. Scoring combo guard who has a lethal pull up game from three, can knock down spot up triples, and is creative with his handles in the lane. Also looked good in drill work with pick/roll reads, slick passing in traffic, and as he did in the games knocked down shots.
Kyle Amadi (Austin Prep, TX – 2028 – Drive Nation)
Wiry 6'3” wing who is silky smooth with the ball. Solid passing feel for an off ball player making quality decisions off live dribbles. Smooth getting downhill for scores throwing down a big dunk along with knocking in a three ball. Defensive versatility will be a value at the next level.
Josue Manya (Our Saviour Lutheran, NY – 2028 – NY Lightning)
Manya goes 6'7” and 221 pounds. The post finishes with force around the hoop out of the dunker spot throwing down one after another. Flashed some touch on a 10 foot baseline jumper.
Curtis McAllister (Metairie Park Country Day, LA – 2028 – LivOn)
Two guard from Louisiana was on point with his clean looking shot from three draining a pair of them. Also had a slick take off the bounce for a score at the rim. Like his ability to create offense.
Damien Robinson (St. Paul IV, VA – 2028 – Boo Williams)
The 6'0” guard from the DMV is a pull up shot maker that poured them in from a variety of spots on the floor. Steals taking them the other way. Plays with good pace and feel showing nice leadership. Going to be a nice college point guard.
JJ Sati-Grier (Sierra Canyon, CA – 2028 – Team WhyNot)
Sati-Grier is only 5'11” at the point guard spot. Puts pressure on the opposing lead guard defensively at the point of attack and blocked a three point shot. Makes sound decisions in ball screens along with kicking to shooters on drives. Solid shooter as well.
Nash Avery (Archbishop Spalding, MD – 2028 – Team Melo)
High level athlete on the wing with positional size at 6'7”. Threw down multiple dunks and was an impactful defender. Jumped passing lanes along with blocking shots using his physical gifts to full use on Tuesday.
Lewis Lovejoy (Art & Technology Academy, MI – 2028 – The Family)
Lovejoy is a lead guard who is tiny at 5'8”, but he has the ability to get to the cup off the bounce finding creases in the defense. Also is a solid shooter from the corners along with stopping and popping in the mid-range.
Youri Warren (Iowa United – 2028 – Iowa United)
The 6'6” 233 pound power forward has a physical frame and plays larger than his size with his physicality. Rim runner in transition, blocked shots, and flashed a nice looking lefty 10 foot shot.
Gaoussou Samake (Christ the King, NY – 2028 – NY Lightning)
Post that at 6'6” 213 pounds he walls up on the defensive end in the paint making it difficult for people to score over him. Rebounds well in traffic. Impact defender and glass cleaner!
Marque Johnson Jr. (The Lawrenceville School – 2028 – NY Rens)
The rising junior guard is a southpaw who shine with his strength getting downhill, defensive instincts getting in passing lanes for steals, and can shoot it a little as well.
