<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The summer club circuit is perhaps at its peak in the next few weeks. The Natural State has had plenty of players making headlines over the past few weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3683325' first='Justin' last='Peppers']-Small Forward/Shooting Guard-White Hall-6'5” 2030</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3683325' first='Justin' last='Peppers'] has had the opportunity to continue to develop his game in the post the past few weeks, and he has not disappointed one bit. Peppers absorbs contact in the paint well. He comes away with points while getting fouled in the process. Peppers sees the floor well and does a good job of being unselfish with the basketball. Peppers is putting the state as well as the rest of the country on notice as his game continues to take shape.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3042089' first='MJ' last='Witherspoon']-Small Forward/Shooting Guard-Joe T. Robinson-6'5” 2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3042089' first='MJ' last='Witherspoon'] has continued his strong summer on the club circuit over the past few weeks. He is the type of player who can fill up the stat sheet on both ends of the floor. Witherspoon shoots the ball well from all three levels of the floor. Witherspoon is unselfish with the basketball and has no problem making the extra pass to the open shooter. I expect him to continue the momentum he has built this summer and have a tremendous season on the hardwood for the Senators of Joe T. Robinson.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2389952' first='Karl' last='Johnson']-Point Guard-Conway-6'2” 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the summer starts to wind down, [player_tooltip player_id='2389952' first='Karl' last='Johnson'] has not slowed down one bit on the summer circuit. He is an unselfish player with the ball in his hands and does a great job of distributing the basketball. Johnson is a point guard who shoots the ball with impressive consistency from all three levels of the floor. He has started off the Under Armour Rise tournament on fire and it will be interesting to see what he produces as the tournament progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2882930' first='Jamie' last='Dunn']-Small Forward-Little Rock Central-6'6” 2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Little Rock Central has the potential to be a strong team over the next couple of seasons. [player_tooltip player_id='2882930' first='Jamie' last='Dunn'] is a prospect who can do it all on the floor. He is not afraid to take the ball strong to the rim. Meanwhile, he knows when to make the extra pass to the open shooter for an easy basket. Dunn shoots the ball well from all three levels of the floor. He forces defenders to account for him on the floor. Dunn has the versatility to guard multiple positions on the floor and is a player to watch out for over the next few seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

The summer club circuit is perhaps at its peak in the next few weeks. The Natural State has had plenty of players making headlines over the past few weeks.
