The Kentucky Freshman Showcase’s Top Flamethrowers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Kentucky Freshman Showcase brought out familiar-faced shooters and plenty of new names alike. Here a few who left an impression:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3723646"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a837fd59ab76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Camden is a gym rat through and through, known for clocking a lot of his hours at Shoot360 Louisville. He made some significant strides this summer and put his progress on display on various stages like Pedro Bradshaw's P32 Elite Camp where he beat out upperclassmen to secure the 3pt Contest crown. His performances at our Kentucky Freshman Showcase allowed him further to establish himself as one of the best shooters in his class. Camden's lefty trigger was nearly automatic when given space. He also flashed his confidence as a facilitator who should improve with time and as his body develops.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3722699"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a837fd59ac1c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One thing is for sure when it comes to Jackson, he'll get that thing off in a hurry and in bunches. He didn't see many 3pt opportunities that he didn't like at the Kentucky Freshman Showcase but most importantly, he connected on plenty of them. Beyond his confidence as an outside shooting threat, Jackson flashed a decent floater package that'll be useful for his size at the high school level. Interested to see how he develops over the years, especially once his body begins to fill out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3722367"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a837fd59acf0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As already identified by Prep Hoops Scout, Mike Roth, Antunez was one of the best all-around players at camp. His athleticism and agility on both ends of the court stood out and made him Team 5's most threatening playmaker in addition to being one of its most capable defenders. His connection on back-to-back attempts from deep, however, peeled back another layer of his game that, when paired with his physical tools, makes for one of the most intriguing prospects in the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3724985"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a837fd59ade1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harris actually did most of his damage around the rim after getting downhill at the Kentucky Freshman Showcase, but it only took a few 3pt shooting attempts to recognize the potential. He already has legit size and skill at his position that we can assume will only improve with time. Those things, paired with his quick trigger from beyond the arc could determine how much he finds the court for a LaRue County squad that needs outside shooting consistency. Harris' ability to knock down open shots from deep could be of use much sooner than later, and he has the mechanics and confidence needed to do so. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
