Michigan Players Impress At NY2LA Futures Camp

<p>There was some high quality basketball going on at the the NY2LA Futures Camp over the weekend. Some athletes from Michigan did a great job representing themselves (and the entire state of Michigan!) at the event. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/06/Generic-Featured-Image-5.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-999488" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/06/Generic-Featured-Image-5-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="188" /></a></p> <p>These are the 4 Michigan high school basketball players that attended and some breakdown/highlights of their performance:</p> <p><strong>Jude Drake (2022, 6-4, SG, Jalen Rose Academy)</strong></p> <p>Drake sent a message back home to Michigan - that he’s under rated as an athlete and as a player. He excels in transition and is a versatile scorer. Drake could be in for a monstrous season.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="863920" first="Jason" last="Drake"] (2022, 6-1, PG, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s)</strong></p> <p>Drake is one of the most talented perimeter players in the state of Michigan. He can simply do things athletically on the basketball court that most people can’t. Drake’s performance was highlighted by a 20 point and 3 rebound performance in the 3rd game.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="814564" first="Will" last="Smythe"] (2021, SG, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s)</strong></p> <p>Smythe was one of the most overall impressive players at the event. He was steady with the ball, not letting it stick in 1 spot, but moving it quickly. Smythe was efficient with his jumper in all spots, hitting at a very high percentage. His day was highlighted by a 16 point and 2 rebound output in the 2nd game. Smythe was also named to the class of 2021’s All Camp Team.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="811099" first="Devin" last="Womack"] (2021, 6-3, PG, Ann Arbor Huron)</strong></p> <p>Womack continues to impress and looks like he will once again be a force on a veteran Ann Arbor Huron squad. It’s easy to see his leadership abilities every time he’s on the floor, and that was apparent this weekend. Womack was silky smooth with the ball in his hands.</p>
