He advances the ball well with the pass or when he pushes the ball on the dribble. His court vision is very good and can deliver pinpoint passes from a variety of different angles. He is also a very talented offensive player who uses his strength to penetrate into the lane off the dribble. He was hitting floaters high off the glass. He also knocked down 3-pointers, either off the catch or in the transition game on the pull up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2042907,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/IMG_3851.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/IMG_3851.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2042907" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1419878' first='Collin' last='Clark'] (Greenwood): The talented 6'7" 2025 wing was the top prospect at the camp and he showed why during the event with his versatility and high level of offensive skill. He has an excellent feel for the game to go along with his terrific shooting from beyond the 3-point line. The game slows down for him very well as he handled the ball and delivered some nifty passes to open teammates. He could easily see over the defense with his height. He was also grabbing defensive rebounds and taking off to lead the fast break in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2053127,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3854.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3854.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2053127" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brad Majors (Nevada): A 5'7" 2024 point guard who has good quickness and solid handles. The lefty can get by defenders with his speed and he also has a very effective hesitation move to keep defenders off balance. He was also hitting open perimeter shots from beyond the 3-point line. He was also effective when he was playing off the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*****</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2053132,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3852.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3852.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2053132" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1160841' first='Justin' last='Ray'] (Carthage): The 6'1" 2024 guard was one of the top guards at the event. He has very smooth handles and he stays under control without ever being sped up. He can change speeds and change directions on a dime and keep it moving. He was quite capable of dropping nice dimes with either hand on the move. He is also an excellent 3-point shooter with extended range and a quick release on his shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2053133,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3855.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3855.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2053133" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2544963' first='JJ' last='White'] (Atlanta): I got my first look at the 6'0" 2025 guard a couple of weeks ago at the Higbee Shootout and I came away impressed. I was impressed with him again at this event as he showed his good athleticism and the ability to score on fearless drives and twisting layups in the lane. He shoots the 3-pointer very well and he can also create his own shot off the dribble. He had a very effective step-back jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2053150,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3853.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3853.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2053150" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2748379' first='Micah' last='Boone'] (Maplewood): The 6'2" 2025 guard played the Swiss Army Knife role very well at the camp. He did a lot of things well to his team without commanding a lot of touches. He was very active at both ends of the court, which led to a lot of productivity. He found the ball quite a bit with his good cutting ability, which led to layups and offensive rebounding, which led to putbacks. He was also excellent defensively with his good instincts and ability to get deflections and steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2053159,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3857.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3857.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2053159" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2544932' first='Evan' last='Bishop'] (Boonville): A 6'4" 2025 forward is a skilled combo who can get things done in the post or on the perimeter with his athleticism. He is a very resourceful offensive player in the lane who can score at a variety of angles. He has nice body control in the lane and he had some acrobatic finishes where he would adjust the ball in midair to avoid blocked shots. He was also very active on the defensive end and as a rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2053165,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3850.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3850.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2053165" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kevin Johnson (Brighton Academy, KC East): A 6'6" 2025 forward who was one of the more impressive post players that we watched at the event. He had solid skills and good fundamentals in the low post area. His footwork is good and he sealed his defenders very well inside and gave a good target. He also displayed a very effective jump hook over the left shoulder. He was also a very active rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
