Phenom Queen City: Unsigned Seniors

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Welcome back to the Grassroots Season! My first stop of the summer was the Rock Hill Sports &amp; Event Center for the Queen City Showcase, hosted by Phenom Hoops. Many of the Carolinas' top independent programs were in attendance making for a fun day of action. These six prospects are Unsigned Seniors who<strong> </strong>stood out and are<strong> </strong>looking to get into form before the upcoming live period with a chance to leave one last good impression on College Coaches. <strong>Check them out below:</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2404423,"width":"364px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/GKcedq5WIAAfZEy.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/GKcedq5WIAAfZEy.jpeg?w=618" alt="" class="wp-image-2404423" style="width:364px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2404759,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"DJ Kelley","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Eastside","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2163938' first='Next' last='Level Elite'] 17U","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Starting our list of impressive Unsigned Seniors from the Phenom Queen City Showcase is DJ Kelley. Kelley is lightning quick with the ball in his hands and has a good handle and floor vision. He can also finish strongly at the basket and do it with either hand.

He had the ball in his hands often in the second half against NC Bulldogz on Saturday Evening, tallying 11 Points and 9 Assists. There is plenty of shooting on this NLE Poole squad - including Sullivan - but he will be the main playmaker for most of the season. He did a terrific job of balancing when to facilitate and when to score as his team won comfortably. Sullivan also does some work on the defensive end, chipping in to force turnovers and on the glass.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":2404757,"_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Cameron Pulley","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Hillcrest","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"Fountain Inn Kings","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Pulley is another Unsigned Senior Guard from the Palmetto State who is worth a watch this Grassroots Season.

He is a tough box-out on the offensive end with a high motor. Jared feasts in the paint and will put on a show at the rim in breakaway opportunities.

He did still have 3 threes, however it was his rebounding and hustle plays that stood out. He hauled in 9 boards and seemed to be the first to every loose ball.

He has a strong frame and is capable of making plays with the ball in his hands. Bailey uses this frame very well and recognizes when to take a mismatch to the basket. His go-to move is the turnaround jump shot, which he uses against tough defenses or when his team needs a bucket. Brendan had a very well-rounded game on Saturday Evening, putting up 12 Points and 10 Rebounds.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6612ebefa0095"} /-->
