<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Talent was in the gym from the opening to the close each day, and here are a few impactful players…&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2478793,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Tristan-Mitchell-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Tristan-Mitchell-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2478793" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2366667' first='Tristan' last='Mitchell']</strong> (5'8/PG/'27/Paideia HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Kenrod08</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @1Kenrod08</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tristan is a small lead guard who runs the show well for his squad. He lived in the paint off the bounce and made good quality decisions when he got into the heart of the defense. His size limits him in some areas, but his low center of gravity, along with his quick first step, made him a prospect many wanted to avoid staring across from with the assignment to contain him. As I said, he is small but tough, fearless, and willing to take on all challenges. One defender is not enough to keep him out of the paint, as he is a player who forces opponents to send help. In his profile, he had no offers listed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2478795,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Banks-Pourchier-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Banks-Pourchier-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2478795" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2301427' first='Banks' last='Pourchier']</strong> (6'8/PF/'26/North Oconee HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: banksp_15</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Banks_Pourchier</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Banks is an interior presence who was able to impact the game with his size. He is not the most athletic player but he does a good job with his positioning on defense and his middle game on offense. In the mid-post, he showed his ability to utilize fakes, footwork, and a high release to shoot over smaller defenders. He provides productivity on the boards, and he banks on his skill set and heady play to gain advantages while out on the floor. In his profile, he had no offers listed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2478796,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Hayden-Ryder-Clay-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Hayden-Ryder-Clay-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2478796" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Hayden Ryder Clay </strong>(6'8/PF|C/'26/Pace Academy)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Whoshvydenclvy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Whoshvydenclvy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Hayden has good size for his position, and he started off a little slow in the game I watched him play. I was waiting for him to get it going as I could tell his team was trying to get him looks early. He finally showed his ability to stretch the floor with the trey ball. He also impacted the game with his play on the glass. He has a degree of versatility on both ends of the floor and doesn't depend on scoring to be seen, yet he showed his ability to score inside and out. In his profile, he had no offers listed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2478797,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Jay-Walsh-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Jay-Walsh-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2478797" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2471152' first='Jay' last='Walsh']</strong> (6'4/SG/'26/Marist HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: jaywalsh_18</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @jaywalsh55</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jay has good positional size and impacted both ends of the floor. Even though he had some tough calls go against him when defending on-ball, he continued to be a defender who made the ball-handler earn everything he got. He did a good job getting into his middle game and providing scoring from the outside. Jay is a player who does whatever it takes to win. He defends, makes hustle plays, and has an intriguing combination of size and shot-making ability from the outside. In his profile, he had no offers listed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2478798,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Chaim-Galbut-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Chaim-Galbut-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2478798" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Chaim Galbut</strong> (6'6/G|F/'25/Miami Country Day)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: mclavish_21</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @chrismclavishjr</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Chaim is a force to deal with on the offensive end of the floor. He has good positional size with a bit of stoutness in his frame. He is a workhorse who finished well off the low block and played very physical on the interior. He was tough to deal with on the inside, but he also made life tough for the opponents with his ability to run the floor in transition. He had several dunks in transition as he simply outran the opponent's post players. Many around the Miami Country Day program believe Chaim will have a breakout season this year. In his profile, he had no offers listed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2478799,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Connor-Staphylaris-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Connor-Staphylaris-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2478799" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1742164' first='Connor' last='Staphylaris']</strong> (6'0/SG/'25/Kell HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: connor_631235</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @connor631235</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Conner probably should have been in the sniper school article as I only had two threes made in my notes, while three made qualify a player for sniper school. I truly believe he made the qualifying number. Regardless, Connor showed his ability to knock down the perimeter shot, and his impact on the game is clearly in his ability to shoot the rock. In his profile, he had no offers listed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2478801,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Kellson-Sandi-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Kellson-Sandi-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2478801" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Kellson Sandi</strong> (6'1/SG/'27/St. Thomas Aquinas)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: kjsandi11</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @KellsonSandi</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kellson will be in his second year of high school ball next season, and he is already making noise with his play, as he showed at #GBACLive. He is a young, talented backcourt prospect who is feeling his way through varsity play. He is able to fly under the radar, as his team is filled with high-level talent with the upperclassmen, including his older brother DJ Sandi. He has a solid all-around game, contributes his share to the offense's production, and can be a secondary ball-handler if needed. In his profile, he had no offers listed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
