<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>September 30th the Prep Select group held an event at the Highlands Sports Complex inviting middle school through freshman (2028-2031) to attend and put themselves on display. Here are the top players we were able to chart and evaluate while we were there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Tayceon McClain from PA is a long and super athletic wing who is explosive and fast. Tayceon showed elite athletic ability and ball handling while at the camp. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2488808' first='Kingston' last='Smith'] is smooth and athletic who has alot of court savvy with the ball. Has developed a great 1 and 2 dribble jumper that he shoots with great confidence. Smith tries to guard hard on the defensive end and gives max effort everywhere on the floor. Smith slides in and out of the point guard and shooting guard spots with ease and without hesitation making him a matchup problem for future defenders. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2488810' first='Drew' last='Payne'] plays with a great skillset including exceptional ballhandling and court vision. He was excellent getting through traffic and dishing the ball to scorers and makes great passes. Payne has alot of qualities that would point to him being a varsity level player this year, but playing in a very talented high school program that might have to wait. Nonetheless Payne is a great point guard in the making. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2621994' first='Deshode' last='Clark'] was a new face for us to see and he caught our eye immediately showing strength and athleticism. Clark was physical and athletic on defense and made great plays in transition. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2332648' first='Caleb' last='Atkinson'] shoots the ball at a great level of efficiency as well as show great overall guard skills. Atkinson is only a 2029 but had no problem blending in with the players who were a year older. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Jace Myers of Imani Christian in Pittsburgh had an outstanding day. Myers knows how to use is body to gain advantage on offense, has an excellent looking jumpshot and a commanding presence on the floor. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2956437' first='Joel' last='Frazier'] (2030) and Solomon Frazier (2033) who are brothers out of Huntington WV area who put on a great show during live game sessions. Joel moved up to the older division due to his size and tested his skill and toughness and seemed more than comfortable vs older players. Solomon has great poise with the ball, makes excellent decisions and has great vision and control. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
