<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Here are a few standouts from the Coach K Combine…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2628529,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-Sedric-Holt-Jr.-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-Sedric-Holt-Jr.-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2628529" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Sedric Holt, Jr.</strong> (6'1/SF/2030/West End MS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Jr_witdashifts</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Sedric was aggressively attacking from the jump. He went to imposing his will in 3v3 play to his play carrying over to the 5v5 action. He is a wing who was at his best, slashing his way to the cup. It was very difficult for defenders to contain him off the bounce. He is young but has a scoring repertoire beyond his years, yet he is still developing. He played with the older division and still had moments where he controlled the game with his length and activity. Getting stronger, and his perimeter shooting will be a priority over the next couple of years.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2628530,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-Damarice-Smith-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-Damarice-Smith-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2628530" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2686427' first='Damarice' last='Smith']</strong> (6'1/Wing/2027/Greenbrier HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Trevezzz._.7</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @damar44671</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Damarice is a wing who was getting to the cup when the rock was in his hands. He is a crafty finisher at the cup, and his play off the bounce showed a hint towards some playmaking abilities. Damarice showed a level of toughness in his play, as he was aggressive off the bounce on offense and a hard-nosed defender on the other end of the floor. He is an impact wing who had a solid showing at camp and is a player to keep an eye on.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2628531,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-Aiden-Amason-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-Aiden-Amason-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2628531" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Aiden Amason</strong> (CG/2028/Mount Juliet HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: aiden_amason1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Aiden_Amason1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Aiden is a highly competitive freshman with a potent offensive game. He has a loaded skillset and is a pure scorer at his core. He is a tough shot-maker with a creative scoring arsenal. He scores at all levels, as he was one of the best from behind the arc, and when he is attacking off the bounce, he doesn't waste dribbles nor plays out of control. Everything about his scoring ability must be respected, and it will be interesting to watch his game grow over the next couple of years.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2628532,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-Malik-Sanders-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-Malik-Sanders-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2628532" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2767566' first='Malik' last='Sanders']</strong> (6'3/SF/2028/Lavergne HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Liek2.turnt</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Maliksanders3075</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Malik is listed as a small forward who spent a lot of time running the show at the lead guard spot. He showed his ball-handling skills as he was a reliable initiator of the offense. He is a multi-level scorer who balanced scoring and facilitating and showed that he can impact the game, whether playing on or off the ball. Malik is a young, budding prospect with potential, and I was impressed that he was quicker off the floor than expected, moved well in all directions, and had a nice, smooth shooting stroke from deep. He is a player to keep an eye on.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2628535,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-Miles-Alexander-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-Miles-Alexander-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2628535" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Miles D. Alexander</strong> (5'10/PG/2028/Cannon County HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Milesalexander_11</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @MilesA_2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Miles had his shot-making ability off the bounce on display. He is young but is crafty with the rock and lived in the paint throughout the day. I really liked his ability to create separation to get into his shot and to get his shot off. He is listed as a PG but was really looking for his offense throughout the day. He has a wide array of floaters, pull-ups, and creative finishes around the basket, keeping defenders on their heels. His presence and aggressiveness on the floor opened up scoring opportunities for his others, showing his ability to create for his teammates. He is a young prospect to keep an eye on.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2570869' first='Jalen' last='Denk']</strong> (6'3/SF/2027/Cookeville HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: jalen.denk</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @jalen_denk</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jalen turned heads early in camp. He has good positional size and showed a smooth ability to score the rock. He scores from behind the arc, in the midrange, and he can get to the rim. He has really good shooting mechanics with touch, and his impact at his position and his ball skills could have many interested from the next level. He plays with a competitive edge on both ends of the floor and shows long-term upside.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong> Adam Stephen Clark</strong> (6'3/SG/2025/Cane Ridge) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Cl5rkk</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @AdamCl5rk</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Adam was one of the most impressive players at camp with his athleticism and ability to score the rock. He doesn't mind setting up his teammates with his ability to drive and dish, but his ability to put the ball in the basket is the strength of his game. Everyone at the camp quickly learned that when Adam is on, there's no stopping him. He is an electric guard who can create his own offense, as he has a quick first step and does a really good job reading the defense. As he prepares for his final season in high school, he showed he has a lot of tools to unleash out of his toolbox.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
