Campbell is a bruiser inside and certainly isn’t afraid of contact. I would love it if he keyed in on that more as small players just have no chance down low when he’s looking to deliver before the help comes. When smaller defenders switch onto him, Campbell should be looking to pin them deep, demand the basketball, and finish through them. He’s not going to win with speed, so leaning into his strength, size, and interior skill will be key, and we saw that at times throughout the event. He has soft touch around the basket, his footwork is catching u,p and he grabs boards in bunches. You can see how he was able to dominate during the high school season as only a sophomore, and now it is about getting better. I feel as if he’s going to be a solid finished product, and it was great to see him in this kind of setting as we’ve seen him over the summer in a much different role. 

Campbell is the type of young prospect coaches get excited about because the physical tools immediately stand out. At 6’4 and still growing, he already brings a strong interior presence that’s difficult for defenders to handle. He does a great job establishing deep post position, plays with strong hands and catches everything thrown his way around the rim. His freshman numbers were impressive across the board with 13 points and 10 rebounds per game, including a dominant 18 rebound performance that showed just how active he can be on the glass. Shooting 52% from the floor also highlights his efficiency and feel for the game, as he understands how to create quality looks instead of forcing shots. As he continues developing physically and expanding his offensive game, Campbell has all the tools to become a serious problem moving forward for Vanguard Classical East

Campbell is a physical interior presence who embraces contact instead of avoiding it, and this wekeend he played with a clear edge every time he touched the floor. Sometimes, a bit too much but that’s passion. He wanted the ball on the block and made defenses feel him once he got there as he was carving out space and powering through traffic for finishes. Campbell crashed the glass hard and created extra possessions with strength and persistence. There were stretches where the offense completely flowed through him, and he responded by setting a tone physically and offensively and he’s a player who could end up being a really good player.

Campbell has the kind of size and strength most players his age simply don’t possess, and he used it to his advantage all weekend. He was a strong finisher around the basket, converting through contact and controlling space inside. He ran the floor well, consistently getting into position for easy opportunities in transition. On the glass he was active and physical, securing rebounds and extending possessions. His combination of strength, motor and interior presence made him tough to guard and even tougher to keep off the boards throughout the weekend
