Another 2027 prospect that made an impact 2 weekends in a row. I had the chance to see Childs play a few days ago at Ridgwood with his Peoria squad and he continued to impress this weekend with his Royalty Hoops team. He provides length and versatility as a small forward with long strides and a plus wingspan. He made his presence felt with a high-motor and physical presence on both ends of the floor. In the rebounding department Childs secures boards at a high point and pushes the break for quality looks. Offensively he is able to finish through contact and scored it on a reverse layup, and 1’s, and diving hard to the rim after ball screening. He seemed to always be in the action no matter where the ball was. Defensively he communicates in ball screen coverages and consistently plays with a composed controlled yet competitive demeanor.

First time seeing the Forward from Peoria High this weekend. Childs showed a polish interior game. His package included finishing inside on tough and in high volume traffic situations. He also displayed poise and body control around the rim while embracing contact. I liked the way he demonstrated a confident and composed approach while also rim running with intention in a high up tempo style game. Will be slated for a solid incoming senior year.
