He has the combination of height and skillset that makes him an intriguing prospect. Standing at 6’7 with the ability to finish around the rim or step outside the paint and knock down shots, there is plenty to like about him as a player on the next level.

Clayton is a skilled forward who needs more attention for the kind of game that he has. He’s got great IQ, making good decisions offensively in the post. Also has some good touch when it comes to finishing over guys down there. Defensively, he does all the typical things you expect out of a 4/5 man and blocks shots really well. Has great timing and arms that can still alter a shot even if the defender is bodying in to take away the shot blocker.

Clayton was hands down my favorite player to coach at the event, not only because of his skill but because of his IQ and willingness to learn. Skill-wise, he’s a smooth forward that can stretch the floor a bit and has a physical, nasty side to him. He knows how to play the game and read the floor from the post or wherever he is at. He is also very coachable, responding to feedback and immediately looking to implement it and improve from game to game. He should continue to garner college attention this season.

Clayton was a sizeable name who instantly stood out with his ability to be a presence in the painted area. He was a force on offense, but his biggest asset was his ability to protect the rim, alter shots and be an anchor rebounding the ball for his squad throughout the showcase. He’s a prospect for DII and DIII programs to get eyes on out of AC Reynolds High given his ability around the rim at 6-foot-7.
