Sam is the biggest player I saw on Friday. He is listed as a seven-footer and plays like he wants to be big. He posts up incredibly hard and tries to get every single board. He is strong and moves the opposing players out of his way. He knows how to use his body and feel defenders out in the post. He has a great soft touch around the rim. He had multiple putbacks and floaters. It is an impressive skill to have that most other bigs do not have. Moves well and will only continue to get stronger and add size.

In terms of defensive impact, Sam was arguably the best most dominant prospect in the gym across all age divisions at the Chi-Town Tip Off. The 6’10” center is a big time shot blocker and rebounded well throughout the weekend. His best basketball is still long ahead of him.

Precious has a ton of upside as a prospect, and showcased flashes of that potential throughout the weekend for Mac Irvin Fire . With his long wingspan and quickness off the floor, he was looking to dunk pretty much everything around the basket, leaving the rim shaking on multiple occasions. When he sets his mind to it, there wasn’t really anyone who could stop him from getting to the rim, as he has good strength at his size, and wasn’t afraid to bully smaller defenders in the paint. Defensively he has the mobility to slide his feet out on the perimeter when needed, and can recover to make plays around the rim as a shot blocker.
