Our Alabama Preview camp is in the books as we hosted 80 players at the Supreme Courts in Guntersville, Alabama. After rounding up the evaluations from our coaches and staff, here is our team 1 breakdown. 

Quinshod Deramus, 2021 G, Prattville: After his coach wanted to push the tempo that his team was playing in, Deramus did a solid job of using his defense to change the rhythm of the defense. His ability to put pressure on the ball and disrupt ball screens, allowed his teammates to press up and play the passing lanes. Overall it was his hustle plays that allowed his team to play at a pace that was beneficial for the majority of his team. 

KJ Graves, 2023 G, Bullock County: It took defenders a few possessions to grasp that Graves was a lefty and by that point he had already made his mark. After finding his rhythm from the outside, Graves began to assume some of the leading ball handling responsibilities. His ability to change tempos allowed his offense to give different looks when they were gearing up to score. With multiple teammates that could finish at the rim, Graves made it a point to play with a faster sense of urgency.

Cameron Jones, 2023 PG, Sparkman: Cameron Jones used his length to bother defenders all day long. His ability to beat ball handlers to their spots made a life difficult as it was hard for any scorers to find their rhythm. On the offensive end he did just enough as a shooter to keep the defense respect his shot. Once he found a groove he would use his shot making ability to draw other defenders and kick out to others. 

Kolten Perry, 2024 WF, West Point: It took Perry a few up and down's to find his chance to make his mark but eventually he made his statement on the game. After a tear drop floater made its way to the rim, Perry picked up his energy and effort with the thought of turning offense to defense. Perry was a serviceable shooter as he made the most of his few outside attempts.  

Joshua Price, 2022 PG, John Paul II Catholic: There were different points throughout the day that teams started to get back in transition to reduce the chances of team I getting off quality breaks. When that happened, Joshua Price stepped in and was able to take the reigns of his teams half court offense. For such a young prospect, Price was able to manipulate ball screens well and make the right reads. His timely ability to make on point passes made life easy for others as his penetration led to easy looks. Given his class and ability to make proper decisions, eventually a teams offense will be in good hands.

Hayden Peek, 2023 G, Boaz: Peek may not of made a major splash in the box score but his willingness to be a team player was noticeable by several members of our staff. Peek seemed to let the offense come to him as he moved along the perimeter to open spaces. There was never a time that he forced the offense, in fact, he was mentioned as a player that didn't mind making the "one more" pass. That type of unselfishness is rare from young prospects in the up and down temp of camp settings. As he develops offensively and adds more experience, we expect for Peek to be a reliable contributor. 

Martavious Russell and Dawson Sarblah were named as two of our top performers. Take a look back on their performance in these past two stories. Part I, part II.
