Spring Preview Team 3 Breakdown

Jalen Tatum, Guard, 2022: Tatum was constantly at the rim throughout the day. Whether it was a lay up off a drive or a dunk, he scored a lot of points at the rim. He also showcased his improved pull up jumper where he gets such great elevation. He is a slasher that moves well without the ball for a lot of easy buckets. 

Kaieem Riddick, Guard, 2022: Riddick's craftiness off the dribble makes him really fun to watch. He is a speedy player that can change directions extremely well. He makes shifty moves to get by defenders and inside the paint.

Makaleb McBride, Guard, 2022: McBride was named a top performer of the camp. Read about him here

Jahmil Barber, Guard, 2022: Barber was one of the best defenders that I saw. Watching him play, he is constantly talking and moving his hands and feet. His active hands helped him to notch several steals and earn points in transition. He was able to guard multiple positions as well. 

Tre'von Jackson, Guard, 2022: The Bradwell Institute guard made some solid plays on the day. He has a solid handle and good court vision that he used to get his teammates going. He was able to utilize his jab step and shot fakes to get past the first level of the defense. 

Yannis Woods, Forward, 2022: Woods is a long and lanky forward with good size. At 6-foot-7, he can hurt you from inside out. He can knock down shots from the perimeter and attack off the dribble. He is really good in transition as he uses his length to his advantage. Woods was one of the more active defenders that I saw. He altered shots, had active hands, and attacked the boards.

Shaun Nichols, Guard, 2022: Nichols uses his upper body strength to get to the rim as he pleases. With minimal dribbling, it was just about effortless for him to attack the basket. The lefty also showed off his range with the number of jump shots he knocked down. On the defensive end, he knows how to use his length to impact the game. 

Ra'Quan Myers, Guard, 2022: Myers knocked down shots from all over the court throughout the day. He has good range and can convert on shots with defenders draped around him.

Austen Colton, Guard, 2023: Colton was a top sophomore that I was able to see at camp. He has a stout frame that he uses to get downhill to attack the rim. He has a nice handle and makes shifty moves to get separation from defenders. He also showed his shooting range as he knocked down a number of midrange shots and three balls.

Josh Hughes, Forward, 2022: Hughes is the definition of a physical banger. This kid embraces contact and can bang with the best of them. He is a menace attacking the boards; he earns a ton of second chance points by working his way into a position for offensive rebounds. Hughes always seems to be in the right place at the right time as he cuts to open spots and makes himself available to score.
