NextGen Preview Camp Team 2 Breakdown
SUWANEE, Ga—The NextGen Preview camp was a great way to start the fall schedule here at HoopSeen. We’re in the middle of our deep dive into the individual teams from camp. Here are the evaluations for team two as compiled by our evaluators and coaches.
Blanchard always pllays hard and brings plenty of toughness to the floor. Coaches love a player that’s willing to lay out for loose balls, and Blanchard showed that he has no problem playing that gritty style of game. His offensive game also showed plenty of promise. He finished well in transition and flexed a nice-looking jumper too.
Cooper Elezy was tabbed as one of the camp’s top overall performers. You can read more about him here.
Simmons is an athletic guard that plays with some bounce in his step. His athleticism paired with his length allow him to play all over the perimeter on both ends of the floor. He showed flashes of potential in terms of passing and playmaking. He was tremendous when it came to getting to his spots and finishing. There’s a lot of upside in SImmons. Keep an eye on him moving forward.
Carson Medor was tabbed as one of the camp’s top overall performers. You can read more about him here.
Every team needs a utility player who’s willing to take on any role on the court. Craig proved to be that kind of guy on Sunday. While a perimeter player, Craig never shied away from contact and showed toughness when going against bigger guys in the paint. He has good hands on defense and disrupted plenty of passes and plays on that end. Craig is a strong finisher and excels in transition.
Trammell has good size and physicality for this level. He can body up opponents and serve as a bit of an enforcer in the lane. A physical game full of contact is one he can dominate. Trammell was a great option for his guards to get the ball to on the block, but he impressed most in the mid range. Elbow jumpers and 15-footers are where he can make a killing.
Christian Dixon was tabbed as one of the camp’s top overall performers. You can read more about him here.
Collins is a guard who can shoot it well. He has a nice pull-up game and can create off the dribble. Collins consistently played hard and brought the intensity the coaches were looking for. He plays with great pace and pursues the ball aggressively.
Wilson was one of the youngest players in the gym. He comes from a basketball family, so you know he’s learning the game the right way and facing good competition during home reps. Wilson moved well off the ball and showed an ability to knock down open shots. As he gets older, I expect him to continue to improve and gradually emerge as a high-level player at this camp and others moving forward.
