2022 Fall Preview Team One Breakdown
SUWANEE, GA—After celebrating some of the day’s top performers, we’re excited to take a deeper dive into the Fall Preview camp with individual breakdowns of each team. First up is team one.
Despite being one of the smallest players in attendance, Aquino made the most of his opportunities as a competitor. He competed from the tip-off to the final buzzer, handling the basketball through traffic throughout the day. Aquino also wasn’t afraid to let the ball fly from 3.
McCurdy surged as the day went on and was one of the primary reasons why his team finished the event on a high note. As he got into the rhythm of the day, McCurdy emerged as a solid playmaking option for his team. McCurdy is a good ball-handler and can lead a team well. He should keep getting better in that regard with more reps too.
Torres is an underclass guard to keep an eye on out of North Georgia. While he’s not the biggest guy, Torres is a blur with the ball in his hands and uses his speed well to get to his spots. In addition to being lightning-quick, Torres routinely made good decisions and reads as the leader of the offense.
On the younger side of campers, Xavier Wilson is a freshman guard out of Mt. Pisgah who had his share of highlights on Sunday. On a team with great guard talent, Wilson managed to carve out a niche for himself by knocking down shots and being a reliable source of offense. His team was one that got better as the day went on and Wilson played a role in that success. He’s a guy that could continue to emerge as a name to know in Georgia’s 2026 class. We’ll certainly be keeping an eye on him moving forward.
The 2024 lefty out of Dacula had some good moments on Sunday. He’s a guard who can play either spot well. Smallwood has long arms and above-average athleticism. The combination allowed him to be successful on both ends of the floor. When the has the ball in his hands, Smallwood can create with some shifty moves and shoots the ball well enough to be a scoring threat from multiple levels.
Eno made his presence known early in the day with his plays above the rim. The 6-foot-5 wing is uber-athletic and he used that to his advantage, as he skied through the lane multiple times with thunderous finishes. However, the most impressive aspect of his day may have been when he pinned a ball on the glass in transition. Eno’s size and athleticism make him an intriguing defender on the floor.
We’ve gotten to see Smith excel two weeks in a row. He looks ready to have a nice season with Harrison. He had his shot falling during stretches of the afternoon, but he really shined in his ability to get to the basket and finish. He was able to use his athleticism to get to his spots well. Smith was active on the glass and on defense too. This was the perfect way for him to close out fall camp season because it was the best we’ve seen him play on our platform. He just gets better with every outing.
Reynolds Escher is a player who has been someone we’ve had on our radar in Georgia’s 2025 class. The guard out of St. Francis impressed with his aggressive, downhill attack. He’s a strong finisher and passer when he gets into the paint. Escher handles contact well around the rim and gets to the free-throw line. He can be an effective rebounder for his position and he always seems to be in the right spot.
Garris has a solid build for a guard. He’s a strong defender who can guard anyone on the perimeter. He uses his physicality well on both ends. Garris is a versatile scorer who can post up guards around the basket, and he’s a more-than-capable shooter from mid-range out to the 3-point line. There are always players at our camps who we see blossom into high-level guys over the years, and Garris fits that mold. Only a sophomore, we can’t wait to see how his game develops over the next could of years.
Langefels has been one of the fall stock risers in Georgia, and he continued that momentum on Sunday at the Fall Preview. He’s a strong, athletic guard who uses those attributes well on drives and to create separation. Where he’s improved significantly is in his ability to shoot off the dribble. Langefels is a serious threat as a shooter now. He’s a player who has leveled up over the last few months, and now that he’s transferred to Denmark, he’ll have more of an opportunity to showcase his improvement. He has the tools to keep his ascent going too.
Jaylen Richardson was one of the camp’s top performers. You can read more about him here.
