2023 NextGen Preview Camp: Team One
SUWANEE, Ga.—We’re starting individual team breakdowns with a look at team one.
Harris was among the younger guys in camp, and his coach applauded his toughness and coachability. We always see younger players come through this camp in their first year and find their way. By the second year, they’re among the best players. Harris could be that with continued development.
Daniel had a solid afternoon. He was able to knock down some shots with range. Daniel played within himself and took opportunities when they came his way.
A bigger guard at this level, Pass had some slithery moves and was able to get to his spots. Pass was a quality scorer from midrange. His jumper worked well for him at times, and it looks like that could be one of his weapons moving forward.
Half of the battle of a young basketball player occurs off the court. When talking about Allen, his coach mentioned that he was engaged, he was locked in during post-scrimmage huddled. That’s a cut above the rest at this level and in this setting.
Wilson is a bigger guard that has a different speed with the ball in his hands. He can get by guys and has a foundational understanding of how to change speeds. With more refinement and polishing, he could be a name we continue to hear from.
Bailey was named as one of the camp’s top overall performers. You can read more about him here.
There were a lot of good guards in the building. Ethan Burt was a guy that had great moments as a passer. He made live-dribble passes in transition that led to baskets. His willingness to make the right play stood out.
Alleyne has plus size and feel for the game. His IQ was on display when passing mostly. Alleyne has basketball in his genes, so there’s no doubt that he’ll have plenty of quality competition and development in his future.
Perkins was on the smaller, younger side, but he showed good fight and competitiveness. His coaches loved his willingness to take instruction and his overall attitude as a teammate.
