2023 NextGen Preview Camp: Team Two
SUWANEE, Ga.—Continuing our coverage of the NextGen Preview camp, here’s a look at team two.
Battle’s coach complimented his competitiveness, his coachability. He’s only a 7th grader, so there’s plenty of development left in the tank, but his intangibles were applauded.
On the smaller side, Jackson may have been among the most elusive with the ball. He got into the paint consistently and showed plenty of promise as a ball handler.
Boggs has a chance to be a solid player down the line. He gets it. He’s clearly smart and coachable with a good feel for the game. He competed hard on both sides of the ball and shared well with his teammates. Keep an eye on him.
Easley has a sharp handle and a solid looking jumper. He can operate well in a quicker game, and he made an impact on defense with multiple steals. Easley also kept the ball moving and looked to get his teammates involved.
Morton brought plenty of hustle. He disrupted easy baskets by simply playing hard. If you’ve been to enough them, you’d realize that that’s not always seen in basketball camp settings.
Florence has solid size at this level. He showed that he’s comfortable grabbing a rebound and taking the ball up the floor. He made some nice defensive plays with good situational awareness.
Pearson had solid size for this level. He was more physically advanced than most which bodes well for his future as a hooper. He can really start to stand out with added skill and development, which will come with continued work. We look forward to checking in on his progress in the future.
Curtis was on the taller, more traditionally projectable end of the spectrum. He pairs positive physical attributes with a solid motor. He impacted the game on both offense and defense.
Gordon wasn’t the biggest guy, but he plays a fearless style of ball. He’s confident. He pulled threes with deep range and knocked them down.
