Tennessee Fall Preview camp team 5 evaluations

The inaugural Tennessee Fall Preview took place on Saturday and some of the best talent in the surrounding Nashville area converged at LaVergne High School for the state's premier exposure camp. Our staff came away impressed with several players. Here are our evaluations for team 4. 

140 Kaleb Powell, 2021 G, Beech: Powell saved his best for last as the junior guard took over in the last day of camp. A great change of pace left defenders on his hip as Powell would routinely get to the rim. Once there his athleticism and size took over as he had just enough of both to finish through traffic. His versatile skill set made him a go-to option when things bogged down offensively. 

81 Jaylon Mastin, 2022 F, Sparkman: The do-it-all attitude that Mastin possessed went a long way towards helping the production from team 5. Mastin contributed in all areas as his selflessness made fitting with everyone else come easy. Things didn't always click offensively for the sophomore forward but his impact was primarily felt through his energy. From bigs to littles, he guarded them all. 

156 Connor Beavon. 2021 F, Franklin: Some cramps stifled his production late but when Beavon was in the game his length made a lasting impact. His production offensively came from two levels as a solid 3 point shot made him a serviceable pick and pop shooter. Even while dealing with cramps he was able to tough through it and grab some tough in area rebounds. Beavon left it all on the floor and provided size on a team where it was limited. 

94 Cullen Cleaves, 2022 G, Republic: In a game that featured several shot blockers in was Cullen Cleaves floater that stood out the most. The sophomores teardrop made contests at the rim seem pointless as he has a base finish to build upon. When the defense pushed up he found his tempo and rarely deviated from his pace. The ball would often find his hands during press offense and he was a solid ball-handler that didn't lose his poise. 

45 Jaden Rodgers Brown, 2021 G, Lavergne: Much like that play of his backcourt mate, when the offense needed to break the press the ball often landed in Jaden Rodgers Brown's hands. Offense came easy with him at the helm as paint touches were secured without the use of a ball screen. If the offense got out of wack, Brown regain control of the ball and initiate some type of action. Brown stood up as the de facto point guard which is tough to do in a camp setting.

Joshua Alexander was named one of our top performers. Read more about his day here.
