We had a full day of hoops at the 2015 Fall Preview and will spend the next two weeks unloading player evaluations from the camp. We’ll go team by team and unload our notes from our staff. Today we dive deep into Team 4. 

Justin Brown, CG, Milton, 2018: Brown did a great job of showing his full arsenal at the Fall Preview. The stocky guard is very strong for his size and he handles the basketball on a string. He doesn’t let the defense disrupt him or speed him up; instead, he controls the pace of the game and has the game at his fingertips. He understands the game and knows how to play. Brown has precise passing and delivers the ball on the money. The lefty uses his strength and quickness to get in the lane and make plays constantly. 

Miles Carter, SG, North Gwinnett, 2017: The 6-foot-2 guard scored well when the opportunity presented itself. As the Bulldogs look to revamp last year’s playoff team, Carter could be in the mix for a big role this season. 

Ashton Hagans, PG, Newton Co. (GA), 2019: Hagans is another gifted guard in Georgia’s 2019 class. He does a great job of using his body and strength to his advantage, as he overpowers other guards. He plays a very mature style of basketball. He has a well-rounded offensive game, where he can pass, shoot, score, and handle the basketball. Hagans has the tools you like to see in a national top 100 guy. We haven’t seen a lot of the freshmen class in the state of Georgia but we’re comfortable calling him one of the five best we’ve seen so far in the Peach State. 

Darrius Harrison, PF, Berkmar (GA), 2016 (pictured above): Harrison came into camp as an unknown prospect, but he left Suwanee Sports Academy with several people circling his name because of his motor. The four man played with high intensity throughout the day and battled inside with other players. He did a great job of running the floor and finishing at the rim, too. Harrison knows his role on the floor and he does a great job of getting things done. Coach Winston Neal called him one of the four best rebounders in the camp.

Kevin Paige, PF, Miller Grove, 2018: The intriguing big man listened to what we were preaching between big men and guards - pick and roll. He executed the play simply and developed a nice rapport with his point guards. Paige is a long-armed 6-foot-6 post player that runs well, plays above his shoulders and knows what he is. Keep an eye on him this season. Could be a sophomore blow up guy. 

Christopher Porter, PG, Sandy Creek (GA), 2018: The 5-foot-11 point guard showed the desire to compete from start to finish. He’s a quick driver that plays low to the ground and has a solid handle. 

Quinn Richey, SG, Mount Pisgah, 2019: The 6-foot-4 freshman shined as a shooter and one of our coaches said he was the best shooter in the camp. Fine praise, no doubt. Richey is fundamentally sound as a shooter and knows how to curl off screens, square up and elevate for his shot. He has great size for a high-level shooter and a nice wherewithal that should allow for more progression with his game. Improved footspeed and agility can only help diversify his game on both ends of the floor. Certainly an interesting guy to watch develop moving forward.  

CJ Smith, PG, Forsyth Central, 2017: Incredibly coachable and one of our more attentive players at the camp, Smith always jumped on the court with good energy and a willingness to buy into the team structure. We wish more players played with the mentality he played with. A capable ball-handler and defender, Smith picked his spots to contribute. 

Kam Swift, SF, Paul W. Bryant (AL), 2016: Swift oozes with athleticism and potential. He is a physical specimen with his strength, size, and athletic ability. He has a knack for finding the basketball and getting loose balls. He is an active rebounder on both ends of the floor. His quickness and speed make him an above-average defender, too. 

Kolby Wyatt, SG, Shiloh, 2017: One of the great things about our Preview camps is this - it really does live up to it’s name. The camp setting is a preview for things to come. It is no secret that Shiloh will be a major player for a state championship this season in Georgia’s AAAAAA classification. With guys like Wyatt, a 6-foot-4 wing, on board there is no reason to think any less of the Generals. He’s a hard-playing, defensive-minded player with the size to cause problems. Finding his niche at every level will help him stay on the court down the stretch. 

DJ Young, PG, Discovery, 2017: He’s a disrupting factor on the court, especially on the offensive end because he’ll drive straight to the rim with high-end speed. Understanding his pace will help develop his effectiveness. Young is terrific as a straight line driver and got into the paint whenever he wanted. He could develop into one pesky defender because of his speed.  

Evaluations come from a collection our staff of 12 coaches, four HoopSeen.com writers and two on-staff college coaches.
