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 9. 

Adrian Cohen, Etowah, SF, 2018: The 6-foot-4, 190-pound guard is a guy to watch moving forward. We liked his size for his position and he uses his length to get into the lane and challenges defenders. 

Zack Cook, Berkmar, PG, 2017: He can shoot the three, likes the three and will settle, at times, for the three. Solid floor general. Good pace with good speed. When he goes hard, he’s hard to stop. The sub 6-footer gets into tight creases with his speed and dribble with little trouble. 

Deven Hubbard, Renaissance Christian Academy, SG, 2017: Consistency and decision-making will help his development moving forward. He’s a good sized combo guard with good bounce and good speed. 

Xavier Jones, New Hampstead, PF, 2017: The 6-foot-5 forward is a true high-energy guy that did all of the little things great. Our coaches respected his attention to energy and activity when he didn’t have the ball. 

James Mays III, Lovejoy, SG, 2016: Is there any greater compliment than having a note written about you by a coach that doesn’t know you other than coaching for three games at a fall camp than being called “a great defender”? That’s what the biggest note next to Mays’s name was. Hard to argue here. 

Jalil Melvin, Morrow, PG, 2019: The 5-foot-6 guard did what most small guards do in camp settings - he was fast and got into the lane with the dribble. 

Markel Ming, Southeast Bulloch, PG, 2016: Speed on speed that is balanced well with his deadly cross-over dribble. The senior then uses the space he creates for jump shots or explosion to the basket. Ming was one of the best ball-handlers in the camp. 

Damion Rosser, Henry County, SF, 2017: Played extremely hard on both ends of the floor. Raw offensively but very active and aware on defense. Flat out emptied the tank over the course of three games. There is a lot of natural ability here and needs to continue to refine his skill set. Coach Winston Neal called him one of the four best athletes in the camp. Primed for a productive season at Henry County. 

Tworn Seals, Miller Grove, PF, 2019: Nice big, strong hands that grabbed hot passes and worked the glass as an effective rebounder. For a young big man, he understands his position and how to play it. That was refreshing. The 6-foot-5 forward is the essential garbage man. And that’s a good thing. 

Ken Stanciel, Collins Hill, SG, 2017: He embodied our preaching of playing with super energy. Because of that, he was rewarded with easy buckets and forced turnovers on defense. We wish all players competed the way he plays. Stanciel, a long 6-foot-2 guard, has a great wingspan and used it to his advantage on the defensive end of the floor.

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