Jordan was easily one of the best catch and shoot players at the camp. Once he found a rhythm he saw a ton of shots fall.

Despite being one of the younger players at the camp, Isaac showcased his elite ball handling for his age. He also displayed elite energy and a very nice shot.

Xander continued to improve as the day wore on, which is always good to see at our middle school camps. Xander continuously used his size to create an impact, especially on the defensive end of the floor.

Noah made strong downhill drives and did a great job of being ready to catch and shoot when the ball was kicked out by his guards. He also did a good job of navigating through screens and causing disruption on the ball.

Brycen is a true point guard. He was slow in finding his shot to start the day but showed his great shooting touch as the day went on. One of the better, more consistent one-dribble pull up players at his age.

Max was one of the better shooters at the camp. He has a great understanding of getting to his spots and once there, above average finishing and shooting touch.

Byrd had one of the most polished games in attendance. His game was efficient, he made the right play almost every time down the court, and he finished around the basket with either hand.

Jackson has the potential to be a big-time prospect in Georgia over the next few years because of his length, ball handling, and ability to get downhill at any given moment and finish around the rim.
