Kamaseke is a big guard with a crafty handle. He made a few tough jumpers and did a nice job creating space to get his shot off.

McNeil showed flashes throughout the day of his true potential on a talented Team 4 that went undefeated. He did a good job of moving without the ball and staying engaged on the defensive side of the floor.

Givens let the game come to him all day and continuously made the right play, which rewarded him. He knocked down open jump shots and did a good job of pushing the fast break.

In a camp setting, you don’t often see many true point guards because everyone usually wants to score the ball. But Zirger was just that. He brought ultimate value to his team by setting the pace, finding open looks for his teammates, and playing scrappy defense.

Graham did a great job of patrolling the paint on the defensive end, with numerous blocks and good contests that caused his opponents to miss. He also did a good job finding open seams in the dunker spot for dump-offs from his guards.

You don’t often see many players at this age play with the pace that Blake does. His change of speed and direction left defenders lost all day, allowing him to create plays for his teammates. He also showed a nice shot-making ability.

Layson did a great job of playing within himself on a talented camp team. He never forced anything, but when he did make plays, they were special. Gates plays with a level of maturity that you don’t often see from kids his age.
