2015 Fall Preview Team 14 Evaluations
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 14.
Oronte Anderson, New Hampstead, PG, 2017 (pictured above): Really liked what he did at camp. He ran his team well. He played fast, hit shots, did most of his damage en route to the rim and was vocal with his teammates. A nice sleeper on the Georgia coast.
DJ Brittian, Grady, PG, 2018: Super aggressive point guard on both sides of the ball. The 6-foot-1 guard went hard with the dribble and put his shoulder right into the chest of his defender. Like a good boxer, his jabs kept the opposition at bay and picked his spots to go hard to the rim with his version of the basketball uppercut. Defensively, Brittian got right into his man and welcomed challenges.
Enda Cummins, Kell, SF, 2018: The 6-foot-5, 170-pound wing opened some eyes with flurries of activity. He has the size you like at the next level. The key for him is now gluing it together at a consistent clip. This was our first time really watching him play. It was a nice baseline view and look forward to seeing more of him this HS season.
Cedrick Garner, Americus Sumter, PG, 2016: The 5-foot-11 guard showed off his nice handles penetrated into the defense at times. He knocked down shots when he had looks and took good shots.
Jaquavius Hayes, Maynard Jackson, PF, 2018: A monster motor who plays hard out on the break and around the basket, Hayes is productive because of his hard-hat nature. He can finish with two-handed dunks in traffic and is a solid rim protector with fine instincts already within grasp. The 6-foot-6 forward is one of the better sleepers in the state of Georgia’s sophomore class.
Austin Johnson, McEachern, PF, 2018: Long armed big man is still quite raw but also quite intriguing. He was one of the longest players in the camp and still quite raw in his development. That said, Johnson still has quite a bit of room until he hits his development ceiling. He rebounds well, is active on both sides of the ball and wants to be involved on defense. Further development and just patience with teaching will help him grow his game. Could be a fine big man in time for a Division I program.
Christian Robinson, Westside, PG, 2017: The 5-foot-11 guard had good wheels and a solid handle that allowed him to get to spots he wanted on the court. A developed jumper will help open up his game even more.
Khalid Hagins, Johnson, SG, 2016: A great defensive player that took pride in getting others involved. We think he can score but liked to get others involved.
Ladarius Spears, Okolona (MS), PF, 2018: Big body post (6-5) that did a nice job of powering through guys. His natural strength cleared out rebounders or defenders and he sealed off guys for scores and boards.
Evaluations come from a collection our staff of 12 coaches, four HoopSeen.com writers and two on-staff college coaches.
