Alabama Preview Camp: Team 2 Breakdown
Our Alabama Preview camp is in the books as we hosted 80 players at the Supreme Courts in Guntersville, Alabama. After rounding up the evaluations from our coaches and staff, here is our team II breakdown.
Patrick Burke, 2022 G, Headland: What more could you want out of a defender? Patrick Burke caused problems for everyone as he tried to make life as difficult as possible. Burke covered a ton of ground defensively as he was seen switching to multiple positions throughout the day. With a hard hat mentality he stuck his nose in on the glass and was able to rip down a few highly contested rebounds. Burke may not of made a huge stamp in the points column but his overall play put his team in great positions.
Jacob Comer, 2021 G, Prattville Christian: Comer used his cat like quickness to slash his way to the paint en route to some crafty finishes. His ability to score in a number of ways was impressive as bigger defenders couldn't bottle up his speed and craftiness. That same quickness showed on the other end as he ended the day with a ton of deflections. Comer's ability to effect the game on both ends of the court was impressive as he found consistent ways to make an impact.
Parker Hughes, 2021 G, Trinity Presbyterian: Hughes commitment to the defensive end was noticeable from the very start of camp. His voice was heard well before he moved a muscle as he directed his teammates to the proper positions. His communication skills along with his high energy level made him one of the better help side defenders that we had in camp. Hughes smarts and willingness to compete could transform him into a solid contributor at the small college level.
Jabarie Robinson, 2022 G, Raymond: Tabbed as one of the more relentless scorers at camp, Jabarie Robinson found had a long list of ways to put the ball in the basket. His natural scoring was seem from the start as he dominated the scoring drills before the start of our games. Once in the flow of the offense, Robinson was steadily on the attack as he mixed up the ways to produce a bucket. After draining multiple shots from the outside, Robinson became more aggressive over time as a downhill threat. With two years remaining as a high school prospects, it will be great to see Robinson tap in to his potential as a two-way prospect.
Jacob Satterfield, 2023 G, Helena: After shaking off some early misses, the young Helena guard was able to find his footing from three. The early misses didn't deter his willingness to shoot as he constantly ran the floor and positioned himself to wide open spaces. As Satterfield grows older and becomes more comfortable with his game we expect for him to have more of a presence on the offensive end.
Kenton Steele, 2021 G, Hamilton: Things may not have clicked for Steele but he found other ways to contribute for his team. Steele's activity as a defender disrupted his matchups as he contributed through any offensive mishaps that he had. His above the rim play highlighted his athleticism as he showed some quality finishes in the paint. Throughout the day, Steele was able to regain his composure despite the tough start and regain his focus as a disruptive defender for his team.
Elijah Thrower, 2023 G, Austin: Given Thrower's classification, his build was the first thing that jumped off the page during our evaluations. Using his stocky build, Thrower was able to hold off defenders and get to his spots to inititate offense. Rarely did a defender speed him up or disrupt him from where he wanted to go. His team benefitted from his steady hand as he did not turn the ball over throughout the day. While the majority of his day was spent setting up others, he did make the most of his few outside attempts.
Joshua Williams was named as two of our top performers. Take a look back on his performance here.
