Elite Preview Camp Team 10 Breakdown
Joshua Blassingame: Blassingame was a vocal leader throughout the day. Whether he was on the court, or on the bench, he made sure his teammates heard him. He is a high motor kid that plays hard on both ends. The offensive potential is there.
Troy Booker: Booker doesn’t lack confidence on the floor. He brings a tinge of intensity that every team needs. His competitiveness shows on defense the most, but he’s a solid scorer too. He has quick handles and a nice pull-up jumper in his bag.
Pace Bottoms - I’ve gotten to see Bottoms a lot this year, and he’s always a little better each time I see him. His strength is his ability to stretch the floor and hit shots from all over the floor. At 6-foot-3, he’s got solid size at the guard spot as a freshman. As he fills out some more and builds upon his game, I could see Bottoms taking some major steps forward in the coming years. - Josh Tec
Treylon Cooper Cooper is a quick guard that has the ability to penetrate the teeth of the defense. He likes to use his speed and ball fakes to keep defenders on their toes and make them pay once he gets some space.
Ahmad Clark: Clark is a multi-positional player with a nice upside. He impressed at the Elite Preview fulfilling more of a forward’s role, but he can slide out and take on some guard duties too. He was a good scorer in the post, and his aggressiveness on offense opened some eyes. He assertively attacks the basket and uses his length to his advantage. - Josh Tec
Eddie Cooke III: Cooke is a big guard who can play multiple positions. Right now, his versatility especially shines on defense, where he can reasonably guard 1-4. When he has the ball in his hands, it feels like he can get into the paint at will. Cooke’s range is a real weapon too. - Josh Tec
Jake Dorough: Dorough is a calm and collected player. He does not let much seem to phase him on the court. He takes his time on his shots and doesn’t get rushed easily. He showed his ability to distribute the ball and knock down open jumpers.
Christian McAllister The 6-foot-2 freshman seems like he will continue to get taller. As he gets taller, he will become more dangerous on both ends. He’s already shown that he can knock down shots on various spots on the floor and made some nice plays on the defensive end.
Jabarri Williams - Williams was one of my favorite PG’s at the camp this year. He knows how to control the pace of the game, setting his teammates up for good opportunities to score. Williams is very quick and the way he gets down the floor in transition is amazing. He knows how to maneuver his way into the lane and has a consistent float game. He has a nice pull-up jumper as well. Williams handles pressure and does not panic when double-teamed. - DC
