CHE COLBERT | 6’2 G | TEAM RENEGADE/BROADNECK ‘20
Che Colbert is a crafty slasher who was tough to stop, especially in transition. He’s got some wiggle off the bounce and can mix it up well in the lane by utilizing floaters. Colbert needs to work on his ball-handling, off-hand and perimeter shooting.
RASHEED COOLEY | 6’1 G | SMD ALL STARS/LACKEY ‘19
Listed at 6-foot-1, Rasheed Cooley has good length and the ability to palm the ball. He knocked down a handful of threes from spot up situations. Cooley showcased good fundamentals off the bounce by utilizing jump stops and shot fakes in the lane. He dove on the floor for loose balls and filled the lanes in transition where he was very explosive.
CAMERON HATCHER | 6’3 F | VA PREMIER/VA ACADEMY ‘20
Cameron Hatcher demonstrated intriguing versatility with his ability to score, rebound, and defend. He plays with bigger than his listed height and displays a high motor. Two things Hatcher could work on is staying on his feet when challenging shots and taking better care of the ball.
JAVON JONES | 6’1 G | TEAM RENEGADE/WISE ‘20
Javon Jones did a bit of everything in his team’s win this morning. One thing that stood out about his overall game was toughness. Jones is a good rebounding guard who excels as a scorer in transition. He seeks contact in the lane and can shoot it from spot up situations.
KYWON MCCRAY | 6’3 F | TEAM THRILL BLACK
He wasn’t the biggest prospect we saw this morning, but Kywon McCrary was certainly one of the best lob threats. McCrary used his length to create havoc by recording several deflections and steals.
ZO NICHOLS | 5’7 G | TTO ORANGE/STONEWALL ‘22
Zo Nichols is a southpaw lead guard prospect who showed good potential as a scorer and playmaker. He’s a lefty who can consistently knock down threes from spot up situations, run ball screens, attack the basket, and defend with tenacity on the ball. One thing Nichols needs to clean up is his passing.
