Tyrese Elliot (Sparkman)- This kid is impressive. At 6’1-6’2, Tyrese has the size and skill to play both guard spots. He attacks the rim fearlessly, he can hit pull up jumpers, he rebounds from the perimeter, and Tyrese plays with confidence. If you’ve seen Sparkman play at team camps, you’ve noticed No. 20 having that “swag”.
Knute Wood (Brooks)- Knute can play. He has size (6’3), skill, and the IQ to be a high quality prospect. Two of his biggest skill attributes are his understanding of how to play, and his shooting ability. Knute may not look like the prototypical athlete, but he has game.
Jordan Frazier (James Clemens)- Jordan is a 6’3-6’4 athletic guard. He knows how to use his length defensively and can really shoot the ball. He rebounds well from the perimeter. When locked in, Jordan is a tough matchup. He needs to add more bulk and not gamble as much off the ball defensively.
Patrick Burke (Headland)- 1 word to describe Patrick: crafty. The 6’1 combo guard is really good with the ball in his hands. This kid is a 3 level scorer and has some serious moves. At times he gets caught over dribbling and over penetrating, but Patrick is definitely a prospect to watch.
Quenton Hayes (Enterprise)- Quenton is a solid player. He can shoot the ball, he can defend, and he can make plays. This kid has the size (6’2) and ability to play multiple perimeter spots. Whats a major knock on Quenton? Well he can do a lot of things on the court, but he is not elite in any area.
