M.J. Rice put on a show this past weekend at the BigShots SE Top 150 Camp. Rice showed off his ability to get to the rim and finish with authority on numerous occasions in front of ESPN recruiter Paul Biancardi. He’s a prospect that continues to develop and has room to grow still as a top member of the 2022 class.
2. 2020 guard – 6’5 – Colin Radcliffe (Living Water Christian Academy)
Colin Radcliffe was a 2020 prospect that put on a shooting display at the BigShots SE Top 150 Camp. Radcliffe drained six 3-pointers in a 27-point performance in his first game of the camp and produced 14 points in the second game of the camp. He’s a prospect that’s shown growth on the wing with his outside shot.
3. 2021 forward 6’7 – Keeyan Itejere (GRACE Christian)
Keeyan Itejere is a developing forward prospect that showed why he should be on a lot of college coaches radars in the near future. Itejere showed off quite the motor hunting down rebounds and finishing at the rim. In the open court, he showed off the ability to create his own shot off the dribble and a knack for getting to the rim
4. 2020 forward – 6’9 – Myles Evans (Ravenscroft School)
Big man Myles Evans is working his way back from a knee injury but he showed off quite the motor and moves in the post this past weekend. Evans has quite the upside in the paint as a rebounder and playmaker. He had quite the presence on the boards and in the facilitating department for his team in Rock Hill.
5. 2022 guard/forward Massai Graham (Tapestry Charter – NY)
Massai Graham made the trip from New York to the BigShots SE Top 150 Camp and made quite the impact as a high-flyer and three-level scorer. Graham showed poise guarding multiple positions on the floor and handled the basketball well when it came his way. He can finish at the rim and knock down the outside shot with ease. His development should be fun to watch.
6. 2020 point guard Sabastian Haidera (Hoggard)
Sabastian Haidera is due to break out in the 2019-20 season at Hoggard High School. He’s got solid court awareness for his playmakers on the floor and can shoot the 3-ball with efficiency. He put up a total of nine made 3-pointers across 18-point and 26-point performances during the showcase games.
7. 2022 guard A.J. Cook (Weddington)
A.J. Cook put on a standout shooting display with 44 points on 10 made 3-pointers during one of the final games of the BigShots SE Top 150 Camp. Cook was also the winner of the 3-Point Shootout on the day and it came as no surprise when he got hot that he went on to finish with over 40 points in a final victory of the day.
8. 2023 wing Jordan Jones (Pine Forest)
Jordan Jones took home the MVP award for the 2023 division at the BigShots SE Top 150 Camp. When he’s locked in, Jones can score from wherever he wants on the floor, especially when he puts it on the floor and goes to the rim. He put up 17 points and 10 points in his two games during the camp.
9. 2023 guard Ryan Mackinnon (Chapel Hill)
Ryan Mackinnon is an emerging sharpshooter in the 2023 class. His decision-making is unmatched when finding ways to knock down shots from behind the arc. He scored 22 points in his final showcase game of the day, scoring on all three levels in a hurry.
10. 2024 forward Brayden Crump (Moravian Prep)
Brayden Crump is a prospect to keep eyes on in the 2024 class. He put up 26 points (22 in the first half) and 24 points in his team’s two showcase games and is starting to show a solid feel for making things happen with the ball in his hands. As he develops as a three-level scorer, he’s one to watch at Moravian Prep.
Honorable Mention
2021 – Guard – Bryce Alfino – Davidson Day
Alfino didn’t try to overdo things when he touched the floor and looked good as a combo guard. He’s a lot more patient with the ball in his hands and still aggressive on defense.
2022 – Guard – Christian Johnson – Leesville Road
Johnson showed poise handling the basketball in the open court and an ability to make plays. He’s a guard prospect to watch down the pipeline at Leesville Road.
2022 – Guard/Wing – Cinque Lemon – Fayetteville Academy
Lemon showed a nice stroke from behind the arc. He’ll need to get more aggressive when he’s on the floor, especially on the defensive boards.
