Continue ReadingSunday it was the upperclassmen’s turn to get some run at the City of Basketball Love camp and the cream rose to the top. What made this setting special was that, for a region known for producing 5’11-6’3 guards, majority of the standouts were 6’5 or taller. With so many quality hoopers at the camp, I named my MVP and highlighted a skill or two of several other standouts.
Matija Radunovic Matija Radunovic 6'7" | PF Roman Catholic | 2022 State PA | 6’7 F | Roman Catholic 2022
Sunday’s performance felt like a coming out party for Radunovic and earned my personal camp MVP. Matija plays on an already talented Roman Catholic team (Brown, Farmer & Skillings), but he showed that he’s on par with those guys too. A wing-forward who was asked to play the 5 at the camp, Matija made everything look effortless – cross court passes, pull-up threes, attacking the basket, pushing the ball in transition, etc. And he brought a cerebral-yet-gritty mindset to match his skill. Radunovic shouldn’t be under the radar for much longer.
JP Baron JP Baron 6'2" | CG Pope John Paul II | 2022 State PA | 6’2 G | Pope John Paul II 2022
This young man brought it all day. JP led his team with scoring, as well as effort and energy. The passion he played with, on top of the threes he knocked down and his defense, was the glue that made his squad the best one of the camp.
Brady Cole | 6’7 W | Phelps School 2022
Brady somewhat played out of position but it only showed his versatility. He comfortably matched up against opposing bigs, switched on to guards, and protected the rim. On offense, the Phelps wing showed off his jumper and handled the rock a little bit.
Michael Farley Michael Farley 6'7" | PF Central Bucks South | 2022 State PA | 6’7 F/C | Central Bucks South 2022
With his lean and muscular frame and fluid movement, Farley turned up at the camp. He displayed the upside to be a 4 or 5 in college based on his ability to rim-run and stretch the floor. Michael was impressive, to say the least.
Denzel Figueroa Denzel Figueroa 6'5" | SF Engineering & Sciences | 2022 PA | 6’5 F | Engineering & Science 2022
“Zell” did his thing from the mid-post and and down on the block, using his footwork to get good looks. Defensively, he grabbed boards, provided help and altered shots.
Earle Greer Jr | 6’6 W | Rocktop Academy 2022
With or without his jumper (which is normally lethal), EJ moved extremely well without the ball – finding open windows in the defense and cutting. His length bothered offenses and he got his hands into lanes to deflect passes.
Jacen Holloway Jacen Holloway 6'4" | SF Devon Prep | 2023 State PA | 6’3 F | Devon Prep 2023
Using his tree trunks for legs, Holloway posted up defenders his size and bigger. His powerful lower body also helped him push slashers off their spots at the point of attack.
Gabe Massenburg | 6’6 F/C | Phoenixville 2022
The big from Phoenixville was a fire hydrant on defense and a tank with some bounce on offense. His sturdy build made it hard for teams to score in the paint. Gabe made sure to let folks know he can cash in open jumpers too.
Jordon Poole | 5’10 G | Burlington Twp (NJ) 2023
The NJ native made sure to standout in a sea of small guards. Jordan’s acceleration was remarkable. Once he got in traffic, he converted his looks using scoop layups and other crafty moves.
Gavin Schauder Gavin Schauder 6'8" | PF Spring Ford | 2022 State PA | 6’8 F | Spring-Ford 2022
Gavin was everywhere. He stretched the floor and slashed to the rim. He went to work on the block with traditional post moves. And of course, the Pioneer conference forward wreaked havoc on the glass.
