It's officially camp season, the competition and talent haven't been lacking this weekend! My first list of standouts is a versatile group made up of multiple classes and positions. There are some scholarship level guys here programs need to buy stock in now, with no further ado let's get to it!
6'8 2021 Peyton Gerald- I was thoroughly impressed with Gerald's overall impact on the game. He is an intriguing prospect with the size & length to play around the basket, but he also possesses the ball skills to fill in on the wing. Gerald can put it on the floor and take his man off the bounce without hesitation, Gerald covers a lot of ground quickly with his long strides. Gerald was making shots and ran the floor well showing off his mobility and nice touch on some full-court passes. I think Gerald is a buy now prospect, his foundation is appealing and his best basketball is ahead of him.
6'5 2021 Daniel Fulp is a true glue guy and possibly the most versatile defender at camp. Fulp plays hard at all times and makes winning plays on both ends of the floor. At 6'5 Fulp plays bigger than listed, he's physical enough to cause problems for opposing bigs & body up on them. Fulp is also agile enough to lock up on the perimeter and cause havoc for wings and guards also. Fulp is a scholarship level guy at the Division II level based on these skills alone, he can also score the basketball as well, Fulp is an adept finisher and can make the open jumper.
6'4 2021 Zanje Lee- Lee plays with a nonstop motor, he is pedal to the metal every time he's in the game. Lee is constantly all over the court making plays, Saturday he shot the rock at a high clip, he was smart with shot selection and made the most of his opportunities. Lee is elusive in space, he was slicing through defenders Saturday, he's a tough cover in transition when he's coming downhill. Lee will smother opposing guards, and makes it a personal mission to ensure his matchup is uncomfortable.
6'1 2021 Zac Duguid- Duguid is a smooth operator with the rock, he continually sidestepped and went around defenders en route to some impressive finishes at the cup. My first impression of Duguid was an impressive one, he's got serious finesse to his game, but Duguid didn't shy away from contact when it was imminent. Duguid stepped up, he wasn't afraid to be a number one scoring option for his side. Duguid was in attack mode early on applying pressure to defenses, he was effective at the cup finishing through contact and showed capability with either hand. Duguid gets so deep in the teeth of the defense they have no choice but to foul. Duguid pushes the action and kept defenders on their heels.
6'3 24' Zion Collins- Collins is the youngest standout on the list with some major upside over the next several years. Collins impressed in game one with some refreshing playmaking ability. Collins is a guy that can score the ball when he feels like it for the most part, but to see the expanded skill set, Collins getting teammates involved from the jump was reassuring. Collins can be trusted with the rock to make good decisions and help the entire offense flow smoothly as a whole. Collins does the little things that can't really be coached like being engaged on both ends, and sheer effort.
