Carmel Christian Tip-Off Christian Event Link

The week is finally here high school basketball fans… The season is here for Phenom Hoop Report and we are kicking off the high school year in a big way in Charlotte this weekend with the Carmel Christian Tip-Off Classic. 

With a loaded schedule and a full breakdown, which can be found here (Click Here), we start our coverage by break down a few teams at the event.

——

Team: Hickory Grove Christian

2021 6’4 guard AJ Smith

It can be a little confusing about Smith.  He averaged over 25 points and has offers/ the attention of high-major programs but still, many fans may not know of him.  Smith is an absolute bull on the court, using his strength to get downhill; there aren’t too many that can stop him.  Add on top his ability to knock down open jumpers, something he has worked incredibly hard at, Smith is starting to showcase the whole package.  He will be must-see to start the event off on Friday.

2021 6’3 guard Chas Stinson

With some key players gone from last year, Stetson will be looked at to be the do-it-all type player and he has the talent to do so.  He may be 6’3 but has a 6’7 wingspan, scores the ball, can be a secondary ball-handler, as well as be a key rebounder.  Stetson can and will be depended on to fill up the box score for this team in many ways.

2022 5’10 guard DJ Cuttino

Cuttino is one of, if not the, best shooter on the team.  With a consistent feel and touch from behind the arc, Cuttino can get hot from deep and be a consistent threat from the perimeter.  He also gets it done on the defensive end, as he never backs down from a challenge.  His skill set and leadership will be a big part of this team.

Also watch for 2021 Jordon Nelson, 2021 Jasiah Wilson, 2021 Sunny Jackson, and others to step up on the floor.
