We've seen a lot of players come through our doors over the years, varying in appearance, skill level, and everything in between. We decided to put forth a series on some players who have attended events over the past few years but still remain on the lesser-known side of things. Each of these prospects embody being a student-athlete and getting it done in the classroom as well as on the basketball court, and today's edition will take a closer look at Glenn Bynum Jr. of Carmel Christian.
We've seen Bynum consistently grow throughout the years, including at our recent NC Phenom 150 Camp, where we stated, 'Next, we look at a player that seems to always stand out with his nonstop motor and team-first approach, Glenn Bynum Jr. He's an extremely hard worker from the guard position and knows how to make his presence consistently felt without necessarily requiring the ball in his hands. Bynum is a great cutter and solid all-around scorer that defends with purpose and forces turnovers at a strong rate. Next in his development process is working on his consistency as a three-point shooter, as it would take his offensive game to another level. Coach Padgett on Bynum: 'Glenn was amazing when it comes to rebounding the basketball. He was an amazing person who loves the game of basketball. Glenn competed on both ends of the floor and shot the ball well but can always improve on his three-pointer. He was great at moving without the ball. Glenn is a great kid.' Bynum is the type of player that every team can use, which should make him a valuable asset during the upcoming season for Carmel Christian.'
Bynum's motor and undeniable work ethic have been two of the most obvious constants within his game across his progression. He's a willing hustle player that fights for rebounds, loose balls, and understands how to be a downright menace defensively. Bynum is a very smart, useful cutter and capable spot-up threat with a nice combination of size, skill, and athleticism. He's great in transition, both with or without the ball in his hands, and understands how to consistently fill in the gaps on either end of the floor. Bynum does a quality amount of everything without forcing the action or necessarily requiring the ball in his hands. He should have a long list of college coaches in pursuit during the upcoming season.
