The past weekend, Phenom Hoops hosted our annual Team Camp in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Between the individual talent, collection of teams, and overall competition, there were a lot of meaningful takeaways. College coaches were in attendance from start to finish, and several players made lasting impressions with their play. After playing (and winning) two games on Friday, it was clear that Greer was easily one the teams worthy of increased attention. Guys like Myles Hames, Chase Littlefield, and multiple others made a quality impact, but this group is clearly led by the trio of Amare Anderson, Isaiah Henry, and Mikey Williams. Let’s take a closer look at each of the three…
Although they approach the game with terrific balance, Anderson stands out as the primary leader for this group. He’s an incredibly tough floor general with a high motor and excellent feel on both ends of the floor. Anderson applies consistent downhill pressure, where he’s able to effectively finish or set up others. He shoots the ball at a solid clip and appears comfortable as a pull-up threat in the midrange. That being said, Anderson is at his best when getting downhill or attacking in transition. Defensively, he’s capable of providing a game-changing presence at the point of attack. Anderson displays quickness, physicality, and sharp instincts. He should be coveted by a variety of scholarship-level programs.
His senior cohort, Henry, stands out as a major x-factor for this group. He possesses college-level ability as a tough, fairly versatile wing prospect who naturally fills in the gaps on both ends of the floor. Henry is a rugged defender who can guard multiple positions, physically overwhelm opponents, and force turnovers at a quality rate. In addition to making hustle plays and doing the dirty work, he scored the ball in an efficient manner from multiple levels. Henry also utilizes his length and athleticism to frequently outwork opponents on the glass. Expect his stock to steadily rise over the coming months.
Rounding out the trio, Williams is the lone junior listed. He’s a well-rounded player but often stands out through his effortless ability to score the ball. Whether off the catch or bounce, Williams is a polished offensive weapon. He mixes it up at a terrific rate from all levels, displaying the necessary shooting prowess and toughness through contact to consistently take whatever the defense gives him. Williams attacks the basket and finishes well with either hand, but also makes opponents pay when left open along the perimeter. He’s a willing passer who looks to make the right read with the ball in his hands. Add in his feel and defensive prowess, and it’s easy to see what makes him such a valuable piece for this group.
