Player Standouts at Phenom Jamboree

6'4 '23 Cole Callaway (Lake Norman) After joining this team over the summer, it should come as no surprise to see Callaway standing out as a primary leader for this group. He consistently hit shots, both off the catch and bounce, and operated as an offensive focal point from start to finish. Callaway attacked closeouts, made unselfish passes, and defended his position effectively. He should be...

Dawkins’ Standouts from Phenom Champion Showcase (Part 1)

By; DeAjai Dawkins 6'7 2023 Matai Baptiste (Vaughn Panthers Basketball 16U)' Arguably my most memorable prospect from this weekend, Baptiste and his Vaughn Panthers Basketball Club made the trip from Canada on a clear mission. The 6'7 faceup forward is built for the college game with a frame that will only continue to stack on muscle. Baptiste is fluid and handles the ball fairly well for his...

Dawkins’ Day One Standouts: Phenom MDC

By; DeAjai Dawkins 6'3 2022 Sean Sucarichi (Rock United 17U) Sean assumed a primary play-making role for this team from the wing. He also served as their most reliable rebounder. He seems to be tracking toward a potentially elite-level of play. I personally believe Sean is another example of a player that could benefit heavily from greater assertion on the offensive end, he has the talent for...

Player Standouts at Phenom Memorial Day Classic

6'6 '22 Jeremy Dixon (Team Eat) Team Eat offered a pretty balanced attack as a team, but Dixon continually found ways to set the tone and stand out as a two-way leader for this group. He's a long, skilled, athletic wing prospect with an excellent transition presence and the ability to score the ball from all levels. Dixon makes a consistent impact on the glass, defensively, and in transition,...

DeAjai Dawkins' Day 2 Standouts #PhenomSummerHavoc

By; DeAjai Dawkins 5'10 2022 Wesley McGee (CC Elite 2022) Wesley is an athletic guard with a slender, toned frame. He initiates almost all offense from outside the perimeter due to his comfortability with pulling the three, but won't hesitate to use his athleticism to get into the lane. He has yet to fully tap into his potential, as he can be relied on as much more of a consistent offensive...
