Team 8
Coach: Jordan Mann
#20: 5'8 '24 Bryce James (Mount Tabor)
Starting things off, we look at a player who performed very well despite being the smallest camper on this team, Bryce James. He's a smart, wiry, slightly undersized floor general with excellent quickness and penetration ability. James is great at breaking down defenders, touching the paint, and finishing or asserting his pull-up jumper from midrange. He's a great defender, especially for his size, and forces turnovers at a nice rate. James knows how to make a strong impact on both ends of the floor. Next in his development process is working on his ability to move without the ball, as it would open him up to more scoring opportunities alongside another lead guard. Coach Mann on James: 'Bryce is an undersized, physical point guard. Quick first step and is looking to drive and kick. He has good lift on his jumper, which helps him shoot over taller defenders. Can light it up when hot.' James did a lot of things well at camp, and should be able to carve out a useful role for Mount Tabor during the upcoming season.
#62: 5'11 '25 Carson Barnett (Calvary Day)
Next, we look at a player who showcased a polished scoring arsenal and reliable two-way presence, Carson Bennett. He's a smart, skilled, well-rounded guard prospect with an unselfish mentality and the ability to produce with or without the ball in his hands. Bennett can create for himself and others, and looks to best available play whenever possible. He's a decent defender and quality rebounder'especially for his size/position. Bennett also stands out through his high motor on both ends of the floor. Next in his development process is working to get quicker, as it would make him a more reliable on-ball defender. Coach Mann on Barnett: 'Carson displayed a smooth offensive game when he put the ball on the floor. Above-average vision with the ability to find teammates as the defense collapses, and finish through contact around the rim. He has the ability to hit the open three-pointer.' Barnett played to his strengths quite well at camp, and should be able to emerge as a contributor for Calvary Day over these next few years.
#78: 6'0 '25 Graham Moose (Willow Springs)

He's a smart, wiry, team-first guard prospect with a steady presence and the ability to thrive in situations as a spot-up shooter.

He plays hard and regularly outworks opponents for turnovers and extra possessions defensively. Moose does a great job of getting to his spots in transition. Next in his development process is working to get quicker, as it would make him a more reliable on-ball defender. Coach Mann on Moose: 'Graham is comfortable at creating his shot off the dribble.

Moose enjoyed a solid showing at camp, and will be one to watch throughout his continued progression at Willow Springs.
#110: 6'1 '26 Aidan O'Gara (Mount Tabor)
Continuing onto a player who showcased some intriguing flashes on both sides of the ball, Aidan O'Gara. He's a young, wiry guard prospect with a nice midrange pull-up and useful penetration sense. O'Gara finishes well through contact, defends his position with purpose, and pursues rebounds really well.

Aidan can continue working on his ability to hit open jumpers.' O'Gara highlighted some intriguing flashes at camp, and could become a useful piece for Mount Tabor if he continues to work.
#122: 6'2 '25 Isaiah Blair (Northwood)
Next, we look at a player who possesses an all-around skillset and identity, Isaiah Blair. He's a smart, tough, well-rounded guard prospect with nice size, length, and the ability to score the ball from all levels. Blair is arguably at his best when attacking the basket or pulling-up from midrange, but is a respectable three-point shooter and playmaker. He provides nice effort as a defender and can force turnovers at a solid rate. Blair moves without the ball, makes quality passes, and rebounds well for his size/position. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a better finisher around the basket.

Displays soft touch when he pulls up from the midrange area.' Blair enjoyed a nice showing at camp, and will be one to watch emerge for Northwood over the coming years.
#152: 6'4 '26 Isaiah Streeter (Grace Christian)

Coach Mann on Streeter: 'Isaiah is talented for his age group. Has the tendency to complain to where it affects his performance on the court. When dialed in, he can score around the rim with either hand and has the capability to step outside and hit three-pointers at a solid clip. Versatile defender with the ability to guard all five positions when locked in.' Streeter showcased a lot of tools during his time at camp, and could potentially contribute as a freshman for Grace Christian.
