Team 9
Coach: Bronal Gary
#47: 5’8 ’22 Jordan Harrison (Uwharrie Charter)
Starting things off, we look at a player that performed quite well despite being the smallest camper on this team, Jordan Harrison. He’s a tough, heady lead guard prospect with a high motor, unselfish mentality, and solid defensive instincts. Harrison shoots the ball very well from the perimeter, but also displays the ability to attack the basket and set up others. Next in his development process is working to get stronger, as it would make him a better finisher through contact. Coach Gary on Harrison: “Jordan runs the court well in transition; he hits the wings, and knows how to spot-up in the open areas in the corner to get off his shot. He is good at penetrating and finding the open man on the wing. Jordan is also a good on-ball defender. To be a better player, he can work on his transition defense, getting stronger in the weight room, and his off-hand dribble.” Harrison enjoyed a nice showing at camp and should be able to carve out a productive role during his upcoming senior season.
#70: 5’10 ’23 Bryce Jackson (Parkland)
Next, we look at a player that consistently found ways to make hustle plays and do the little things, Bryce Jackson. He’s a tough, high-motor guard prospect with an understanding of how to make an impact with or without the ball in his hands. Jackson displays solid vision, moves effectively as a cutter, and rebounds the ball at a strong rate for his size. Next in his development process is working to get stronger, as it would make him a more reliable finisher through contact. Coach Gary on Jackson: “Bryce has a great court sense and knows where to be on the floor. He moves very well without the ball, rebounds well at his position, and gives good effort on both ends of the floor. He needs to get stronger, work at shooting the ball with more consistency in spot-up situations, and getting stronger with his off-hand.” Jackson did a lot of things well during his time at camp and has the tools to emerge as a strong contributor sooner than later for Parkland.
#79: 5’11 ’23 Dylan McBride (West Carteret)
Moving onto a player that was arguably the most polished, consistent all-around force on this team, Dylan McBride. He’s a smart, very well-rounded guard prospect with a high motor, team-first mentality, and excellent balance between playmaking and three-level scoring. McBride is a great creator but also works extremely well without the ball in his hands. Next in his development process is working on getting quicker, as it would make him an even better penetrator. Coach Gary on McBride: “Dylan is a very solid basketball player. He’s very polished and crafty with the basketball. On top of that, he is tough as nails. He can use either hand, shot with range, scored driving the ball to the basket against bigger defenders, moves well without the ball, and has great footwork. Dylan can also pick up man-to-man on defense, both full court or half, and keep the offensive player from being comfortable and doing what he normally does. Dylan just needs to get stronger and score more from the midrange.” McBridge proved to be a definite asset at camp and should be a productive piece for West Carteret during his upcoming junior season.
#87: 6’0 ’22 Cameron Stout (Salisbury)
Continuing onto a player that showcased a variety of useful tools throughout his time at camp, Cameron Stout. He’s a strong, physical wing prospect with a high motor and capable perimeter shooting abilities. Stout utilizes his body well inside the paint to rebound and play bigger than his size on both ends of the floor. 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. Coach Gary on Stout: “Cameron is really good at using his body and getting his shot off inside the paint. He has a really good jumper on the perimeter. In addition, he is never in a rush and takes his time to allow the play to properly develop. Cam is a very good rebounder at his position. He will need to increase his ball-handling skills going either direction in order to take his game to the next level.” Stout made a quality impact at camp and could be poised for a productive senior season at Salisbury.

Howard is a very solid player.” Herbert showcased a ton of ability throughout camp and will be someone to watch closely over the coming years.
#105: 6’1 ’22 CJ Redd (Atkins)
Continuing onto a player that made his presence felt as the most imposing all-around defender on this team, CJ Redd. He’s a long, wiry wing prospect with excellent quickness, rebounding instincts, and the ability to shut down multiple positions defensively. Redd made great passes, hits midrange jumpers, and forces turnovers at a consistent rate. Next in his development process is working to become a more consistent three-point shooter, as it would take his offensive game to another level. Coach Gary on Redd: “CJ was absolutely the best defender on the team and at the camp. He runs the floor extremely well, anticipates at a very high level, and can defend guards, forwards, and centers. CJ has long arms and can block shots with either hand. He’s great at penetration and getting to the basket. CJ can finish as well. He needs to work on his jumper, full-court ball-handling, and moving without the ball.” Redd proved to be a clear asset throughout camp and should be a useful piece for Atkins during his upcoming senior season.
