#10: 5’4 ’29 Logan Warren (Meadowlark)

Warren scored with efficiency from all levels, created for others at a strong rate, and overwhelmed opponents defensively. He also rebounded well and made smart decisions with the ball in his hands. Next in his development process is working to add strength, as it will help prepare him for the physicality of the high school game. Coach Lewis on Warren: “Logan was one of the toughest kids at camp. He impacted winning on both sides of the floor. Not the biggest guy on the court, but plays with a big heart and a lot of passion. Pressured the ball defensively and regularly guarded the length of the court. Crafty, unselfish playmaker. Good shooter off the bounce. Will have to continue to find ways to impact the game going forward, particularly at his size. Great teammate. Award winner because he competed and played tough.” Warren was a top performer at camp, finishing fourth in scoring at 15.0 PPG and winning the Playmaker Award. Expect him to continue progressing over the foreseeable future.
#11: 5’4 ’30 Jared Vaughters (South Davie)
Next, we look at a player who made an excellent impact despite his lack of size, Jared Vaughters. He’s a smart, unselfish guard prospect with a high motor and a fairly well-rounded array of skills. Vaughters does a little bit of everything on the court and displays a great understanding of how to fill in the gaps on both ends of the floor. Next in his development process is working on adding strength, as it will help prepare him for the physicality of the high school game. Coach Lewis on Vaughters: “Even though Jared was one of the smallest guys at camp, he found ways to make an impact. Good creator off the bounce. Will have to continue to work on finishing over bigger defenders. Was really good when he had the ball in his hands. Could be more engaged in the game when operating as an off-ball threat. Good spot-up threat. Fun player to coach. Jared did a good job of playing within the framework of the game and responding to criticism.” Vaughters made a quality impact at camp and will be a prospect to monitor going forward.
#15: 5’5 ’31 Lance Chapman (Revolution Academy)
Moving forward, we look at a player who showcased a lot of polish despite being one of the youngest campers on display, Lance Chapman. He’s a smart, skilled guard prospect with great scoring instincts and a scrappy defensive nature. Chapman rebounded well for his size and contained his assignment defensively. He shoots the ball at a high clip from the perimeter but also finishes effectively around the basket. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a better creator. Coach Lewis on Chapman: “Lance showed the ability to score the basketball from multiple levels. Knocked down shots from the perimeter and showcased capabilities off the bounce. Good anticipation instincts defensively and on the glass. Lance could’ve been more engaged when he didn’t have the ball in his hands. Solid all-around defender who won a lot of 50/50 balls.” Chapman did a lot of things well at camp and should only continue to progress over the coming years.
#20: 5’6 ’30 Carter Johnson (Hawfields)
Continuing forward, we look at a player who made a lasting impression through his nonstop motor and well-rounded identity, Carter Johnson. He’s a polished, skilled guard prospect with the ability to impact all facets of the game. Johnson scores with efficiency from all levels, sets up others, and wreaks havoc as a defender. He’s also a terrific rebounder for his size/position. Johnson is adaptable to several types of roles. Next in his development process is working on his ability to move without the ball, as it would allow him to find more scoring opportunities. Coach Lewis on Johnson: “Carter is a terrific competitor who plays with a very high motor. Really good defensively and on the glass. He was able to create second-chance opportunities through his relentless approach, both on the glass and chasing down loose balls. Extremely coachable and plays his role. Does all the little things on the court. I really enjoyed coaching him. Did everything I told him to do. Carter was good at getting downhill and finishing around the rim. Displayed a willingness to learn.” Johnson proved to be a real asset at camp and should be a prospect to keep an eye on going forward.
#46: 5’10 ’29 Luke Newman (Caldwell Academy)
Next, we look at a player who easily stood out among the top campers in attendance, Luke Newman. He’s a smart, skilled, crafty guard prospect with excellent scoring polish and useful playmaking instincts. Newman creates well for himself and others while applying constant pressure from all levels. He displays solid instincts as a defender and rebounder. Next in his development process is working on getting stronger, as it’ll allow him to become a more physically imposing player. Coach Lewis on Newman: “Luke was MVP of the camp. Plays hard, competes, and brings energy/passion to a team. Does a lot of the dirty work. He will need to learn how to control his emotions at times. Finished well getting downhill and through contact. Fought hard for every rebound and loose ball. Caused chaos defensively and did force several turnovers, but gambled too much at times. Showed the ability to knock down shots from the perimeter. Can get caught up in being slightly selfish or doing too much at times. Luke was a big part of this team going undefeated.” Newman was a standout performer, finishing second in scoring at 16.0 PPG and earning MVP honors. He has the tools to continue blossoming over the coming years.
#47: 5’10 ’30 Cameron Dial (Westchester Country Day)
Finishing up, we look at a player who showcased an advanced identity for his age, Cameron Dial. He’s a smart, skilled guard prospect with great size, length, and perimeter shooting ability. Dial possesses excellent mechanics, consistency, and the ability to heat up quickly from beyond the arc. Dial is a capable playmaker and useful defender who competes with great effort. Next in his development process is working to add strength, as it will help prepare him for the physicality of the high school game. Coach Lewis on Dial: “Cameron was one of the most skilled players at camp, especially shooting the basketball from the perimeter. He has the ability to knock down shots off the catch or bounce. Plays with a lot of confidence. Will have to learn how he’s going to impact the game without shooting. Good ball-handler and overall creator but could make better decisions and improve his off-hand. Good player and kid who has a bright future if he continues to work and get better. Award winner and key piece for this team.” Dial enjoyed an impressive showing at camp, finishing sixth in scoring at 13.7 PPG and earning the Offense Award. Only a seventh-grader, he has a lot of appeal.
