Team 5
Coach: Geter
#23: 5’11 ’24 Xavier Perry (Victory Christian)
Starting things off, we look at a player who provides a reliable presence as a two-way floor general, Xavier Perry. He’s a smart, unselfish, high-motor point guard prospect with a tight handle and excellent vision. Perry penetrates well and finishes strong around the basket, displaying a crafty sense and the ability to play through contact. He’s a useful midrange shooter and showed flashes of being effective from beyond the arc, but doesn’t look to force the action or dominate the ball offensively. Next in his development process is working on his ability to move without the ball, as it would allow him to play more seamlessly alongside another primary ball-handler. Coach Geter on Perry: “Xavier is a true point guard that can run a team. He’s a pass-first player who can finish around the basket and makes it look easy. Xavier can shoot from midrange and knock down the open three-pointer. Although a good defender, I would like to see him continue improving.” Perry enjoyed a quality showing at camp and should be a quality contributor for Victory Christian during his upcoming senior season.
#34: 5’5 ’26 Dylan McFarland (Rocky River)
Next, we look at a player who made a solid impact despite being the smallest camper on this team, Dylan McFarland. He’s a tough, scrappy guard with a high motor and quality feel for the game on both ends of the floor. McFarland utilizes his quickness to mirror opponents defensively and harass ball-handlers into miscues or errant turnovers. He rebounds very well for his size/position and is fast enough to push transition play at a high volume. 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 Geter on McFarland: “Dylan is a quick shifty lead guard who can defend the length of the court. He hit floaters and knocked down midrange shots. He’s always looking to push the break and his speed allows him to do so.” McFarland highlighted a useful array of skills during his time at camp and will be a prospect to watch grow for Rocky River over the coming years.
#56: 5’10 ’25 Loucas Shoaf (Oak Grove)
Moving onto a player who seems to consistently produce and find ways to make his presence felt, Loucas Shoaf. He’s a scrappy, skilled, well-rounded guard prospect with a high motor and great two-way feel for the game. Shoaf is a reliable shooting threat, both from midrange and beyond the arc, but can also attack closeouts and finish or set up others. He’s capable of causing problems for opponents with his presence as an on-ball defender, but also anticipates well and can intercept passing lanes to force turnovers. Shoaf also moves well without the ball and rebounds at a solid rate for his size/position. Next in his development process is working on getting stronger, as it would make him a more physical player. Coach Geter on Shoaf: “Loucas can make plays from either guard position due to his unlimited range and ability to initiate the offense. Plays with grit on defense. Loucas has a quick release and will hurt opponents if they don’t close out.” Shoaf proved to be a difference-maker throughout camp and should be a focal point for Oak Grove over these next two seasons.
#59: 5’10 ’25 Calvin Kouch (Rabun Gap)
Continuing onto a player who consistently showcased a willingness to do whatever necessary to provide his team with an edge, Calvin Kouch. He’s a scrappy, high-motor guard prospect with a natural understanding of how to fill in the gaps on both ends of the floor. Kouch defended, rebounded, and found ways to hit the occasional jumper within the flow of the team structure. He looked to make hustle plays whenever possible and sacrificed his body for extra opportunities. Kouch also forced turnovers and outworked his assignment on a consistent basis. Next in his development process is working on his creation skills, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Geter on Kouch: “Every team needs a player like Calvin. He dives on the floor, takes charges, and keeps his man in front of him defensively. Solid defender. Calvin’s offensive progression will come.” Kouch showed some nice flashes at camp and should be able to carve out a useful role for Rabun Gap sooner than later.
#89: 6’1 ’25 James Wood (Hickory Ridge)
Next, we look at a player who highlighted flashes of utter dominance during his time at camp, James Wood. He’s a polished, crafty, well-rounded guard prospect with a great blend of IQ, skill, and athleticism. Wood is an excellent scorer from all levels, regularly burdening the offensive load while still displaying the ability to reliably create clean looks for himself and others. That being said, he also mixed it up at a healthy volume and took what the defense gave him. Wood attacked the basket, hit jumpers off the bounce, and found numerous opportunities as an off-ball threat. He utilizes his quickness to touch the paint offensively and mirror his assignment at the point of attack. Next in his development process is working on his presence as a spot-up option, as it’ll only make him more difficult for opponents to contain. Coach Geter on Wood: “This kid can play on both ends of the floor, not just offense. James defends on and off the ball and plays well in transition. He can take opponents off the bounce and hit midrange jumpers. Streaky but good from distance” Wood shined as a leader during camp, securing the Mr. Offense award, and should have a productive season for Hickory Ridge.

Moving onto a player who continues to showcase steady growth with each viewing, Jacques Dalton. He’s a strong, physical guard prospect with a quality penetration sense and the ability to finish through contact around the basket.

He’s a solid defender who understands how to get back in transition. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a better playmaker. Coach Geter on Dalton: “Jacques is a strong guard who can finish with either hand. He can play with his back to the basket. Stands out as a scrappy defender and fearless penetrator when attacking the basket. Arguably better shooting off the dribble.” Dalton enjoyed a quality showing at camp and should be a strong contributor for Northwest Guilford going forward.
#108: 6’2 ’26 Maxim Cruz (Pamlico Christian)
Continuing onto a player who found ways to do a little bit of everything on the court, Maxim Cruz. He’s a young, wiry, high-motor guard prospect with an unselfish mentality and well-rounded skillset. Cruz showed the ability to initiate the offense, play without the ball, and score from all levels. He’s a willing passer and spot-up option with an understanding of how to produce within his role. Cruz hits jumpers, attacks the basket, and provides excellent energy as a defender and rebounder. He proved to be extremely reliable at filling in the gaps on both ends of the floor. Next in his development process is working on his consistency as a shooter off the bounce, as it would make him a more lethal scoring threat. Coach Geter on Cruz: “Maxim can mix it up inside and outside the paint. He rebounds well for his size/position and plays with grit and intensity.

His long wingspan causes a ton of turnovers and difficult shots for opponents.” Williamson did a variety of things well during his time at camp and will be a prospect to monitor for Parkland over the foreseeable future.
#128: 6’5 ’25 Elliott Erlandsson (Davie County)
Moving onto a player who showcased an adaptable, malleable presence throughout camp, Elliott Erlandsson. He’s a strong, high-motor forward with a useful amount of skill and the ability to cause problems for opponents as an inside-out option. Erlandsson handles, passes, and shoots the ball well for his size/position but can also play inside and make his presence felt. He scores on the block, out of the two-man action, and is capable of hitting jumpers from midrange or beyond the arc. Erlandsson moves properly without the ball and finishes well through contact around the basket. He makes hustle plays, outworks opponents defensively, and consistently battles on the glass. Next in his development process is continuing to develop his post arsenal, as it would allow him to take advantage of smaller opponents on switches. Coach Geter on Erlandsson: “Elliott is a solid player in the pick-and-roll. He can pop or finish with either hand around the basket. He plays defense with passion and hates to get scored on.” Erlandsson proved to be an asset for his team during camp and should be a useful contributor for Davie County going forward.

Coach Geter on Kevorkian: “Roupen is an athletic forward with nice size and great footwork. He has a niche for playing around the basket but can stretch the defense and hit jumpers at a solid clip. Roupen can rebound and finish well with his off-hand.” Kevorkian enjoyed a nice showing at camp and should be able to carve out a useful role for Freedom Christian during the upcoming season.
