Team 2
Coach: Lawrence Shivers
#25: 5'8 '24 Berkely Coon (Wake Christian)
Starting things off, we look at a player that made a solid impact despite being the smallest camper on this team, Berkely Coon. He's a wiry, unselfish guard prospect with an active motor and a willingness to play within the flow of the action. Coon displayed the ability to effectively play without the ball and knock down shots from midrange or beyond the arc. Next in his development process is working to get quicker, as it would make him a more dynamic player on both ends of the floor. Coach Shivers on Coon: 'Berkely highlighted some positive flashes throughout the day. He's a capable shooter but needs to work on being ready when coming off screens. Berkely provides effort on defense but can improve his ability to stay in front of his man at the point of attack. He has the tools to be a leader if he continues to sharpen his feel and skillset.' Coon enjoyed a nice showing at camp and should be a useful contributor for Wake Christian during his upcoming senior season.
#39: 5'10 '26 Chase Cleveland (Cary)
Next, we look at a player that is truly just beginning to scratch the surface of his long-term abilities, Chase Cleveland. He's young, active, and does a solid job of making his presence felt within the flow of the team structure. Cleveland is a decent ball-handler and passer with the ability to defer to others or apply spot-up pressure without the ball in his hands. He's a capable cutter with an understanding of how to properly find open seams within the defense. Next in his development process is working to get quicker, as it would make him a more dynamic player on both ends of the floor. Coach Shivers on Cleveland: 'Chase is a young player who should continue to develop his game in all areas. He's small, so he could be a little scrappier defensively, particularly at the point of attack. Chase is a good shooter who can capitalize when he's open. He can work on speeding up his jumper but can convert set shots.' Cleveland made a useful impact at camp and will be a prospect to watch grow over the coming years.
#46: 5'11 '26 Cameron Perdue (Greater Vision)
Moving onto a player that showcased a consistent willingness to work hard on both ends of the floor, Cameron Perdue. He's a young, wiry guard prospect with an active motor and understanding of how to make hustle plays. Perdue is a useful ball-handler and playmaker, but also makes a nice impact as a cutter and off-ball threat. Between his mechanics and spot-up presence, he displays the makings of a quality shooting threat. Next in his development process is working on getting stronger, as it would allow him to become a better finisher through contact. Coach Shivers on Perdue: 'Cameron provides great effort and clearly wants to get better. He needs to work on moving his feet defensively and understanding rotations, help defense, etc. Cameron shot the ball well off the catch, but can continue to develop his jumper off the bounce.' Perdue highlighted a variety of flashes during his time at camp and should be a prospect to watch progress over the foreseeable future.
#62: 6'0 '26 Maxim Cruz (Pamlico Christian)
Continuing onto a player that arguably stood out as the most impressive young camper on this team, Maxim Cruz. He's a young, quick, team-oriented guard prospect with a solid motor and overall feel for the game. Cruz displayed a tight handle, sharp penetration sense, and ability to consistently create for himself and others. He touches the paint at a high volume, shoots the ball at a nice percentage, and understands how to make proper reads as a playmaker. Cruz also stood out as a reliable defender with the necessary instincts to force turnovers, which led to quality looks in transition. Next in his development process is working on his ability to move without the ball, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Shivers on Cruz: 'Maxim is a very good guard. He's a great defensive player. Could honestly look to score more and be more involved as a focal point. He possesses a quick first step and knows how to handle the ball effectively. Maxim can play everywhere on the court. He has good feet, basketball knowledge, and the makings of a leader.' Cruz proved to be an asset during his time at camp and will certainly be a prospect to monitor going forward.
#67: 6'1 '26 Jamie Dance (Currituck)
Next, we look at a player that possesses an enticing crossroads between productivity and long-term upside, Jamie Dance. He's a young, tough, smart guard prospect with a high motor and understanding of how to consistently make hustle plays. Dance is a capable creator with quickness, defensive prowess, and the ability to rebound well for his size. He moves well without the ball and can knock down shots at a nice percentage as a spot-up threat. Dance is also a willing passer and useful transition threat. 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 Shivers on Dance: 'Jamie has nice size. I would like to see him be more aggressive. He works hard on the court. I'd like to see him develop his foot speed and continue to sharpen his feel for the game in order to become a better guard. Jamie has a nice jumper but can work on getting his shot off quicker.' Dance enjoyed a quality showing at camp and should continue to emerge as a key piece for Currituck.
#80: 6'4 '24 Johntez Raspberry (Greater Vision)
Moving onto a player that made a lasting impression with his overall defensive presence, Johntez Raspberry. He's a long, wiry, athletic wing/forward prospect with an excellent blend of toughness, defensive instincts, and two-way motor. Raspberry displayed a great nose for the ball and consistently found ways to involve himself in the action. He's able to secure rebounds and utilize his open-floor speed to push the break in transition. Next in his development process is working to get stronger, as it would make him an even more physically imposing player. Coach Shivers on Raspberry: 'Johntez is a great defensive player. He has the tools to play at a high level but needs to continue sharpening his feel for the game. He jumps pretty high and can play above the rim. Johntez is fast, quick, and moves well. He has a good right and left hand, and shoots the three-pointer at a respectable percentage. Johntez can also use his height to shoot over top of defenders.' Raspberry proved to be an asset throughout camp and should be poised for a productive senior season at Greater Vision.
#83: 6'4 '24 Sam Streeter (Grace Christian)
Continuing onto a player who easily stood out as one of the most productive campers on this team, Sam Streeter. He's a smart, strong, well-rounded wing prospect with the ability to naturally do a healthy amount of everything on the court. Streeter is an unselfish leader with the necessary polish, toughness, and skillset to set the tone on either side of the ball. He's a great all-around defender with sharp instincts and the ability to harass opposing ball-handlers into forced turnovers. Streeter does a nice job of controlling the tempo, getting others involved, and applying efficient scoring pressure from all levels. He also rebounds well and makes quality decisions with the ball in transition. Next in his development process is working on his ability to move without the ball, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Shivers on Streeter: 'Sam is strong, athletic, and possesses nice size. He works hard and knows how to play team basketball. Strong rebounder who impacts the glass on both ends of the floor. Sam asks questions, so I know he is coachable. His size is a great benefit to him.' Streeter was a major difference-maker at camp and should be a vital piece for Grace Christian during his upcoming senior season.
#93: 6'9 '24 Cal Barrett (Bishop McGuinness)
Next, we look at a player that possesses a lot of ability as a polished inside-out threat, Cal Barrett. He's a long, skilled, unselfish forward/post prospect with a smooth shooting stroke and a fairly versatile offensive game. Barrett has grown, gotten stronger, and expanded his game over the recent months. He's still a quality floor-spacer from midrange and beyond the arc, but has also gotten tougher as a finisher, rebounder, and interior defender. Barrett moves well for his size, makes solid passes, and provides a steady, reliable presence on both ends of the floor. Next in his development process is working on his consistency off the dribble, as it would make him an even more dynamic shooting threat. Coach Shivers on Barrett: 'Cal has lots of potential. He's a good defender at his position and around the rim. Displays touch and post ability. Cal needs to learn his worth and be more selfish at times. There were times when I wanted to see him demand the ball.' Barrett did a lot of things well during his time at camp and should be a target for various college coaches over the next calendar year.
#130: 6'3 '25 Caleb Tillman (Statesville)
Finishing up, we look at a player who consistently made his presence felt by doing the little things, Caleb Tillman. He's a long, scrappy, team-first forward prospect with great finishing ability and defensive instincts. Tillman displayed a willingness to make hustle plays whenever possible, but also worked well within the framework of the team. 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 as a cutter and spot-up threat. Coach Shivers on Tillman: 'Caleb is a good defender. He plays with solid energy but needs to work harder in order to be more involved. I'd like to see Caleb talk more, as it would lead to more touches offensively. He displays good footwork and overall instincts around the rim.' Tillman did a lot of things well during his time at camp and will be a prospect to keep an eye on over the coming years at Statesville.
