Team 5
Coach: Austin Collins
#33: 5’9 ’25 Matthew Vaughn (Currituck)
Starting things off, we look at a player that made a quality impact despite being the smallest camper on this team, Matthew Vaughn. He’s a smart, wiry guard prospect with the ability to reliably produce from either backcourt spot and within the flow of the action. Vaughn is a capable ball-handler and passer, but also understands how to thrive as a cutter and spot-up option. He moves well without the ball, knocks down jumpers at a high percentage, and provides consistent effort on defense. Next in his development process is working to get stronger, as it would allow him to become a more physical player. Coach Collins on Vaughn: “For his size, Matthew plays really well off the ball. He rebounds his position effectively. Matthew is a great team player, but I would like to see him shoot more and utilize his perimeter jumper to apply pressure to defenses. Great team player with a high IQ.” Vaughn enjoyed a nice showing at camp and should be able to emerge as a useful contributor sooner than later for Currituck.
#36: 5’10 ’25 Chris Epps (Greater Vision)
Next, we look at a player that showcased an understanding of how to naturally fill in the gaps whenever possible, Chris Epps. He’s a wiry, unselfish guard prospect with a solid feel for the game on both ends of the floor. Epps is a quality shooter, both from midrange and beyond the arc, and poses a nice spot-up threat without the ball in his hands. He works hard defensively, on the glass, and in transition. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Collins on Epps: “I wish Chris would shoot the ball more, as he is a very capable threat from the perimeter. He can rebound and go back up strong for his size. Chris listens and plays defense. He’s also able to push the ball up the court, and should get even better at leading the break over time.” Epps did a variety of things well during his time at camp and should be able to carve out a useful role for Greater Vision going forward.
#51: 6’0 ’23 Quincey Miller (Homeschooled)
Moving onto a player that highlighted a fairly useful array of skills as an unsigned senior, Quincey Miller. He’s a steady, unselfish guard prospect with solid length and a strong penetration sense. Miller displays vision, ball skills, and a nice nose for the ball. He can create off the bounce for himself and others or find ways to make an impact as a hustle player. Miller also possesses feel and an understanding of how to produce within the flow of the action. Next in his development process is working to get quicker, as it would make him a better defender at the point of attack. Coach Collins on Miller: “Quincey gets downhill and attacks the basket very well. He defends his position with great effort. He’s very coachable in all ways and accepts criticism well, which I loved. Quincey clearly loves the game. He can continue to work on his consistency as a perimeter shooter.” Miller enjoyed a quality showing at camp and could be a solid late addition for the right program.
#57: 6’0 ’25 Elijah Sherill (Highland School of Technology)
Continuing onto a player that showcased visible progression within his overall identity, Elijah Sherrill. He’s a smart, steady, fairly well-rounded guard prospect with the tools to produce in various roles and with or without the ball in his hands. Sherrill is a sharp penetrator with the ability to finish and set up others, but can also spot-up or find opportunities as a cutter. He’s a solid defender and overall shooting threat with an understanding of how to make the right play on both ends of the floor. Next in his development process is working to tighten his handle, as it would make him a more polished creator. Coach Collins on Sherrill: “Elijah just needs to be more confident. I think that will naturally come over time. He’s a good teammate and passes the ball very well. He also knows how to get downhill and attack the basket.” Sherrill proved to be a reliable cog throughout his time at camp and should be a nice contributor for the Highland School of Technology going forward.
#72: 6’2 ’24 Zackery Goodman (Caldwell Academy)
Next, we look at a player that possesses all the necessary tools to appeal to next-level programs, Zackery Goodman. He’s a long, wiry, well-rounded wing prospect with a great blend of size, skill, and athleticism. Goodman is a polished scoring threat with the ability to create his own shot, operate without the ball, and consistently apply scoring pressure from all three levels. He’s a capable passer and spot-up threat, but typically prefers to make plays with the ball in his hands. Goodman displays feel, defensive instincts, and a strong transition presence. He’s also a capable rebounder and plays well through contact on both ends of the floor. Goodman has the tendency to heat up quickly from the perimeter. Next in his development process is working to get stronger, as it would allow him to become a more physically imposing player. Coach Collins on Goodman: “Zack has great speed and handle, but can overdribble at times. He shoots very well, creates his own shot, and can play well above the rim when attacking the basket. Zack is very athletic, pays attention, and was a great kid to coach.” Goodman did a lot of things well at camp, and should be a target for various college coaches during his upcoming senior season.
#73: 6’3 ’25 Amorie Miley (Orangeburg-Wilkinson)
Moving onto a player that simply knows how to provide a team with a steady, reliable presence on both ends of the floor, Amorie Miley. He’s a smart, wiry, team-oriented guard prospect with an understanding of how to naturally affect all facets of the game within the flow of the action. Miley is a capable creator with a useful blend of vision, ball-handling skills, and scoring prowess. He can make an impact with or without the ball in his hands and doesn’t look to force the action on offense. Miley displays length and an active motor, which he utilizes well to disrupt opponents defensively, force turnovers, and apply pressure in transition. He also rebounds well for his size and attacks the basket well. Next in his development process is working to get stronger, as it would allow him to become a more physically imposing player. Coach Collins on Miley: “Amorie is very quiet but can hoop very well. He shoots when open, plays good defense, and drives to the basket nicely. Amorie can also rebound effectively for his size. I would just like to see him be more vocal on the court.” Miley did a lot of things well throughout camp and should be able to emerge as a quality contributor for Orangeburg-Wilkinson going forward.
#77: 6’3 ’25 Ethan Kinney (Uwharrie Charter)
Continuing onto a player that arguably stood out as the top shooting threat on this team, Ethan Kinney. He’s a steady, low-maintenance wing prospect with an excellent spot-up presence and the ability to impact the game with or without the ball in his hands. Kinney understands how and when to attack closeouts, where he’s able to finish or set up others for open looks. He offers an active presence as a defender and rebounder, and knows how to get to his spots in transition. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Collins on Kinney: “Ethan can really shoot the ball! He’s able to knock down shots or take it to the hoop. He’s a great free-throw shooter and plays defense with a great motor. I loved coaching him!” Kinney consistently found ways to make his presence felt during his time at camp and should be a useful piece for Uwharrie Charter going forward.
#86: 6’5 ’23 Zion McDuffie (Butler)
Next, we look at a player that easily stood out as one of the top campers on display, Zion McDuffie. He’s a tough, explosive wing/forward prospect with powerful athleticism and the ability to consistently make plays with the ball in his hands. McDuffie poses a constant threat as a finisher above the rim, both as a penetrator and lob threat in transition, and plays very well through contact. He’s a quality cutter with instincts as a defender, rebounder, and transition player. McDuffie can create off the bounce and knock down the occasional perimeter jumper, but understands how to consistently play to his strengths. Next in his development process is working to become a craftier ball-handler, as it would help prepare him for the next level. Coach Collins on McDuffie: “Zion is very, very athletic with a great first and second jump. He’s very quick off the dribble and when getting off the floor for blocks. Possesses good size but I would like to see him work on his jumper a little more and his game will be pretty much complete.” McDuffie showed flashes of dominance at camp, securing the Offense Award, and would be a terrific late addition for a variety of programs.
#89: 6’7 ’24 Douglas Adiok (Grace Christian)
Finishing up, we look at a player that did a ton of things well as the main interior presence on this team, Douglas Adiok. He’s a tough, strong-bodied post prospect with great size and solid mobility. Adiok plays with a high motor, especially on the glass, and is capable of consistently outworking opponents as a rebounder on both ends of the floor. Adiok offers a low-maintenance presence and operates effectively within the team structure on either side of the ball. He’s a capable finisher, shot-blocker, and runs the floor well in transition. Next in his development process is working to get quicker, as it would make him better at hedging and recovering in screening situations. Coach Collins on Adiok: “This big man can rebound the ball! Douglas hustles hard from one end of the floor to the other. He can score from under the basket and is capable of protecting the rim. I loved the effort he displayed every time he was in the game.” Adiok proved to be an asset during his time at camp, and will be one to monitor for Grace Christian over the next calendar year.
