#28: 5’4 ’29 Dominick Dunn (The Burlington School)
First up, Dominick Dunn is a 5-foot-4 prospect in the Class of 2029. Despite being the smallest camper on this team, he stood out through his toughness and rugged defensive presence. The next step in his development process is working on his consistency as a three-point shooter, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Lawson on Dunn: “Dominick is a very scrappy defender who can pick up full court and force turnovers. Lacks confidence offensively but showed flashes of his offensive game. Possesses above-average ability when it comes to getting paint touches, he just needs to work on finishing at the basket.” Dunn enjoyed a quality showing at camp and will be a player to monitor going forward.
#34: 5’5 ’29 Andrew Crawther Jr. (Leroy Martin)
Next, Andrew Crawther is a 5-foot-5 prospect in the Class of 2029. He highlighted an excellent combination of scoring polish, playmaking instincts, and defensive prowess. The next step in his development process is working on moving without the ball, as it would allow him to become a better spot-up option. Coach Lawson on Crawther: “Andrew is a nice-sized point guard who can control the tempo and get to his spots. He showcased a nice display of finishes at the rim as well as knocking down the outside shot when it presented itself. Very good attacking downhill and creating for himself as well as others.” Crawther did a lot of things well at camp and has the tools to progress over the coming years.
#58: 5’8 ’29 Aden Caple (North Stanly)
Next, Aden Caple is a 5-foot-8 prospect in the Class of 2029. He provided a steady two-way presence with the ability to fill in the gaps on either end of the floor. The next step in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a better creator against defensive pressure. Coach Lawson on Caple: “Aden showed he was able to get to the rim at will and finish easy layups. Competed really hard on defense, both off-ball and at the point of attack. When given the outside shot, he didn’t hesitate. Although they didn’t always go in, they were all good reads and shots you want him to take.” Caple made a nice impact at camp and will be a player to watch grow over the foreseeable future.
#62: 5’8 ’29 Dyshawn Mosley (Palmetto)
Next, Dyshawn Mosley is a 5-foot-8 prospect in the Class of 2029. Between his motor, penetration ability, and unselfish approach to the game, he found several ways to make an impact. The next step in his development process is working on his ability to move without the ball, as it would allow him to find more scoring chances as a cutter and spot-up option. Coach Lawson on Mosley: “Dyshawn is a bigger-sized guard that can create downhill shots for himself. He caught fire from beyond the arc in the last game, knocking down several catch-and-shoot jumpers. His effort on defense and off the ball needs to improve.” Mosley made a solid impact during his time at camp and should continue to progress over the coming years.
#86: 5’9 ’29 Jones Chavis (Phoenix Academy)

The next step in his development process is working to improve his rebounding presence, as it would allow him to immediately push the break in transition. Coach Lawson on Chavis: “Jones is a very shifty guard who can create whatever shot he wants. Uses his body well and has very good counter moves. His catch-and-shoot ability is solid. He shoots it from deep range with confidence. If he would match his defensive effort with his offensive effort, he can easily be one of the best kids from camp.” Chavis did a lot of things well at camp and has the tools to trend upward over the foreseeable future.
#94: 5’10 ’29 Braxton Ware (Southern Alamance)
Next, Braxton Ware is a 5-foot-10 prospect in the Class of 2029. He showcased a steady two-way identity and a variety of intriguing tools as a long-term piece. The next step in his development process is working on being more assertive, as it would allow him to be a more impactful player. Coach Lawson on Ware: “Braxton showed glimpses at times of the potential player he could be but, for the most part, never really got comfortable or outside of his shell. Displayed a nice change of pace with the ball in his hands and knocks down jumpers well in catch-and-shoot situations.” Ware enjoyed a solid showing at camp and will be one to watch as he harnesses his upside going forward.

The next step in his development process is working on getting quicker, as it would make him a better defender when switching onto smaller guards. Coach Lawson on Scott: “Calvin is a great rebounder for his size. He passes the ball really well from the post as well as finishing around the rim. The second and third game, he knocked down several shots from beyond the arc. Foot quickness slowed him down at times, but he was still able to have a positive impact throughout the day.” Scott offered a useful presence on both ends of the floor during camp and has the tools to progress over the coming years.

The next step in his development process is working to improve his rebounding presence, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Lawson on Hurley: “Ethan was very easily (in my opinion) one of the best players in the gym. He didn’t show any weaknesses in any of the three games well played. He displayed his ability to do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. Great handle, footwork, and jumper. Had a ton of crazy finishes at the rim. Overall, Ethan is a really solid player.” Hurley proved to be a difference-maker at camp and will be a player to watch closely going forward.

He possesses an impressive combination of size, skill, and athleticism, which allows him to overwhelm opponents in a variety of different ways. The next step in his development process is improving his footwork, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Lawson on Melvin: “Noah is crazy-athletic.

Had a great showing on both ends of the floor.” Melvin showcased a lot of appeal during camp and will be a player to monitor going forward.

The next step in his development process is working to get quicker, as it would make him a better defender when switching onto smaller guards. Coach Lawson on O’Daniel: “Tolson is a really good stretch big man with guard skills. Whenever he touched the ball near the rim, it was a bucket. Really good rebounder on both ends of the floor. Good feet and hands around the rim. Has a ton of upside if he stays locked in the gym.” O’Daniel made a quality impact during camp and will be a player to watch progress over the coming years.
