Khalil Caple 6'1 150 2025 Kings Fork HS (VA) / Team Loaded 757

I've watched Khalil for two years shred the nets at various events as a guy who could run to spots and knockdown spot-up jumpers all day and mix in the occasional one and two dribble pullup.' Smooth stroke, textbook mechanics, confidence, and deep range; the look of a natural-born shooter!' 'As his game and body have matured the guy whose every three-point shot attempt provoked the expectation the shot was going in the basket has now transformed from simply a sharpshooting perimeter threat to a three-level scoring concern whose shot-making prowess is complemented by more versatility as a shooter and physical drives to the rim demonstrating a feathery touch on his pull-ups and runners and a nice touch using the glass.' Khalil Caple can put the ball in the basket plain and simple!' He gets taller and taller every time I see him and the broad-shouldered guard has a frame that suggests plenty more length is coming.'

His game still features the threat of his jumper and seemingly limitless range but throw the old scouting reports away, Khalil Caple can beat defenders attacking the rim as well!' He uses jabs and crossovers and a sudden burst allowing him to get an angle which he attacks with a fair amount of quickness and determined strides.' His strong upper body undaunted by contact as he makes his way to the rim.' Khalil knows when to end the drive and hits pull-ups at a very good rate and also fights off contact to finish around the rim.' Shows nice touch on runners and uses the glass nicely.' His offensive versatility was on full display at the recent Team Mate Nationals where Khalil averaged over 17 points per game.' ' He continues to add variety off the dribble both as a scorer and a passer but given his rapid development and the fact he has the luxury of being the son of a highly regarded coach I'm confident we will see continued growth in his already productive offensive game.' Khalil is becoming a more versatile defender and shows good instincts off the ball.' Guards either wing nicely and also battles inside for rebounds.' Khalil benefits from being the son of one of the area’s most highly regarded coaches in Kings Fork High School Head JV Coach and Varsity Assistant Terry Caple.'

Kings Fork High School won a state title a year ago largely on a roster of players who developed their game under Coach Caple's watchful eye at the JV level.' Coach Caple opted to join the US Navy after High School and was a member of the US Navy travel basketball team.' He retired after 30 years of service as a commissioned officer.' Coach Caple's wife,' Khalil's Mom is Norview Elementary School (Norfolk VA) Principle Kathy Nielsen-Caple who is also a huge basketball influence as she played her college basketball at the University of Iowa.' The basketball influence doesn't stop there!' Khalil's Aunt is ACC Basketball Legend and former Clemson star Peggy Caple, a 1,000 point scorer who also grabbed over 1,000 rebounds in her distinguished career.' Her 298 career blocked shots rank her among the ACC's all-time shot blocking leaders!' Khalil certainly is surrounded by basketball success at home and at school playing for a state power at Kings Fork High School under his Dad and under the tutelage of head varsity coach Rick Hite who has built a perennial winner at Kings Fork.' Coach Hite played his college basketball at San Jose State and has coached up guys like NFL star Russell Wilson and NBAer Frank Mason.' His AAU coach is former UVA and Boston Celtics star, Junior Burrough!'

Khalil is in good hands in all areas!' I expect the humble and hard-working Khalil Caple will continue his impressive development and who knows what lies ahead.' He certainly had tons of potential and influence on his side and the drive to continue his basketball development and his winning ways.' Already a feared perimeter scorer his newfound variety off the dribble makes him a player coaches should be watching going forward.'
