6’3 ’20 Jules Bikoy (Fork Union)
Arguably the most impressive prospect on either team, Bikoy should be a clear priority amongst scholarship-level coaches. He’s a strong, physical wing prospect with an excellent motor and a quality feel for the game on both ends of the floor. Bikoy is a useful shot-maker with the ability to spot-up or reliably create for himself or others off the bounce. He’s displays great all-around athleticism, sharp defensive instincts, and incredible two-way leadership. Bikoy truly embodies the traits of a winner.
6’0 ’20 Jared Clawson (Olympus Prep)
Though slightly undersized, the point guard prospect was certainly among the more impressive performers on display. He hit big shots, made smart passes, and was excellent defensively from start to finish. Clawson displayed IQ and made an abundance of plays within the flow of the action. He’s great in transition and offered a steady presence on both ends of the floor.
6’7 ’20 Cam Tweedy (Olympus Prep)
It was fairly easy to see the impact from Tweedy on nearly every possession, given his well-rounded skillset and approach. He’s attacked the basket and scored on a variety of crafty penetration opportunities, but also displayed the necessary vision and unselfishness to make the extra pass. Tweedy also rebounded the ball well and defended multiple positions throughout this contest. He has the tools to be a very useful player at the next level.
6’3 ’21 Christian Wright (TSF/Iona commit)
After seeing TSF multiple times last summer, it should come as no surprise to see Wright leading the charge yet again. He’s a big, strong guard prospect with an all-around skillset and approach as the tone-setter on either end of the floor. Wright does a lot of everything for this group, effortlessly dictating the offensive tempo, making his presence felt defensively, and makes quality decisions with the ball in his hands. He should have no issue finding success at Iona.
6’9 ’21 Chase McKey (TSF)
The TSF squad is brimming with talent, and McKey has clearly progressed as much as anyone on the roster over the last six to eight months. While he showed definitely flashes of intrigue last summer, McKey has taken a clear step forward as a two-way forward prospect. He’s long, fluid, and quite skilled for his size/position, which naturally seems to make him a matchup problem for a wide variety of opponents. McKey handled the ball in transition, made smart passes, made a strong impact defensively, and genuinely shined within a low-maintenance role on both ends of the floor. His development should be noted by a wide variety of Division I coaches.
6’2 ’21 Amir Spears (Mount Zion)
Although the Mount Zion squad fell short, Spears was undeniably impressive as the clear catalyst of this squad. He’s smart, tough, and heady with an excellent balance between playmaking and three-level scoring. Spears penetrates very well and is capable of finishing or making the correct read. He shoots the ball at an efficient clip, especially from beyond the arc, and possesses the necessary quickness on his release to hit shots with only a glimmer of daylight. Spears is an obvious next-level player and should be an asset wherever he should end up.
6’3 ’21 Lovell Smith (Winston-Salem Christian)
It would be difficult to ignore the nonstop leadership and contributions from Smith as a dominant all-around offensive force. Not only was his production steady and consistent, but Smith was able to apply phenomenal pressure from all three levels. He rebounded the ball very well and capitalized on numerous second-chance opportunities while dictating the offense with relative ease. Smith also forced turnovers defensively and pushed transition play whenever possible. Scholarship-level coaches should be in pursuit.
6’0 ’21 Kenede Martin (Winston-Salem Christian)
Though slightly undersized, the scrappy guard prospect offered a terrific two-way presence for this group. Martin defends the point of attack very well, which allows him to force turnovers and push transition play at a solid rate. He also moved effectively without the ball and knocked down multiple big three-pointers when needed.
6’7 ’21 Maclean Hoekwater (Middle Georgia Prep)
Although the Middle Georgia Prep squad was fairly balanced, Hoekwater stood out as one of their most reliable contributors. The long, sturdy stretch-forward showed the ability to operate inside the paint or space the floor and knock down shots within the flow of the action. He’s an excellent spot-up threat with a high motor and useful rebounding instincts.
6’4 ’21 Isaiah Grant (Believe Prep)
Despite a very balanced effort from Believe Prep, Grant was arguably the top performer from this contest. He stood out as a reliable offensive catalyst, able to spot-up, create for himself, or fill in the gaps as a cutter and rebounder. Grant is a quality defender and displays a nice feel for the game on either side of the ball.
6’8 ’21 Aaron Johnson (Believe Prep)
The big, strong-bodied post prospect had numerous flashes throughout this contest, especially as an interior piece for this group. Johnson is a strong, sturdy, physical post prospect with athleticism and toughness. He fights for rebounds and does a solid job of utilizing his body to alter shots defensively.
6’5 ’21 Stephen Thomas (TLAP)
Though slightly undersized for his position, Thomas proved to be an absolute monster on the glass and inside the paint. He’s a strong, physical, high-motor forward with excellent explosiveness and the ability to secure multiple rebounds within the same possession. Thomas runs the floor well, shows a willingness to do the dirty work, and is capable of anchoring the paint or defending in space. He brings so much toughness and nonstop rebounding to a team.
5’10 ’21 Matthew Smith (TLAP)
Although TLAP showcased a pretty balanced offensive attack, Smith was easily among their top performers in this contest. He handled the ball as needed, showing creation skills and useful craftiness, but arguably made the most of his impact as a three-point marksman. Smith moves well without the ball, positions himself for success, and does a great job of capitalizing on open looks. He’s also a capable penetrator and passer.
6’5 ’21 Tyrek Morris Jr. (Believe Prep)
It should be fairly easy to see the appeal with an active, physical specimen like Morris, who stood out regularly on both ends of the floor. He offered some versatility defensively while applying a ton of pressure from inside the paint. Morris finished majority of his attempts inside the paint, rebounded the ball at a strong rate, and has the necessary skill to push the break in transition as needed.
