2024 Caleb Hartsell (704 Soldierz): Hartsell was another that continue dot make big paly and big shots throughout the game. Had a pure shooting stroke from outside, stepping out behind the arc and consistently hitting shots and making plays. He played with a tough motor, got to his spots well, and spread out the defense with his shot-making.
2023 Bryson Davis (Team United): Davis had a strong high school and has only carried that into this summer. Really expect him to continue to be a force and a leader during the travel ball and this upcoming season. Davis though continues to be strong and be assertive in getting downhill to score, finishing strong but also finding open spots in the defense to knock down shots. Love his leadership and mentality on the court, as he made strong play after strong play.
2024 Colby White (Team Loaded 804 NNK): White is a name that I would start taking a look at more, as the 6'4 combo guard really showcased his ability to penetrate and create for himself while scoring a variety of ways. He did a great job in creating space and getting around defenders off the dribble, but also relocating and finding his spots to hit big shots behind the arc.
2024 Clyde Mauldin (TMP): Watching his game, there were several key moments in the game that stood out for Mauldin. The 6'5 prospect used his long arms and athleticism to attack the boards and create second-chance opportunities, but he was also effective in putting it on the deck and getting to the basket or popping out from the perimeter. Intriguing player to watch and loved his motor.
2023 Tyrone Hardy (Mint Hill Lakers): It was good to see the young man in action and he played well, as Hardy not only showed more of his scoring capability but also his playmaking ability on the court. Whether it was his shot selection, his ability to score from multiple levels, or was it him facilitating, Hardy had a tremendous impact on the floor for his team.
2024 Roosevelt Walker (Georgia Havoc): Walker was a new name personally for me but grabbed my attention quickly, especially with his dribble pull-up, his mid-range game, and the athleticism that he used on both sides of the ball. Very confident in his ability to make shots from an array of areas on the floor, but also made some strong defensive plays.
2024 Kamren Martin (Inspire): Martin had a great game to end the day on Day 1 at the Summer Havoc. Great sized guard that made plays off the dribble, was able to get downhill, be the primary ballhandler for his team, and really made terrific passes to set up his teammates well. He applied pressure on the defense, especially in transition and getting to the line.
2024 Cooper Jackson (Team Bond): What is there not to like about Jackson's game. What you know you will get from this young man is he is going to compete. But diving more into his game, he is strong on the boards, finds ways to score around his defenders, and has an excellent skillset down in the post along with a physical presence.
