Team 17
Coach: Chris Ewell
#2: 5’7 ’28 JT Brodowski (River Bluff)
Starting off, we look at a player who made a nice impact despite being the smallest camper on this team, JT Brodowski. He’s a scrappy, unselfish guard prospect who is comfortable with or without the ball in his hands. Brodowski is a reliable perimeter shooter, both from midrange and beyond the arc, and gets to his spots well in transition. He moves well as a spot-up threat to find seams within the defense and makes the extra pass as needed. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a better finisher around the basket. Coach Ewell on Brodowski: “JT is a smaller guard with a confidence and ability to create for others. Can penetrate gaps at times and score with floaters or get all the way to the rim. Has moments where he gets crafty around size to finish. His main calling card is his outside shooting. He is best spotting up, but in transition knocks them down in rhythm.” Brodowski enjoyed a quality showing at camp and has the tools to emerge as a useful piece for River Bluff over the coming years.
#4: 5’8 ’28 Zaylen Washington (Thornwell Charter)
Next, we look at a player who made his presence felt through his ability to fill in the gaps, Zaylen Washington. He’s a tough, athletic guard prospect who can initiate the offense, apply scoring pressure, and create for himself and others as needed. Washington does a great job of touching the paint and making smart reads with the ball in his hands. He also makes a quality impact as a defender at the point of attack. Next in his development process is working on his ability to move without the ball, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Ewell on Washington: “Zaylen is a solid athlete on both ends of the floor. Can impact the game in a variety of ways. Does nothing great but pretty good at everything, which is valuable. Better when getting downhill. Good rebounder and transition starter. Had moments when he took pride on defense and got some timely on-ball defensively stops.” Washington made a solid impact during camp and should be a difference-maker at Thornwood Charter going forward.
#11: 5’9 ’28 Austin Kennedy (Legion Collegiate)
Moving forward, we look at a player who does a terrific job of producing within the flow of the team structure, Austin Kennedy. He’s a scrappy, unselfish guard prospect with a solid motor and willingness to do the dirty work. Kennedy displayed the ability to finish, knock down shots, and defer to teammates as a passer. He also provided an active defensive presence and got 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 reliable creator. Coach Ewell on Kennedy: “Austin is a solid role player. When he kept it simple, he looked okay on offense. He has solid size to keep defenders off when driving. Made a couple good reads when he drew the help defense. Made some easy plays in transition and hit open shots when they were presented.” Kennedy found success during his time at camp and will be a prospect to watch emerge for Legion Collegiate over the coming years.
#17: 5’10 ’28 Sidney Haney (Ridge View)
Continuing forward, we look at a player who found ways to make an impact without requiring touches, Sidney Haney. He’s a smart, steady guard prospect who naturally does a little bit of everything on the court. Haney handles the ball with poise, applies pressure as a penetrator, and makes smart decisions off the bounce. He’s a reliable defender with quickness and the necessary instincts to force turnovers at a solid rate. Next in his development process is working on his consistency as a three-point shooter, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Ewell on Haney: “Sidney did a lot without needing the ball. He is a skilled, crafty guard who doesn’t need a lot of possessions to produce. He turns defense into offense, excels in the open floor, and has a feel and touch for the game that allows him to ball in the basket in a variety of ways.” Haney did a lot of things well throughout camp and should be able to carve out a meaningful role at Ridge View over these next few seasons.
#51: 5’11 ’28 Hassan Lake (Westwood)
Next, we look at a player who consistently found ways to impact the game on both ends of the floor, Hassan Lake. He’s a smart, unselfish guard prospect with a high motor and well-rounded skillset. Lake scored within the flow of the offense while making the extra pass, hustling for loose balls, and moving without the ball. He’s a quality defender whose energy, toughness, and communication allow him to be an asset on that end of the floor. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a better creator. Coach Ewell on Lake: “Hassan is a guard with good IQ, length, and athleticism. Made the right decisions, played hard, and contributed to the team’s success any way he could. Can get you defensive stops and play help side defense. He can move without the ball to find easy looks near the basket, and be a vocal leader on both sides of the ball.” Lake enjoyed a strong showing at camp and should emerge a difference-maker for Westwood sooner than later.
#61: 6’0 ’28 Aidan Walls (Horse Creek)
Moving forward, we look at a player who found success through his ability to fill in the gaps on both ends of the floor, Aidan Walls. He’s a steady, fairly well-rounded guard prospect who plays hard and within the team structure. Walls knows how to assert himself as needed but also looks to set up others whenever possible. He’s a scrappy defender who contained his assignment well and displayed a willingness to make hustle plays. Next in his development process is working on becoming a craftier ball-handler, as it would make him a more lethal threat with the ball in his hands. Coach Ewell on Walls: “Aidan is another solid role guy who didn’t do anything crazy but provided production when opportunities were presented. He is willing to make the next pass, dive on the floor, and move without the ball to keep good spacing and flow of the offense. Made some open looks from outside but his effort, defense, and playmaking stood out more.” Walls provided a solid presence during camp and has the tools to become a key piece for Horse Creek over the foreseeable future.
#73: 6’1 ’28 Marshall Bears (St. Joseph’s)
Continuing forward, we look at a player who highlighted a lot of intriguing flashes during camp, Marshall Bears. He’s a smart, versatile wing prospect with the ability to operate in a variety of different roles. Bears excelled at penetrating and getting downhill in transition, but also displayed solid feel as a passer and capabilities as a ball-handler. He possesses useful instincts defensively. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a more reliable creator. Coach Ewell on Bears: “Marshall has a good frame to guard multiple positions and play on different areas of the floor. Still has to work on lateral quickness but has the tools. Really good getting downhill in transition when he has a full head of steam and regularly gets looks at the basket. His ability to get to the basket took pressure off the ball-handler. Can overdribble at times or force a bad shot but primarily knows how to play his role.” Bears did various things well at camp and should be a quality contributor for St. Joseph’s over the coming years.
#83: 6’2 ’28 Isaiah Addison (Wilson)
Next, we look at a player who did a lot of things well on both ends of the floor, Isaiah Addison. He’s a smart, steady wing prospect who understands how to impact the game with or without the ball in his hands. Addison moves well as a cutter to move the defense, but can also create off the bounce, finish at the basket, or knock down shots along the perimeter. Addison defends with great energy, makes hustle plays, and rebounds well for his size/position. He provided a consistent presence in transition and on either side of the ball. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a better creator. Coach Ewell on Addison: “Isaiah plays well off the ball and off of others. Runs the floor and follows missed shots coming off the glass. Showed some skill with his in-between game when the defense did not step up. Can guard up and down the floor and has good length and instincts defensively.” Addison made a solid impact during camp and should be able to emerge as a useful piece at Wilson sooner than later.
#156: 6’5 ’28 Bryson Schofield (White Knoll)
Moving forward, we look at a player who was easily one of the most physically imposing campers on display, Bryson Schofield. He’s a strong, big-bodied post prospect with a massive frame and overwhelming presence inside the paint. Schofield possesses an excellent blend of touch, footwork, and overall ability with his back to the basket. He carves out space extremely well as a rebounder and secures seemingly everything that touches his hands. Schofield passes well for his size, alters shots defensively, and runs the floor hard in transition. Next in his development process is working on getting quicker, as it would make him a better defender in space. Coach Ewell on Schofield: “Bryson was one of the more physically imposing forwards at camp. Displayed a good touch from 15 feet and in. Rebounds well, has a solid handle to push in transition, and will become a good facilitator outside the block as he continues to work on his playmaking. He has a good base of skill from all three levels and can move well on both ends to make an impact. Had some good effort protecting the rim as well.” Schofield stood out as a top performer during camp and should be a difference-maker at White Knoll over the coming years.
#159: 6’6 ’28 Rodrick Davis Jr. (Ridge View)
Finishing up, we look at a player who visibly stood out as one of the most enticing prospects in attendance, Rodrick Davis Jr. He’s a skilled, explosive forward prospect with the tools to consistently overwhelm opponents around the basket on both ends of the floor. Davis is a walking mismatch who uses his size against smaller opponents and his perimeter ability to cause problems for opposing bigs. He also consistently rebounds and wreaks havoc as a defensive anchor. Next in his development process is working on getting stronger, as it would make him even more difficult for opponents to contain. Coach Ewell on Davis: “Rodrick has one of the highest ceilings of freshmen at the camp. Good potential size with really good athleticism to make up for some of his mistakes. Impossible to stop when he gets two feet in the paint with his length and athleticism. He makes the extra pass at times when he draws another defender and is vocal on both ends every game. His next step is to keep adding more to his perimeter game and slowing down at times.” Davis was dominant throughout camp, securing the MVP Award, and has the tools to be a special player with continued progression.
