Team 7

Coach: Kenneth Hunter

#13: 6’2 ’26 Terence Guess (Ambassador Christian)

Starting off, we look at a player who consistently found ways to impact all facets of the game, Terence Guess. He’s a smart, unselfish guard prospect with a quality blend of motor, scoring polish, and defensive ability. Guess hit shots at a high percentage, set up others, and secured rebounds at a strong rate. He also moved well without the ball and provided a low-maintenance presence on both ends of the floor. Next in his development process is working to get stronger, as it would make him a more imposing player. Coach Hunter on Guess: “Terence is a great kid with a great work ethic. Long and rangy defender. Disrupts passing lanes with his length. He’s a nice-sized combo guard that can play point guard in certain situations. Has a decent shooting touch 15 feet and out. Doesn’t have many flaws to his game. If he gets quicker and faster, he can be a real problem. Additionally, if he can maintain longer stretches of playing with intensity then he can be a player at the next level. Needs to learn how to play with pace. Asset to any team.” Guess made a strong impression during camp and will be a meaningful piece for Ambassador Christian going forward.

#20: 5’11 ’26 DaMyyo Watts (Laurens)

Next, we look at a player who really impressed through his knockdown shooting prowess, DaMyyo Watts. He’s a smart, high-motor guard prospect who knows how to play to his strengths on both ends of the floor. Watts is a capable penetrator and finisher, but is clearly at his best when getting to his spots and applying pressure as a shooting threat. He’s a quality defender who reliably contains his assignment in all areas. Next in his development process is working to become a craftier ball-handler, as it would allow him to run the team more seamlessly. Coach Hunter on Watts: “DaMyyo is small for a shooting guard but he can really shoot the ball. Possesses deep three-point range and does not miss open shots. Can be a pest on defense but needs to learn how to sustain intensity for a longer duration. If he can improve his ball-handling and play with more pace, he may be able to carve out a role at the next level. Very good at what he does. If he continues to improve, he will be a real problem for opposing teams.” Watts excelled in his role during camp and should be a key piece for Laurens over these next two seasons.

#22: 6’3 ’26 Maddox Coleman (Legion Collegiate)

Moving forward, we look at a player who provided a steady, reliable presence on both ends of the floor, Maddox Coleman. He’s a smart, scrappy guard prospect with a high motor and unselfish approach to the game. Coleman shoots the ball at a high level, both from midrange and beyond the arc, and moves well to find open seams within the defense. He’s a solid rebounder and quality defender whose quickness and anticipation allow him to effectively contain his assignment. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Hunter on Coleman: “Maddox is a crafty shooter and pesky defender. Can be a problem because of his ability to shoot. Has nice size and range. Disrupts passing lanes and his length can cause problems for most smaller guards. Needs to improve his handle and decision-making to play at the next level but has all the tools. Great teammate and fun to coach. Did I mention he can shoot!” Coleman did a lot of things well during camp and should be a difference-maker for Legion Collegiate going forward.

#36: 6’2 ’26 Jon Perry (Christ Church)

Continuing forward, we look at a player who offered a versatile, well-rounded identity, Jon Perry. He’s a rugged, skilled guard prospect with a nonstop motor and the ability to cause constant problems for opponents. Perry scores the ball at an efficient rate from all levels but offers unselfishness and a sharp playmaking sense. He looks to set up others whenever possible but knows how to take advantage of scoring chances. Perry is also an excellent defender who forces turnovers at a strong rate. Next in his development process is working to become a craftier ball-handler, as it would make him even more difficult for opponents to contain. Coach Hunter on Perry: “Jon is a solid combo guard who defends well on the perimeter and can play both guard positions. If he tightens his handles, he could play more as a point guard. Very selective with his shots. Can defend 1-3 and some smaller post players. Strong for his size. Becoming more vocal and playing with more intensity can take his game to another level. Great kid, easy to coach.” Perry proved to be a real asset during camp and should be a focal point for Christ Church over these next few seasons.  

#39: 6’2 ’26 Jordan Aremu (First Baptist)

Next, we look at a player who found consistent production as a steady, low-maintenance piece, Jordan Aremu. He’s a scrappy, unselfish guard prospect who provides lethal perimeter shooting, reliable defensive prowess, and a high motor. Aremu scores from all levels but is arguably at his best in spot-up situations. He makes the extra pass and moves well without the ball. Aremu is a terrific defender who provides a strong blend of quickness, toughness, and instincts. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Hunter on Aremu: “This kid can play! Jordan can shoot and defend at a high level. Plays well with others. Can get lost without the ball in his hands. Once he learns how to move better without the ball, he will be even more efficient. Did not miss many shots. Very intense on defense. Combo guard who is an asset on any team looking for shooting and intense defense.” Aremu stood out as a difference-maker during camp and should be a major contributor at First Baptist going forward.

#54: 6’3 ’26 Jacob Sinta (Legion Collegiate)

Moving forward, we look at a player who really impressed with his intangibles and all-around ability, Jacob Sinta. He’s a smart, highly unselfish wing prospect with a terrific combination of size, motor, and perimeter shooting. Sinta knocks down shots at a high percentage, moves extremely well without the ball, and is capable of filling in the gaps offensively. He provides a rugged, high-motor defensive presence and makes hustle plays at a high volume. Next in his development process is working to become a craftier ball-handler, as it would make him a more reliable creator. Coach Hunter on Sinta: “Jacob is the type of player every team needs and the type of player that coaches love. Communicates on and off the floor. Isn’t afraid to dive on the floor or take charges. Can shoot it from midrange and knocks it down from deep at a high clip. Jacob is a vocal leader who is always willing to do the dirty work. Excellent catch-and-shoot ability from anywhere on the floor. An absolute must-have for any coach!” Sinta made a lasting impression with his play and should be a major asset for Legion Collegiate over these next two seasons.

#60: 6’4 ’26 Lance Barnes (Legacy Early College)

Continuing forward, we look at a player who easily stood out as one of the top performers on display, Lance Barnes. He’s a strong, skilled guard prospect with a high IQ and versatile game on both ends of the floor. Barnes scores the ball with ease from all levels but does a phenomenal job of creating for others and leading by example. He utilizes his body well on drives and to overwhelm opponents defensively. Barnes rebounds at a strong rate and properly pushes the break in transition. Next in his development process is working on refining his shooting mechanics, as it would make him an even more accurate perimeter shooter. Coach Hutner on Barnes: “Lance is a big combo guard. Can play and defend multiple positions (1-4). Very savvy with the ball in his hands. Makes the right read just about every time. Needs to work on his shooting touch but can fill it up quickly. A stat sheet stuffer who does not require the ball in his hands to be effective Will play at the next level for sure. Ceiling is still high. Plays with pace and a high motor!” Barnes found ways to dominate during camp and will be one of the top players in South Carolina over these next two seasons.

#61: 6’4 ’25 Shawn Garrett-Thompson (Legion Collegiate)

Next, we look at a player who made a lasting impression with his motor and physicality, Shawn Garrett-Thompson. He’s a long, athletic forward prospect who simply knows how to outwork opponents on both ends of the floor. Garrett-Thompson finds success as a finisher, floor-spacer, and versatile defender. He rebounds the ball well for his size/position and is capable of pushing the break as needed. Garrett-Thompson can fill in the gaps or expand his production based on team needs. Next in his development process is working to get quicker, as it would make him a better defender when switching onto smaller guards. Coach Hunter on Garrett-Thompson: “Shawn is a hard-nosed guy who plays hard. Undersized for a post but can stretch the floor with his perimeter shooting. Very capable catch-and-shoot type of guy. Attacks the basket and normally makes the right play. Although he has a wiry frame, he gets the job done and is always around the loose balls. Great attitude and very coachable.” Garrett-Thompson proved to be a difference-maker at camp and should be poised for a highly productive senior season with Legion Collegiate.

#66: 6’5 ’26 Jamere Singleton (Dreher)

Moving forward, we look at a player who stood out through his versatility and constant energy, Jamere Singleton. He’s a strong, skilled wing prospect who can defend multiple positions and do a variety of different things offensively. Singleton finished, hit jumpers, and displayed a willingness to make the extra pass whenever possible. He’s also an impactful defender and useful rebounder on both ends of the floor. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a better ball-handler. Coach Hunter on Singleton: “Plays hard without the ball. Plays even harder with the ball. Jamere is very strong around the basket. He’s a big guard with a nice shooting touch from deep and inside the paint. Doesn’t shy away from the midrange and can get by most defenders without a bunch of moves. Defensively, he can guard multiple positions (2-4). Will only get better moving forward. High ceiling.” Singleton highlighted a lot of appeal during his time at camp and will be a prospect to monitor over these next few seasons at Dreher.

#80: 6’10 ’26 Mark Caslaru (Catawba Ridge)

Finishing up, we look at a player who naturally causes matchup problems with his blend of size and shooting, Mark Caslaru. He’s a smart, skilled big man who knows how to space the floor and reliably anchor the paint on both ends of the floor. Caslaru finishes, operates out of the post, and passes well for his size. He displays shot-blocking ability and great instincts as a rebounder. Caslaru also moves well without the ball and runs the floor properly in transition. Next in his development process is working to get quicker, as it would make him a better defender when switching onto smaller guards. Coach Hunter on Caslaru: “Big fella with the ability to stretch the defense with his shooting touch. Mark hit contested and uncontested shots all camp. His shooting ability will pull bigs out of the paint leaving driving lanes for his teammates. Needs to develop his footwork even more to improve his movement. Defensively, he is long and rangy. Disrupts shooters and passing lanes with his length and ability. High ceiling. Needs to improve motor and flexibility.” Caslaru showcased a lot of tools and long-term intrigue throughout camp and will be a guy to watch closely going forward.
