Each year, Phenom Hoops is fortunate enough to see thousands upon thousands of prospects come through our doors and attend our events. In the last five years alone, there have been countless examples of players showing up at our camps or travel ball events with little to no reputation and eventually blowing up. This isn't meant to imply that Phenom Hoops is responsible in any way for these players' uptick in actual ability, but rather to acknowledge how commonly these viewings occur. It doesn't necessarily mean every kid who is under the radar should be expected to blow up and become the next notable prospect, but Joshua Hill of Juice All-Stars certainly has a chance to attract high-level coaches with continued development.
The appeal should be somewhat self-explanatory for a young, rapidly progressing post prospect with legitimate size and clear two-way upside. Hill displays solid touch, but often finds scoring opportunities through utilization of his length around the basket. He shows flashes of handling the ball, but primarily makes an impact through effort as a rebounder and rim-protector. Physically, Hill is just beginning to mature and properly add weight to his slender frame. He runs the floor hard and fluidly for a young prospect of his size. Overall, it's still extremely early to try and place a ton of solidified opinions on the big man. Should Hill continue to add strength and develop his on-court identity with Coach Black, he's going to be a quality player in time.
