Jamie Shaw had some names that caught his eye at the Champion Showcase.
6'4' 2020 Sean Sims
Boo Williams NC 15s / Word of God
Same kid, but what has changed is his confidence. Sims is playing at an incredibly high level right now. His game is reminiscent of Coby White in the way he is constantly playing in attack mode with a 3-level scoring arsenal. Look for Sims to track among the top 2020 prospects in North Carolina's deep class, he is quickly turning himself into quite the player.
6'5' 2018 Justin Tucker
Durham Hurricanes / East Chapel Hill HS
In his final game of the day Tucker went off for 31 points. He was an incredibly skilled 31 as well, as he got it at all 3 levels. Tucker is a new name to add to the list as he was 5'10' last year. Now standing 6'5', his recruitment will be very interesting come July.
6'3' 2018 Jaylen Alston
Carolina Wolves NC / Eastern Guilford'
So tough. Alston just goes out on the floor and produces in every category. He does it with toughness, explosion and a high basketball IQ. Alston is a virtual lock for a double-double each time out and when you add in the 4 assists and 4 steals each game, you get a winner. Offers should start to flow in July, he is the type that once the first one happens and avalanche should follow.
6'3' 2019 Quentin Thomas
Charlotte Nets 16s / Harding University (NC)
Tough. Without a question Quentin Thomas game is predicated on his toughness. He has great length and is an explosive downhill athlete. Thomas talks the entire game and defends multiple positions. His team wins most games they play in and he is a central figure in those wins'The way he plays is infectious.
