Here are some names that impressed Phenom Hoops analyst Jason Porter
Team 3
Game one gave us a look at 2019 6'7 F Jake Van Der Heijden (Ravenscroft). Young big shows skill, touch, and potential in his game.
Jamarius Hairston, 6'4 2018 G at Jesse Carson HS – Kid is wired to score. Very active player turned defense, hustle, and effort into production.
Reid Bowen, 6'4 2018 G at Rolesville HS – Long wing player can shoot the outside shot or get into the lane and score. Solid all around game.
Jayden Beloti, 6'2 2020 G at Apex Friendship HS – Young skinny wing can play. Athletic kid looks great in transition. Will be interesting to see if the athlete develops into player.
Team 4
Timothy Boulware, a 6'4 2018 G at Dudley HS – looks the part of player for his team. Athletic body, long arms, and easy game stood out in game one.
DeVante Johnson, 5'10 2020 G at Lugoff Elgin HS – Shooter showed range and touch on his shot in this one. Quick release makes him one to mark when on the floor.
Matthew Garay, 6'7 2017 F at Beufort HS – Big boy got it done scoring wise inside using weight and strength to power his way inside. Also showed range by stepping into one from 3. D3 coaches would love him.
Hayden Cassell, 6'2 2018 F at Dobbins Bennett HS (TN) – Undersized forward plays with grit. Gave up size all game long and still was leading rebounder in game. Hard hat kid.
AJ Jones, 5'6 2020 G at Phillip O. Berry HS – One of smallest players here in this event showed hs game was big enough. Hit several from deep in game one on his way to double digit points.
Team 9
Desmond Walls, 6'3 2017 G at York Prep (SC) – Super athlete has more bounce to the once than your average player. Uses his speed and athletic ability to great effect out on the floor.
Corey Hudgins, 5'7 2018 G at Wheatmore HS –Short shooter always seemed to be around the action. Got after it on D, made the right pass at the right time, and showed he understands the game and what he can do in it.
Jake Ledbetter, 6'1 2020 W at Ledford HS – Work hard type kid that knows how to play the game. Still young his effort and willingness to mix it up will serve him well. Nice shot on him as well.
Team 10
Deante Petree, 6'4 2018 F at North Forsyth HS – Strong young big played big in game 2. Good motor plays well with sneaky skill set. Showed up big on the glass in this one as well.
Isaac Sinclair, 5'11 2020 G at Chapel Hill HS – Nice looking young guard sees the floor like a senior. Touch of flair to his game makes him fun to watch.
Jaylen Finch 6'1 2018 G at Broughton HS – Easy shooter has silky touch on jumper. More than just a shooter though as can score any way you like on the floor. Threw out several dimes n this one as well for good measure.
Deandre Rushie, 6'1 2017 G at Southeast HS – Game does not jump out at you at first but the longer you watch him work the more you appreciate all he brings to the floor. Scoring, defense, and rebounding ability all on display.
