Team 3
Coach: Greg Harmon
#26: 5’8 ’25 Chandler Kennedy (Carmel Christian)
Starting off, we look at a player who stands out through his pesky, high-motor approach to the game, Chandler Kennedy. He’s a tough, scrappy lead guard prospect with the ability to set the tone on both ends of the floor. Kennedy possesses a quick first step, which allows him to break down defenders, touch the paint at a strong volume, and mirror opposing ball-handlers defensively. He’s a very willing passer who makes smart decisions as a creator. Additionally, Kennedy can finish around the basket, knock down jumpers from distance, or assert himself in the midrange. Next in his development process is working to get stronger, as it will make him a better defender against bigger opponents. Coach Harmon on Kennedy: “Chandler is very coachable. Plays with a motor and has excellent court vision. Handles the ball well with both hands. Good on-ball defender and unselfish player who is willing to make the extra pass. Chandler can improve on being a more vocal leader.” Kennedy did a lot of things well at camp, averaging 12.3 PPG, and should be a target for college coaches during his upcoming senior season.
#60: 6’0 ’25 Chandler Little (Carmel Christian)
Next, we look at a player who consistently finds ways to impact a game within the flow of the action, Chandler Little. He’s a steady, fairly well-rounded guard prospect with a terrific motor and strong defensive prowess. Little displayed the ability to finish through contact, make the extra pass, and knock down jumpers when necessary. He rebounds well for his size/position and takes advantage of his opportunities in transition. Little is an unselfish player who is willing to embrace various roles. Next in his development process is working on his shooting consistency from beyond the arc, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Harmon on Little: “Chandler is a very good defender. Always in good help-side defense position. Needs to refine his shot mechanics. He can look to penetrate and attack the basket more often. Plays with great effort on both ends of the floor.” Little enjoyed a quality showing at camp and should be a key piece for Carmel Christian throughout his senior season.
#76: 6’1 ’25 Matthew Dillard (Palisades)
Moving forward, we look at a player who consistently stood out through his effort and physicality, Matthew Dillard. He’s a strong, tough, athletic guard prospect who excels at getting downhill and applying pressure at the rim. Dillard handles the ball well and looks to set up teammates at a solid rate. He moves well without the ball and poses a quality threat in transition. Dillard is an excellent defender with the blend of strength, quickness, and instincts to regularly force turnovers. Next in his development process is working on his consistency as a three-point shooter, as it would make him even more difficult for opponents to contain. Coach Harmon on Dillard: “Matt is very athletic and plays with great effort at all times. His shot mechanics could use some improvement, but he’s a very coachable kid who accepts criticism well. Team player. Doesn’t require the ball in his hands to impact a game. Rebounds very well for his size. Matt is a handful on the defensive end.” Dillard proved to be a difference-maker at camp, tied for tenth in scoring at 13.0 PPG, and will be a prospect to follow throughout his upcoming senior season.
#85: 6’2 ’25 Jayden Ross (Rocky River)
Continuing forward, we look at a player who has earned a reputation among the top shooters in the state, Jayden Ross. He’s a crafty, skilled guard who can initiate the offense or find success without the ball in his hands. Ross is an excellent spot-up threat with supreme confidence and a quick release. He knocks down shots off the dribble and is capable of attacking closeouts, but also looks to set up others whenever possible. Ross makes quality decisions with the ball, especially in transition. He provides great effort on both ends of the floor. Next in his development process is working on his awareness as an off-ball defender, as it would lead to more forced turnovers. Coach Harmon on Ross: “Jayden is very coachable. He plays unselfish and will make the extra pass. Can improve his overall defensive presence. Plays with great effort and possesses nice shot mechanics. Jayden can look to attack the basket more.” Ross was among the top performers on display, averaging 11.3 PPG, and should maintain his status as a focal point for Rocky River this season.
#100: 6’3 ’25 Viktor Alao (Bull City Prep)
Next, we look at a player who possesses an incredibly high level of polish and ability, Viktor Alao. He’s a skilled, well-rounded guard prospect who consistently impacts the game on both ends of the floor. Alao can absolutely fill it up offensively, displaying the necessary blend of craftiness, creation instincts, and three-level scoring prowess to cause constant problems for opponents. He’s a capable playmaker who can initiate the offense as needed. Alao mixes it up well from all levels, but truly forces defenders to respect the threat of his perimeter shooting. He also plays hard and forces turnovers at a quality rate defensively. Next in his development process is working to take advantage of more penetration opportunities, as it would make him even more difficult for opponents to contain. Coach Harmon on Alao: “Viktor is a knockdown shooter. His shooting mechanics are very solid. Can continue to improve his shot selection and attack the basket more often. Capable and willing to make the extra pass. Plays extremely hard on both ends of the floor.” Alao was among the top performers at camp, tied for second in scoring at 18.3 PPG, and should be a target for college coaches over the coming months.
#101: 6’3 ’26 Nicholas Fleming (West Forsyth)
Moving forward, we look at a player who found success through his ability to fill in the gaps on both ends of the floor, Nicholas Fleming. He’s a steady, unselfish wing prospect with a fairly well-rounded skillset. Fleming is a capable shooting threat, finisher, and passer who understands how to naturally fill in the gaps. He’s a solid defender and willing rebounder. Fleming makes hustle plays on a consistent basis. Next in his development process is working on becoming a craftier ball-handler, as it would make him a more reliable creator. Coach Harmon on Fleming: “Nick is a very coachable player who provides great effort. Boxes out well for his size. Very unselfish player. Can look to be more aggressive on offense, as he gets too passive at times. Always looking for teammates. Knocks down jumpers inside the arc very well and is capable of finishing with either hand. Nick can continue to improve strength and quickness.” Fleming enjoyed a quality showing at camp and should be a useful contributor for West Forsyth during his upcoming junior season.
#135: 6’5 ’28 Brayden Ragland (Northside)
Continuing forward, who was undeniably impressive throughout the entirety of camp, Brayden Ragland. He’s a smart, strong, skilled forward/post prospect who possesses advanced ability for his size and age. Despite being the youngest (and only freshman) camper in the varsity division, Ragland found consistent production while impacting the game on both ends of the floor. He utilizes his body very well and displays soft touch around the basket. Ragland finished through contact and highlighted flashes of floor-spacing ability. He passes and handles the ball well for his size/position. Ragland does a quality job of altering shots defensively and maintaining a solid two-way rebounding presence. Next in his development process is working to get quicker, as it would make him a better defender against smaller opponents. Coach Harmon on Ragland: “Brayden plays hard on both ends of the floor. He attacks the basket aggressively. Can improve on post moves but runs the floor well in transition and moves effectively without the ball. Can do a better job of boxing out and establishing rebounding position. Very coachable kid. Continue to improve shot mechanics and release time.” Ragland made a lasting impression at camp, averaging 15.7 PPG and securing the underclassmen MVP, and will be a prospect to monitor closely going forward.
#141: 6’6 ’26 Cody Dickinson (Washington Montessori)
Finishing up, we look at a player who quietly stood out as one of the most productive campers on display, Cody Dickinson. He’s a scrappy, skilled forward/post prospect who made his presence felt in a variety of ways. Dickinson played with terrific effort and consistently battled for extra opportunities on both ends of the floor. He hit midrange jumpers and spaced the floor very well from beyond the arc. Next in his development process is working to add scoring moves with his back to the basket, as it would make him a more polished scoring threat. Coach Harmon on Dickinson: “Cody is capable of finishing around the basket and knocking down the open shot. He needs to learn to use his length to his advantage on defense. Solid rebounder but can work on establishing position. Very coachable with a great attitude. The more he learns the game, the more he will continue to improve. Working on quickness, defense, and back-to-basket moves will allow him to grow.” Dickinson enjoyed a quality showing at camp, tied for tenth in scoring average at 13.0 PPG, and will be a prospect to keep an eye on going over these next two seasons.
