SCOUTING REPORT


1. Jaylen McDaniel, 6’5” PF/Center KC Pray & Play (MO) Div. I – (2021) The best prospect that we saw this week…Currently he is a long, wiry, four man that has the skills and upside to possibly move out to become a SF (wing player). He knows how to use his length well on both ends of the floor to his advantage…Seems to always play on balance when he shoots and defends which jeeps him from getting unnecessary fouls at this age. His offensive package right now contains a mice game from 17 feet in and he seems to be comfortable facing up and playing with his back to the basket. He did a really good job of moving his feet vertically and laterally which caused him to score with a smooth movement on offense….Agile player with huge wingspan. He also displayed a nice soft jump shot from 15 feet and in.

2. Jacory Wallace, 6’4’, Center, The Family (MI.) Div. I – (2021) A physical big body youngster, that gets great low-post position and has an array of low post moves with both hands to score in the paint. Really like his touch and the comfort in which he plays with such massive size. Has really good timing and is pretty light on his feet…Averaged about 3 blocks a game using his length, timing, and agility. Has the ability to grab a rebound and push it up the floor and start the break…Scores with ease over either shoulder.

3. Justin Johnson, 5’11” Guard, Atlanta Celtics Elite (GA) Div. I – (2021) A strong, physical, big body, that loves to put his head down and attack the chest of his defenders. He has a very strong, physical body, which he knows how to use in traffic to avoid fouls. Good straight-line attacker to the basket. Once he gets his shoulder past his defender, he is scoring at the basket because of his power and ability to finish at the rim with contact…Possesses a really good feel and understanding of the game as well. He took advantage of opportunities to post smaller players in the paint where he had a lot more strength and physical abilities. He also possesses a really deceptive first step off the dribble and a baseline spin move.

4. Travis Burrus, 5’8, 1/2G Atlanta Celtics (GA) Elite Div. I – (2021) Poise lefty guard; plays with a lot of composure in each game. Kidd plays with a nice pace and tempo as well as a nasty edge when his team needs him to lead. The lefty will probably be more of a traditional PG on the next level, which should be an easy transition for him. Really crafty with the basketball…Knows how to get into the lane and create for himself or others. It was hard for most guards to stay in front of him this week...Used his body and strength to help keep opponents off balanced.

5. Avery Brown, 5’10” Combo Guard, NY Gauchos (NY) Div. I – (2021) A smart basketball player that has a really advance feel and understanding of the game for his age...Pass the ball very well and knows how to get others involved in the game even when he is no scoring. He is a kid that most would love to play with. He played this week looking to be the ultimate teammate. He looked to get others going and then he would display his strong scoring abilities off the dribble and also possesses a nice 2-dribble midrange pull up.

6. Jake Tavroff, 6’4” Center, NY Gauchos (NY) Div. I – (2021) Really good big man that knows how to play the game from the low post position…One of the better back to the basket players in the entire event…Did a really great job of getting low post position every time down court.

7. Tyson Davis, 5’9”, Combo Guard, The Family (MI) Div. I – (2021) Super quick, high-octane guard who is always playing in high gear but under control…Tyson used his body very well along with his dribble to get past and around defenders for tough finishes around the rim. Has a good feel for the game and knows how to change speeds to keep defenders off balance when attacking the basket.

8. Eric Williams, 6’6” F, New Orleans Elite (LA.) Div. I – (2021) Runs the floor very well and is a very active And agile forward. Kid has the potential to really be a big time basketball player if he locks in and continues to put in the work. Saw flashes all week of his potential to be one of the elite of the class. He can score with ease from 10 to 12 feet from the basket with his basket to the basket or facing up and attacking off the dribble.

Deadly long ball shooter that knocks down 22 foot jumpers like lay ups. Has a good feel and understanding of the game. Ben did a really good job of moving without the ball and creating good offensive balance and spacing which gave his team the advantage to use their strong shooting skillsets and attacking off the dribble.

15. Chase Cormier, 5’7, 1/2G, Atlanta Celtics Elite (GA) Div. I – (2022) Really enjoys watching this young player play the game. He is actually a r playing up again this year. You would never know because of his above average ball handling, basketball IQ, and skill set. He shares the backcourt with one of the best PG’s in the age group so he often is off the ball. He displayed a really good knack for getting into the lane and attacking gaps for creating open shots for teammates. He also displayed that he cannot be left along on the perimeter. He has one of the purest jump shots we saw this week. Chase showed he could knocked down the long ball with consistency.

16. Chris Evans, 6’0”, G/F, Philly Tripe Threat (PA) Div. I – (2021) This kid was a monster on both ends of the floor. He gets the “Mr. Hustle” award night in and night out.

Handled the ball ok from 15 feet out and was always looking to put his head down and get to the rim or the foul line.

17. Sterling Jones, 4’11, PG, NY Rens (NY) Div. I – (2021) A scrappy, crafty NY style PG that puts a lot of pressure on defenders with his slick ball handling. Did a good job of scoring and passing in transition and can also finish at the rim with either hand. He showed good range on open, spot up jumpers but was more comfortable pulling up for jump shots off the dribble within the 10-17 foot range. Sterling was arguably one of the best on ball defender at the entire event. He was a total pest to opposing guards whenever they tried to put the ball on the floor around him.

18. Cameron McDowell, 6’3” F/C, Atlanta Celtics Elite (GA) Div. I – (2021) A tweener right now…raw talent that is going to be one to keep your eyes on in the upcoming years.

He showed that he could attack off the dribble and get to the rim where he is trying to finish above the rim.

19. Jaden Davis, 6’0” Guard, Team Teague Murray (IN) Div. I – (2021) Uses both hands to finish, smooth with the ball, tough on the ball defender who uses his long arms to cut off passing lanes, 3-point range.
