Here is Part II of our report profiling the Event's Top Performers:

Travis Thompson

Travis Thompson (6’ 5, Wing/Forward, Carver; 2015)

Athletic and energetic wing who plays with a great motor; he is a player who can contribute to his team in a variety of ways on both  ends  of the floor. Whether running the break and finishing in traffic, crashing the boards for rebounds, or deflecting passes on the defensive end….versatile is the best way to describe his game.   

Dominique Smith

Dominique Smith (6’ 1, PG, Henry Clay, KY; Post Grad)

Floor general who impressed with playmaking ability throughout the day. On offensive, he was a catalyst for his team, knocking down jumpers, scoring at rim, and delivering pin-point assists to teammates for easy buckets. Has excellent speed and quickness.  Played strong on-ball defense, harassing opposing ball handlers into turnovers. Is the type of on-court leader you like to see in a point guard.         

Larry Williams

Larry Williams (6’ 3, Wing, Woodland; 2015)

Athletic and explosive leaper; he excels in transition and plays above the rim. Had a stretch during one camp game where he soared for a dunk in transition, hustled back on defense to force turnover, and then ran the floor again to finish with another emphatic dunk. Has versatility to guard on the perimeter or lock down forwards on the inside. 

Kinsey Burgess

Kinsey Burgess (6’ 5, Wing/Forward, South Paulding; 2015)

Emerging forward with good athleticism and potential; plays above the rim and had several impressive dunks during the camp. Is very active on the offensive boards and picked up quite a few put backs and tips. Runs the floor well on fast break. Has improved consistency on mid-range jumper and has good touch in the paint. Is a young senior and will benefit from continued development and experience.    

Deontae McClanahan

Deontae McClanahan (6’ 3; SG, Woodland; 2015)

Athletic guard who is fun to watch. Scored in bunches throughout the day. Is at his best when slashing to the basket; gets to the rim and knows how to finish. Has good body control and balance when attacking paint. Has a solid outside jumper to compliment his driving abilities. Sees the floor well and delivered several nice assists for easy scores. Thrives in the open court and had a couple of crowd pleasing dunks in transition. Two time All-Region selection and one of the top players  in talent rich South Metro Area.

Fundamentally sound and battle tested guard. Has nice pull up jumper; gets good separation from defender and can create space. Knock down three-point shooter.

Terry James III (6’ 5, Wing, Dutchtown; 2015)

Athletic wing who made positive impact for his team in a variety of ways. Runs the lane well on fast break and scores in transition. Good scorer around the rim. Versatile defender  who showed willingness to box out, provide strong help defense, and rebound the basketball.   

Joshua Brooks

Joshua Brooks (6’ 1, PG, Tri-Cities; 2015)

Joshua unfortunately turned his ankle during the morning part of camp, so he was limited to just the morning skill stations and first camp game.  Still Joshua demonstrated enough skill and potential to be counted among the top lead guards in the camp. A two-time All-Region selection, he has a nice combination of athleticism, skill, and basketball IQ. He plays with good poise and is equally proficient at scoring and distributing. Knockdown three point shooter. Has all the tools to be an excellent lead guard at the next level.    

Jackson Lenyear (6’ 0, PG, Berkmar; 2015)

Quick sparkplug guard who can score and distribute. Creates scoring opportunities off the dribble for himself and teammates. Has nice mid-range pull up jumper in addition to a quick release spot -up three pointer. Uses quickness to get in paint and then dish to teammates for easy buckets.   Plays with good toughness.     

Sascha Kappos (6’ 9, Forward, Miami Country Day; 2015)

Long and wiry forward with solid footwork and shooting ability. Has three point range and showed  ability to knock down three pointer consistently. Is pretty active around the rim and showed good knack for being around the ball on putbacks and tips. Blocked numerous shots while providing help defense.  Will need to add some weight and continue  to develop upper body strength for the next level,  however, with that said he is a player with significant potential.  Excellent student with 3.5 gpa and 24 ACT score.  

Isaiah Moody (6’ 0, PG, Poinciana, FL; 2015)

Talented guard out of the Orlando area who impressed with dual ability to score and distribute. Has good ball handling skills and excellent athleticism.
