He is a solid three point shooter, passes the ball well for a wing, and brings a lot of intangibles that help his team win. That along with his strong academic resume makes him a player worthy of looks. Preston Crisp (6’ 4, Wing, Woodville Tompkins; 2019) was yet another prospect from Savannah’s Woodville Tompkins High School who had an impressive showing. He has good length and uses his body well to create pull up jumpers. He runs the lane well on the fast break and scored consistently in transition. On defense, his length was an asset and caused problems for smaller guards.
Forwards
Firat Ceylan (6’ 7, Rabun Gap; 2019) is a powerful force in the low post. A native of Turkey, Firat uses superior strength to power thru contact for buckets. He seems to welcome chance to bang inside. Has solid footwork and good hands. One of the top rebounders in camp. An overall nice prospect for coaches to keep close tabs on. Thomas O’Neil (6’ 10, Richmond Hill; 2018) is an intimidating physical presence at 6’ 10 and 250 lbs. At this point in his development, he is farther advanced as a defensive player. He did a good job providing rim protection, contesting/blocking shots, and pulling rebounds. On offensive end, had several solid finishes in the paint and showed good work ethic during skill stations. As he continues to develop, Thomas will make a nice addition for a school at next level. Nicholas Wilson (6’ 6, McKeel Academy, FL; 2018) is a long forward with a versatile skill set. He scored in the paint on variety of crafty post moves as well as beyond the arc, knocking down several three pointers. He has good instincts on defense, where he deflected and blocked a good share of shot attempts. His 3.6 GPA and 1140 SAT make him an intriguing prospect for higher academic schools. Julian Baldwin (6’ 7, Etowah; 2018) is a forward with much upside. He is an impact guy in the paint; but also has the ability to step out on the perimeter and knock down shots. Played with good energy and was active on the boards. Will be key contributor for talented Etowah team. Quamontae Monfort (6’ 6, Clarke Central; 2018) is a solid inside presence and frontcourt prospect. Crashes the boards hard and is active defensively. Is a capable outside shooter. Has potential to average a double-double this coming season in Athens. Dylan Bohling (6’ 7, Forward, 2018) is a hard working prospect who has improved dramatically over the past year. While far from a finished product, he is a long and active player who is getting better weekly. Carrying an A+ average in the classroom, he is a prospect whose best ball is ahead of him. Corey Thomas (6’ 6, Forward, Marietta; 2018) is a sleeper prospect out of Cobb County who caught some attention from coaches. He has good bounce, is a capable finisher above the rim, and is active on the boards. Elijah Goodman (6’ 8, Monroe Area; 2018) is a long forward who shows flashes of play that match his high potential. He was a solid contributor on both ends of the floor and is comfortable playing on the perimeter. He has a good knack for offensive put backs and has defensive versatility. Combined with teammates Devin Sheats and Isaiah Glasper (mentioned above), Monroe Area is a team to watch in Class AAA. Tymon Szymanski (6’ 7, Forward, Rabun Gap; 2021) was one of the youngest players in the event; however that did not stop him from making a very favorable impression on many of the coaches in attendance. Just a freshman, he has great size and feel for the game. He is comfortable on the block and out on the perimeter, where he exhibited a good looking shot. With continued development, Tymon has a great chance to be a heavily sought after prospect at the Division I level.
