Conway, AR (Future150) -- Future150 was on the road for the last time last weekend, visiting Little Rock, Arkansas. There were several prospects who shined throughout the weekend, and they made their mark in the annual Top 40 All-Star Game.
Sadaeys Miller, 2015 SG: The 6-foot-2 guard played with one of the highest motors of anyone we saw all weekend, and it payed off for him. He routinely got the best of his competitors, scoring and finishing at will, rebounding in traffic, and playing tough on-ball defense. Proving that hard work pays off, Miller was one of the most impressive prospects in the gym.
Joe Dye, 2014 SG: One of the toughest competitors of the weekend was the 6-foot-2 shooting guard. He is a terror in a transition game, where he uses his excellent speed to get free for easy baskets. He also is an athletic leaper who snatches down several rebounds each game. A very versatile prospect.
Brandon England, 2015 CG: The smooth lefty can play either guard position, but we like him more as a pass-first point guard. He has solid ball skills and court vision, finding teammates in good situations at all times. He also can make the defense pay with his jump shot, which he can knock down out to the three-point line.
Laquan Davie, 2015 PG: A prospect with a ton of upside is the 6-foot-3 combo guard who hails from Marion High School (AR). He is an extremely bouncy finisher around the rim and loves to attack the defense. His long limbs and solid instincts also make him a valuable defender who gets into passing lanes with ease.
JJ Rainey, 2016 PG: One of the smoothest prospects in the camp was the 6-foot Fayetteville High School (AR) lead guard. He plays with excellent pace on the floor, and knows exactly when to attack a weakness in the defense. He is equal parts scorer and facilitator, and he can knock down jump shots out to 23 feet.
Jaylynn Dye, 2016 PG: The 6-foot point guard has a muscular frame, which he used to his advantage when attacking the basket and finishing at the rim. He has a high basketball IQ and solid full- court and half-court vision as well. Very coachable kid with a great attitude as well.
Jacob Patterson, 2016 PF: A young big man to keep an eye on is the 6-foot-7 power forward. The Cave City High School (AR) prospect is a reliable finisher on the interior, has a good motor, and can step out and knock down jump shots consistently from 10 feet and in. Definitely a prospect to monitor going forward.
Randy Stanley, 2015 PF: Perhaps the most athletic prospect in the camp was the 6-foot-5 jumping jack from Monticello High School (AR). He was active on the glass all weekend, and finished several plays in transition using his never-ending motor. Very animated kid who always wants to win.
Brandon Vanover, 2016 C: The 6-foot-10 big man has a long ways to go in terms of development, but he has a solid base to work with. He has excellent hands for a big man, catching everything thrown to him in the paint. He also has some finesse on the inside, and finishes regularly around the rim. Plus, you can't teach his size, which will make him an attractive prospect down the road.
Henry Housley, 2014 SG: The 6-foot-3 shooting guard came out firing in the Top 40 All-Star Game, knocking down several long distance bombs in the first half. He was very animated when he had his game firing on all cylinders, and was very fun to watch in the process. When he's knocking down shots, he is hard to stop.

Comments:
would jost like to say that the 150 camp is not even close on there evaluations. the one’s that help out are not even basketball players so how can they no if a kid can or can not play in d 1. when the best player on his team finished lowest out of 7 players. so get better help please because your evaluations can hurt a player more then they can help one.just hope that coach’s dont think that you’ll now who can and can’t play at what level. so thank’s for nothing but taking are money and time.
