Atlanta, GA (Future150) -- The 2014 Future150 Atlanta Camp brought in talent from over 15 states this year, where several prospects shined brightest during the Top 20 All-Star Game.
P.J. Horne, 2017 PF, Georgia: The Tift County (GA) 6-foot-5 power forward is blessed with long arms and natural rebounding ability, which makes him a very special prospect on the basketball court. He put up big numbers all weekend and is becoming a more smooth and polished player. Once he starts to hone his perimeter skills, he could become one of the premier prospects in his class.
Avi Toomer, 2016 SG, Georgia: Toomer is an explosive combo-guard who is more than capable of creating his own shot. he is a good mid-range shooter who uses his quickness and leaping ability to score over defenders.
Jojo Anderson, 2015 PG, Texas: Anderson was aggressive throughout the weekend, getting into the lane and finding teammates for easy baskets. He also did a good job of scoring the ball and showed a renewed confidence in his jumper. He is the type of player who can play at either guard position thanks to his unselfishness and ability to make winning plays.
Josh Linder, 2017 SF/PF, Georgia: Still looking to make the transition from power forward to small foward, the 6-foot-7 Veterans High School (GA) product made most of his damage at camp by running the floor and showing off his length and athleticism, finishing several plays above the rim. He's also a good rebounder on both ends and has above-average vision for a player his size.
Drue Drinnon, 2018 PG, Georgia: The 6-footer continues to make waves in the Atlanta area with his play. This past weekend, he put in work against older competition on his way to the Top 20 All-Star game. Even when his jump shot isn't falling, his ability to take his man off-the-dribble and be a creator makes him a special guard at this point in time for the 2018 class.
Donovan Donaldson, 2015 PG, Tennessee: With an extremely smooth feel for the game, the 5-foot-11 lead guard was impressive with his ball-handling ability as well as his ability to read the defense. Division two schools looking for a smart, high IQ guard should look his way.
Monte Greene, 2016 PG, Georgia: The quickest and most effective lead guard at camp was the 5-foot-9 Johnson High School (GA) product. He uses his blazing speed to get to wherever he wants on the floor and displays excellent court vision and can get paint touches at will.
Kyle Rawson, 2018 SF, South Carolina: Rawson is an intriguing combo-forward who ran the floor and rebounded the ball very well. He also showed the ability to step out and hit threes at times. At 6-foot-7 he has good size and projects as a division 1 player.
Marquaevious Williams, 2017 SG, Georgia: Right now Williams' best attributes are his ability to rebound the ball and his athleticism. He plays bigger than his 6'4'' frame would suggest and attacks the glass with a tenacity. He has also improved his ball-handling ability and his mid-range jumper.
Dorian Hashim, 2016 SF, Georgia: Hashim is a hard-nosed combo-forward who makes up for his lack of size with his work ethic. he is a great rebounder and good defender. The next step for him will be developing his perimeter game offensively.
Austin Kirby, 2016 SG, Tennessee: Kirby is a big guard who can shoot it from deep. He can also put the ball on the floor a bit and uses a pump-fake in order to get his man in the air and go by him. Once he improves his lateral quickness and defense he will be an intriguing prospect.
Kaiden Rice, 2017 SG/SF, South Carolina: Rice is an intriguing prospect who has a good shooting stroke. He did a good amount of damage in the mid-range, which is a lost art in today's game. He also showed the ability to get to the rim and knocked down a couple of threes throughout the weekend.
Aaron Reddick, 2016 PF, Georgia: The 6-foot-6 center picked up steam as the weekend went on, and the New Manchester (GA) product ended up having a stellar Top 20 All-Star Game performance to finish the camp. He runs the floor well, is a force on the boards, and blocks and alters several shots due to his size and length.
Eric Freeman, 2015 PF, South Carolina: The Battery Creek (SC) prospect might fly under the radar in the lowcountry, but he emerged at camp due to his strength and athleticism. The 6-foot-5 power player cleaned the glass and was a bully of a a defender on the low block as well.
Shawn Foxbrennen, 2015 SF, Georgia: Foxbrennan has the protoypical body of a division 1 player and has a chance to play at that level if he continues to develop. He is a long wing that can put the ball on the floor and pull-up from the mid-range or attack the rim.Right now he has the makings of a D2 player, he must get stronger and not settle for jump-shots if he wants to play at the d1 level.
DeMonte Jacobs, 2015 SG, South Carolina: A big and talented wing at 6-foot-4, Jacobs is at his best when he is shooting the basketball. He has a good feel for the game and is capable of getting hot in a hurry when shooting the basketball.
DeVontae Wilson, 2015 SG, South Carolina: One of the most physically imposing prospects at camp was the 6-foot-3 Battery Creek (SC) standout, who used his strong frame and slashing ability to be a standout. Once he improves his perimeter shooting, he will become a very hard player to stop in the lowcountry.
Eric Lovett, 2017 SG, Georgia: Lovett is an long and lanky wing that is a good defender and slasher. He has a solid frame and decent athleticism, The next step for him will be continuing to improve his ball-handling, as well as expanding the range on his jumper.
Max Hoekstra, 2017 SG, South Carolina: The rising sophomore is a fantastic shooter from the perimeter. The 22 Feet Academy (SC) wing also has fantastic size at 6-foot-5 and knows how to get open without the ball in his hands. Look for him to get college looks early due to his shooting ability, size & overall feel for the game.
Kenneth Barnes, 2016 SG, Alabama: The 6-foot-2 shooting guard proved to be one of the better shot makers at camp, especially from the mid-range. He plays with poise at all times on the floor and has a high basketball IQ as well.
Travontay Taylor, 2016 PG, Georgia: Taylor is a quick guard who looks to attack the rim when the opportunity arises . He has good vision and understands that his ability to put the ball on the floor allows his teammates to get open. He is also an above average shooter who can put points on the board if needed.
