Nashville, TN (Future150) -- The Future150 Camp Series was back on the road in the city known for country music, Nashville, Tennessee. This marked the 6th time the camp had been in the city. This camp featured players from 6 different states in the 2019-2021 classes.
Let's check out who the top performers on the weekend were and and how they faired. Tons of talent on hand as always.
Tyrus Reddin, PG, Missouri (2020): Reddin is extremely quick with the ball in his hands. He has a great first step and loves getting downhill on his defender. The mid-range jumper is his friend. Tough, hard-nosed and tenacious are three words that describe him on defense. Solid overall weekend.
Reese McMullen, PG, Tennessee (2021): McMullen was one of the bright spots in the camp and he is only going into the 8th grade. He has a long wiry frame, plays with savy and can score from anywhere on the floor. His court vision and mid-range jumper is something you just don’t see at this age. He is definitely a player to watch for in the next couple of years.
Terry Clardy, SF Arkansas (2019): Clardy is a familiar face to the Future150 Camp and he gets better every time we see him. He has grown to 6-foot-3 inches and has gotten more athletic. His outside shot has become more consistent and his ball-handling skills have improved. He was a scoring machine all weekend long, especially from deep. Blocking shots, getting steals and rebounding, Clardy was doing it all. He takes home Co-MVP honors.
Willie Wilson Jr., SF, Tennessee (2019): Wilson Jr. might have been the best all-around player at the camp. He can play both inside and out. At 6-foot-5 inches, he is a mismatch on both the post and perimeter. He has long arms and is a great athlete. On the defensive side, rebounding and blocking shots made it almost impossible to score on him. If you leave him open, he showed the ability to knock down shots from anywhere. He takes home Co-MVP honors on the weekend.
Camren Hunter, SG, Tennessee (2021): Hunter is a pure shooter in every way. He has a fundamental shot and makes it look easy stroking the ball from deep. The smooth lefty was a tough guard all weekend long. He has a good body and understands how to play the game, especially on offense. If you lose him, it's money in the bank because hes not going to miss an open shot from anywhere on the floor.
Timothy Pendleton, SG Arkansas (2019): Pendleton has a great body and knows how to use it to his advantage. He was in attack mode all weekend both in transition and from the wing. He is a solid on-ball defender and rebounder in the half court. As he stretches his game to the 3-point line, look for him to take the next step in his development.
Jalen Montgomery, PG Tennessee (2020): Montgomery has long legs, arms and a wiry frame. He plays both guard positions well and can score in bunches. His step back mid-range jumper was his go-to move all weekend long. The Memphis product reminds us of another Memphis player, LaGerald Vick, who is at Kansas currently. Tons of upside to his game.
Marvin Hughes, CG Tennessee (2020): Hughes was a pleasant surprise as the camp began. He has a great body and is a great athlete for a player his age. His ability to handle the ball, create for others and score himself made it impossible for anyone to stop him. Scoring on all three levels, especially from the 3-point line, is what he did best.
Javonte Platt, PG Arkansas (2020): Platt is one of those players that every coach wants on his team. He is a coach on the floor, understands how to play and can do it all. His feel for the game is what sets him apart from his peers. Competitor is a word that best describes his drive and ability to make plays. Solid overall weekend.
Tyler Parker, SF Tennessee (2020): Parker is one of those players that just seems to be around the ball on every play. He gets tons of offensive rebounds and made a living in the post scoring. As he continues to develop his guard skills, heart is just something that can’t be measured and he affected the game when he was on the court.
Brent Asbury, CG Tennessee (2019): Asbury has a long frame, good quickness and can play both guard positions on the floor. He was in attack mode all weekend long. He can score on all three levels and is smooth while doing it. He was one of the more polished players with a ton of upside to his game. Court vision and creating for his teammates is what he does best.
Larry Holmes, PG Tennessee (2020): Holmes is an attack and score first point guard who can get downhill on you in a hiccup. He is extremely physical on both offense and defense. His fire and willingness to compete is what sets him apart. Every coach wants a player that will guard the best player on the other team and go get you a bucket.
Jared Ward, SG Tennessee (2019): Ward is a hard worker on both ends of the floor. He rebounds well from the guard position and just seems to make plays. He can knock down open jumpers and loves scoring in transition. Fundamentals are the name of the game at this age and he has a good base to start.
Joshua Stinson, PG Tennessee (2020): Stinson showed up late to the camp and only played on Sunday, but boy did he play. He was everywhere on defense getting steal after steal. Knocking down jumper after jumper, he was just almost impossible to stop. He has good ball-handling skills, active hands and is crafty around the basket when scoring.
Caleb Henry, CG Tennessee (2017): Henry was in town and wanted to get some run so he decided to drop by the camp. It was easy to see why he stood out due to he was scoring at will and getting anywhere on the floor he wanted. He showed a good burst and love scoring in transition. His ability to make plays is what stood out the most.
Jalen Westfield, SG Tennessee (2019): Westfield was definitely one of the best pure shooters in the entire camp. He was letting it fly from the 3-point line, especially on Sunday. He is solid on defense and has crafty handles which creates space so he can get to his jumper. At one point in the camp he hit 4 straight from deep. Solid overall performance on the weekend.
Dorian Anderson, SF Tennessee (2020): Anderson is a wiry prospect who plays on the wing but has the length and quickness to play and guard multiple positions. He is a rebounding machine and loves to score off the bounce. He is a good athlete and on ball defender. If you leave him open, he will make shots in bunches. Tons of upside to his game.
Isaiah Johnson, PG Tennessee (2019): Johnson has a burst of the bounce you just don’t see that much at this age. His first step is extremely quick to go along with his hesitation dribble move which made him impossible to stop. He was definitely one of the best finishers at the rim we saw all weekend long. Unselfish, smart and tough are three words that describe his game. Oh, and by the way, if you leave him open he will make you pay with the mid-range jumper.
Brence Platner, PF Flordia (2020): Platner was one of the true post players we had in the camp. He made a living on the block both scoring and rebounding. He was one of the better rebounders on both ends we saw all weekend long. If you need a high ball screen, Brence is your guy. He’s an excellent ball screener and made a living off the pick and roll. As he becomes more athletic, look for his game to go to the next level.
Josiah Francis, SG Tennessee (2019): Francis is one of those players who can punish his defender with his body both inside and out. For a player his size, he was one of the better rebounders in the camp. His on ball defense and ability to create plays not only for himself but his teammates is what stood out the most. Solid overall performance on the weekend.
