Orlando, FL (Future150) -- While they didn't make the Top 20 All-Star Game at Future150 Orlando Camp, there were plenty of young prospects who shined and their best basketball is down the road. Here is a look at the Top 40 All-Star selections from our Orlando Camp this past weekend.
Shaun Willett, 2015 SG, Heritage: The MVP of the Top 40 All-Star Game, the 6-foot-2 Heritage (FL) product was a consistent scorer on all three levels and gave the defense fits with his complete game. He is athletic and physical on both ends, making him a constant threat.
Elijah Farrakhan, 2015 PG, Heritage: The 6-foot Heritage (FL) lead guard showed off his explosive first step and breezed by defenders at will throughout the camp. He finished well at the rim and was also a problem for defenders in transition as well.
Kaleb Coleman, 2019 SF, Howard Middle (FL): The future is extremely bright for the 6-foot-5 small forward, who is only a rising 8th grader, yet was one of the best prospects in the Top 40 All-Star Game. He can score the basketball on all three levels and has skills well beyond his years.
Jareb Dougherty, 2016 SG, St. Joseph Academy (FL): An outside shooting threat with excellent size at 6-foot-4, the St. Joseph Academy (FL) wing has a nose for scoring, and moves well without the ball in his hands. Improved speed and ball skills can make him a dangerous player.
Michael Johnson, 2019 PF, Lauderdale Lakes Middle (FL): A hard working 6-foot-1 power forward, Johnson was a force on the offensive and defensive boards throughout the camp. He finished well around the rim and was also a physical defender as well.
Gaquez Melvin, 2017 SG, University School (FL): Melvin is a pure scorer who is constantly hunting his own shot. he can create scoring opportunities for both himself and others but is at his best when looking to put points on the board. He must learn to become a better passer and look to get his teammates more involved.
Robert Thomas, 2017 PG, Liberty Prep Christian (FL): Thomas is a good mid-range shooter who can also use his ball-handling ability to get into the lane. He is a tad undersized but makes up for it with good speed and vision.
Jaylen Ritchie, 2015 SG, Royal Palm Beach (FL): Ritchie is an athletic wing that is a good scorer and is at his best as a slasher. He is a high energy guard that is also a good rebounder and is more than capable of finishing through contact.
Stanley Davis, 2016 PG, Leon (FL): Davis is a great mid-range shooter who was able to get to dangerous areas on the floor and find ways to either put up points or find his teammates for open looks. The next step for him will be working on his overall strength.
Brandon Guzie, 2016 PG, Bartram Trail (FL): Guzie is a smart, pass-first point guard who keeps his head on a swivel and looks to get his teammates involved as much as possible. He is also capable of getting to the rim and scoring in the mid-range as well.
Steven Quintero, 2018 SF, Coral Springs Christian Academy (FL): Quintero is a good shooter who is fundamentally sound. He is a decent defender and passer who must work to get stronger. As of right now he trends as a decent prospect and will be one to keep an eye on moving forward.
Kwame Aniapam, 2016 SF, Wekivka (FL): Aniapam is a big time slasher who uses his length incredibly well on the defensive end. He has a strong frame that also allows him to absorb contact and finish around the rim.
Elijah Mcghie, 2016 PG, Zephyrhills (FL): The 5-foot-9 point guard was smooth and poised with the ball in his hands last weekend. He made good decisions and knew when to run the offense and when to push the ball in transition. He showed that he can score the basketball as well.
Joe Stone Jr., 2016 SG, Riverview (FL): Stone is an athletic guard who looks to score at the rim or from deep. He is a good defender who plays bigger than he is. Stone is also a talented slasher. Once he improves his jumper beyond the arc he will be a big scoring threat.
Trey McCray, 2018 PG, Santa Fe (FL): A prospect with one of the higher IQ's in the camp was the 5-foot-7 Santa Fe (FL) freshman. He loves to play fast and can knock down shots from the perimeter or take the ball to the basket. Also a capable passer as well.
Jermaine Normil, 2019 SF, Dillards Middle (FL): One of the top prospects in attendance was also one of the youngest. The 6-foot-1 Dillards Middle School (FL) wing uses his athleticism and nose for the ball to make an impact on the floor. He has a high motor and can score with both hands.
Connor Doobay, 2018 SG, Lake Nona (FL): A long and lanky combo guard, the Lake Nona (FL) product was smooth with the ball in his hands throughout the weekend. He made good decisions with the ball in his hands and was equal parts scorer and distributor.
Tyler White, 2017 PG, Durant (FL): The 6-foot-1 combo guard was impressive with his ball-handling ability this past weekend. He showed an ability to knock down shots from the mid-range as well as possess a quick enough first step to get to the basket at will.
Jacquez Williams, 2016 SG, Orlando (FL): Williams is a good passer who is a long and lanky defender. He can put the ball on the floor a bit and can get to the rim but must improve his jumper. He is also a vocal player who looks to be a leader.
Max Demeus, 2019 PG, Orlando (FL): Demeus is a great defender who has good vision and looks to push the pace when possible. He has good size for a player his age and looks like he has a chance to be a big time prospect in the class of 2019 if he continues to develop.
