Nashville, TN (Future150) -- Future150 National Analyst: Andrew Force Contributor to story.
Future150 Underclassmen Camp Nashville featured players from 15 different states who came looking to get their name on the national radar. The 2018 class featured some new and old faces on the camp series tour.
Here are the top performers from the 2018 All-Star Game.
Keontai Windrow, 2018 PG, Tennessee: Windrow is a pass first point guard who has some wiggle in his game. He showed a good first step which allowed him separation from his defender when attacking the lane. His half court vision was on point as he created easy opportunities for his teammates. If you leave him open, he can make open jumpers from all areas on the floor.
Justin Bray, 2019 SF, Tennessee: Bray routinely hits the open jumper. He excels with the mid-range buckets. The 6’3” small forward played up against the 2018 class. The strength gap did not bother him as Bray is plenty strong. The speed of play was not difficult defensively, but Bray did not show the ability to penetrate against bigger wings. He settled for a handful of triples when he could have worked for more. Bray has good feet for a face-up four. It seems he wants to be a wing though and to do that he will need to show a quicker first step.
Abdul Davis, 2018 PG, Georgia: The creativity of Davis coupled with his tight handle make him an electric lead guard. Davis will always have to prove he can play against elite players because he stands 5’8”. It takes no time at all for Davis to impose his will on a game. His exceptional quickness and court vision create havoc for entire defenses, not just his individual defender. Outside shooting is streaky. He needs to work the ball around before heaving a premature triple. There were a few times he bad decisions that led to easy baskets on the other end.
Jalen Johnson, 2018 PG, Kentucky: The defensive acumen of Johnson is staggering. During the five-man basketball he locked up the best scorer for an important last minute possession. Johnson has the natural quickness found in elite players. From out of Kentucky Johnson showed a broad understanding of the basketball. The crossover is a killer.
Chris Hunter, 2018 SG, Tennessee: Hunter earned the moniker, 'Draymond Green' for his strength and versatility. He gets into the lane with his strength, but can hit the occasional triple too. Hunter needs to invest a little more defensively. Outside shooting will be a strength. Right now he takes a few too many contested shots to be his best self. Hunter's teammates love him. He has a great attitude and encourages everyone to compete. Natural leader.
Elijah Price, 2018 SF, Alabama: Price moves well off the ball. He is a decent shooter from deep. For now his best zone is the mid-range. Price plays really well in a zone defensive concept and when a play is drawn Price hits his spots with speed. He projects as a catch-and-shoot guy. Price's offensive rebounding helps out the team.
Silas Clark, 2018 PG, Tennessee: Silas is tinkering with a diabolical step-back three-pointer. Once he perfects that element his scoring prowess will hit the roof. Already Clark is a great shooter from 12'-18'. He plays defense with devotion. Clark also feeds the post without incident. The one think that stood out the most about his play was his competitive nature and never giving up on a play. Gotta love how hard he plays.
Fionn Brown, 2018 SF, Georgia: Brown's dazzling change of direction and assertive play truly vaulted him to top five attendees. Brown needs to be evaluated against older and bigger players because he was just too much to contain. Slashing and offensive rebounding are great strengths. He catches the ball high. One area for improvement is coachability. Brown is a pleasant person, so he is not at all a difficult teammate. He does need to stick to defined tasks instead of constantly free-wheeling. To this point in his development Brown has easily dominated without relying upon plays.
Brandon Suggs, 2018 SF, Georgia: Suggs has a size and strength advantage on his peers. Defensively, he projects as a wing. The only problem with Suggs game is that he isn't quite sure what he his strengths are. The mobility is good. The touch around the rim is ok. Suggs just doesn't finish off plays like he needs to. Because he has athleticism and size Suggs will likely be a dangerous second option at the varsity level. To climb higher he needs to concoct a few go-to moves.
Waikel Mitchell, 2018 SF, Georgia: Mitchell is a mercurial talent. For stretches he will dominate play and then he takes a few possessions off. The high points suggest Mitchell can be an elite attacker from either wing spot. When he doesn't see the ball he starts to fade from the scene. Staying engaged mentally might be the only hurdle for this nimble wing. He can score on all three levels and had few highlight dunks which kept his defenders off balance. He is also very versatile and has good court vision. Look for him to get a look during the next national rankings update.
Jordan Lockridge, 2018 PG, Tennessee: Lockridge was one of the more consistent skilled players in the camp. He brought a confidence to the gym that was easy to see from day 1. He has shooting guard skills in a point guards body. He made big shot after big shot from the 3-point line all weekend long. As he becomes more coachable and understands the game better look for him to go to the next level.
Dewayne Stewart, 2018 SF, Mississippi: Once the ball hits this smooth lefty's hands, Stewart springs to life with an uncommon ferocity. His gigantic strides were frightening. Stewart provided four of the top five dunks of the camp. Athleticism suggests high major future. He can score in bunches and has all the moves. Stewart’s four-on-four team served as giant killers. They brought down the camp season’s first true dynasty. An hour of halfcourt winning came to an abrupt end when Stewart’s squad hit the floor. Look for him to make his debut in the next national rankings update.
Caleb Watkins, 2018 PG, Alabama: Watkins is incredibly quick. He spins with the ball blindingly fast. Only a couple times did he appear to be moving too quickly for his own good. Overall Watkins had a strong weekend. One needed improvement is court vision. He tends to get tunnel vision when he darts into the lane. By remembering his wings and corner options Watkins will open up his game so much. The quickness and handle are already great.
Christian Copeland, 2018 PG, Alabama: Copeland is one of the those players that does a little bit of everything when he's on the floor. He's a good on ball defender, makes the right pass, and will do all the little things it takes to win. His court vision might of been his best attribute we saw over the weekend. At times he can fall in love with the 3-point shot, but if makes one or two look out. Solid overall weekend.
