Houston, TX (Future150) -- On Saturday at "The Gym", Future150 Camp shattered our camp attendance record in a city known for its high school basketball talent; Houston, Texas.
With over 150 kids taking part in the camp, there was plenty of division one talent on display. Here are some of the standouts from Saturday's action:
De'Aaron Fox, 2016 PG: The 6-foot-3 lead guard came into the camp with more buzz than any camper in attendance. The current #10 prospect in our national rankings, he competed like he was unranked. It's clear how much he loves the game, and he has so much fun when gracefully dominating the competition. He is knocking on the door of top 5 status after his camp performance.
Frank Ryder, 2016 C: The 6-foot-8 rising sophomore is a mobile big man who was rebounding the basketball well on Saturday. He can score with either hand around the basket and showed off a pretty baby hook shot on the low block. He also showed the ability to make good passes out of the low post.
Dominic Magee, 2014 PG: One of the hottest names on the summer AAU circuit was the New Orleans native. The 6'4" floor general has a strong frame and uses it to get to the basket, where he finishes against contact. On Saturday, he was doing a masterful job of finding teammates in transition with his excellent court vision. Big 12 and SEC schools are dying to land the star point guard.
Stanley Kanu, 2014 PF: An undersized power forward at 6-foot-6, Stanley compensates for his lack of height with a never-ending motor. He is relentless in the low block and uses his muscular body to get results around the rim. He also rebounds the ball extremely well on both ends of the floor.
Juwan Green, 2014 PG: Another Louisiana point guard to shine on the first day of camp was the 6-footer with a smooth handle and excellent court vision. He did an excellent job of setting up his teammates and picked his spots wisely. He also knocked down several long range jumpers when the opporunities presented themselves.
Cameron Oluyitan, 2015 SG: One of the prospects with the highest upsides in the camp is the 6-foot-5 wing. He has excellent vision for a wing his size, and used it to rack up several assists on Saturday. He also showed the ability to put the ball on the floor and scored on several impressive slashes to the basket. He will be playing at Clements High School (TX) this high school season.
Darius Jones, 2014 CF: A long and athletic combination forward at 6-foot-6, Darius quietly fills up the stat sheet every game he is involved in. He plays with a laid-back style but affects the game in several ways. On Saturday, he stood out by rebounding, scoring around the rim, and playing within himself. Good looking prospect.
Andrew Davis, 2014 PF: Another undersized post, Andrew will be able to have a solid college career due to his skills in the low block. He can score easily with both hands, rebounds well, and plays fundamental basketball. He is also a solid low post passer and can stretch the defense with the 15 foot jump shot.
Brendon Ganaway, 2015 PG: The most impressive ball-handler of the day was the Bush High School (TX) rising junior. He had the ball on a string and had the crowd buzzing about his ability to shake defenders with ease. He was also knocking down deep jumpers with consistency, which helped raise his stock.
Donovan Franklin, 2015 SG: Another talented 6'5" wing, Donovan separated himself from the pack with his versatility. He was scoring the basketball on all three levels, rebounded on the defensive end, showcased good ball skills, and even showed great toughness on the defensive end of the floor.
