Conner Frankamp
Conner Frankamp 6’1 Guard North
James Says: He’s an excellent point guard on both ends of the floor as well as a good perimeter shooter.
Pop Says: Lethal play maker with rock star confidence. Definitely one of the better players at camp. He sees everything in slow motion a la the Matrix. I would pay to watch Frankamp play pick up. The Jayhawks won big on this one.
Hunter Myers 6’7 Wing Douglas
James Says: He is a strong defender and shot-blocker thanks to his top-notch instincts and positioning.
Pop Says: You could tell Hunter was not comfortable in a run-and-gun camp like this. I like his length and touch at the wing position.
Mike Young 6’8 Wing/Post Hudson Catholic
James Says: He’s strong and physical with a good handle that allows him to advance the ball from anywhere on the floor.
Pop Says: Not flashy but makes plays on both sides of the ball. High major productivity. Combo forward.
Derrick Walton 6’0 Guard Chandler Park
James Says: His strength and body control allow him to easily finish or pass out of his drives.
Pop Says: One of my favorite playmakers in the camp. He had no problem with penetrating and finding teammates. Good shooter with a strong handle.
Drew Bender 6’4 Wing Pinnacle

Pop Says: I didn’t get to see enough of him play.
Martez Harrison 6’0 Guard University Academy

Jarrell Martin 6’8 Post Madison Prep
James Says: He’s an outstanding rebounder who will surprise you with the range on his jump shot.
Pop Says: Definitely one of the strongest prospects in the camp as far as productivity. Loved his motor, touch and relentless effort on the glass.

Geno Thorpe 6’2 Guard Shaler

Pop Says: I didn’t see enough of him playing.
Patson Siame 6’11 Post Impact Academy

Christian Wood 6’8 Wing Findlay Prep
James Says: His extra aggressiveness on offense combined with his perimeter shooting makes him a multidimensional offensive weapon.
Pop Says: Length on length on length. Body build is of Durant. He made several plays that most human beings dream of. Woods played at a high level and Rebel fans will be happy.

Solomon Poole 6’1 Guard Parker
James Says: His effort, strength, and lateral quickness make him an incredibly tough defender.
Pop Says: Strong athletic combo guard who gets airborne with a step in the paint. Defensively, he is gritty and he showed his abilities to shut down scorers.
Zach LaVine 6’2 Guard Bothell
James Says: His quick release and ability to shoot off the dribble make him a difficult player to defend on the perimeter.
Pop Says: The best iso player in the camp. Can knockdown from 23 feet off a change of direction with a hand in his face. In the open court, LaVine is explosive. At times he will coast, but there is no denying LaVine is a player with nice upside.
Cullen Neal 6’4 Guard Eldorado
James Says: His court vision and passing ability allow him to play well at either guard position.
Pop Says: Pass first combo guard who created for others and made shots. Didn’t have much FGA but you could tell he was in distribution mode all weekend. St. Mary’s fans will get a gem with Neal.
Wayne Selden 6’5 Wing Tilden
James Says: He has a well-developed body and is an elite passer for his size and position.
Pop Says: Top of the box jumper who made plays for the sensation. Loves to handle in the open and half court and sees the cutters. Unusual feel with a dynamite body. Freak athlete.
Chris McCullough 6’9 Post Salisbury
James Says: He is well-rounded and understands how to use his good athleticism to his benefit on both ends of the floor.
Pop Says: After watching McCullough catch a tip jam on 3 defenders all I could say is “Up up and away.” Pro size length with baby pro bounce. Unlimited upside at the 4/3 position.
Julian Jacobs 6’3 Guard Desert Pines
James Says: He’s an athletic point guard who is a major threat in transition to score above the rim or create an easy shot for a teammate.
Pop Says: Consistently plays at the rim in the open court. Does an excellent job rebounding from the guard position and finding teammates in the open floor. Several coast to coast plays that ended with athletic two-handed dunks.
Clifford Alexander 6’9 Post Currie
James Says: He’s aggressive around the rim, overwhelming opponents in the post and on the offensive glass.
Pop Says: The only block prospect who consistently placed you on his hip and sealed you off, demanded the ball and finished right over the top of you with his belly button on your face. Top performer.
Derryck Thornton, Jr. 6’0 Guard Sierra Canyon
James Says: He’s an eighth grader who passes the ball exceptionally well.
Pop Says: He created a ton of havoc on the defensive end. Special is the word that best describes his game. Very quick and bursty just the way high majors love ‘em.
Kevin Looney 6’7 Wing Hamilton
James Says: He’s vocal on the court and works to get open with a variety of cuts.
Pop Says: Long, lanky high major athletic prospect who made plays all weekend on both sides of the floor. Big swingman.
Shaqquan Aaron 6’7 Wing Home School
James Says: His height and arsenal of skills make him an intriguing weapon to any team’s offensive arsenal.
Pop Says: Sprouted up another 2 inches. 6’7+ is where I list him. His game is bigger, stronger and more athletic. The next 12 months will indicate how special he will be.
Casey Benson 6’2 Guard Corona de Sol

Vince Hunter 6’7 Wing Consortium
James Says: His ball-handling ability for his size and his ability to slash make him tough to stop from the wing.
Pop Says: His last name depicts his game. Pure appetite to compete, hit, rebound and own the rim. Hunter had a very productive weekend and I see high major written all his face.
Jahmel Taylor 5’10 Guard Sierra Canyon
James Says: His pull-up jumper has superior range, well beyond the three-point line.
Pop Says: Shot the deep ball extremely well. Every shot was lined up even on misses. Taylor can slide over to the one, but he is more of a cosmetic play-maker who can really score.
Daniel Hamilton 6’7 Wing St. John Bosco
James Says: He’s a comfortable scorer who can convert via drives from the wing or pull-up three-pointers.
Pop Says: A walking pro was sighted and Hamilton was arrested. Long, smooth and makes the difficult shots look easy. Showed his ability to get to the rim. He’s not a super athlete, but like his brother, he is wired to score.
Damontrae Jefferson 5’8 Guard Hamilton
James Says: He looks to use his quickness and handle to attack the basket.
Pop Says: Small in height but his cardiac muscle is larger than life. Jefferson definitely over-dribbles, but his guard skills are advanced. Feisty defender who makes plays and knows how to win.
Brandon Randolph 6’2 Guard St. Bernard
James Says: He’s a high rising combo guard who wreaks havoc on offense and defense alike.
Pop Says: Might be the best mid-major combo at the camp. Built strong but has a finess pullup and strong cross over dribble.
Rashad Muhammad 6’4 Guard Bishop Gorman
James Says: He’s comfortable shooting threes off the dribble or off the catch.
Pop Says: He showed his versatility playing all three guard positions and knocked down a few fadeaways that were out of his box from the dribble.
Stephen Domingo 6’7 Wing St. Ignatius Prep
James Says: He’s a wing with an outside shot that requires you to guard him everywhere in the half-court.
Pop Says: The Georgetown big body shooter didn’t shoot the ball great at camp, but how can you ignore a 6’7 catch-and-shoot shooter who still created opportunities for open slashing lanes?
Karviar Shepard 6’9 Post Grace Prep
James Says: He’s a great rebounder who is comfortable both around the basket and facing up from the high post.
Pop Says: He’s the only kid I saw take more than one charge. He plays the game the right way. He has a big body, and is decent athlete who contested shots, blocked out and did the little things consistently and rarely complained.
Chance Murray 6’3 Wing Price
James Says: He’s smooth, and his body control and jump shot allow him to score in creative ways from the wing.
Pop Says: He made a nice delayed split in a corner half court trap and finished at the rim. Shoots the ball and didn’t hunt his shots.
Kevin Zabo 6’1 Guard Montrose Christian
James Says: He uses his quickness to full effect, driving to the basket or pulling up for a jumper if given space.
Pop Says: Foot speed did not overwhelm me. Pay attention to his touch: it’s soft and accurate from the dribble pull and catch.
JaQuan Newton 6’2 Guard St. John Neumann
James Says: He goes right to the rim time and time again and can make a variety of passes out of his drives.

Shaquile Carr 6’1 Guard Canyon Springs
James Says: His tight footwork on his drives allows him the space to convert at a good rate.
Pop Says: I was waiting for another coming out party for Carr but I guess I have to wait for next year. Explosive, good handle and an excellent defender.
Ben Simmons 6’8 Wing/Post Melbourne, Australia
James Says: He has a strong body and plays above the rim both on offense and on the boards.
Pop Says: An overall good athlete that can play the combo forward positions. One of the most consistent prospects in the camp
