KENNESAW, Georgia — The Southern Hoops Report Fall Showcase produced a number of names to track heading into this winter. Players still got training, structure, and individual attention. Here are the next eight names from the Showcase.

Eli Maye — Habersham County / 6’2  — 2027

Maye is an experienced player who knows how to play the game. He works without the ball as a screener and a cutter. He is active on the glass. He has great awareness on either end of the floor. When he has the ball in his hands he is efficient and skilled. He showed footwork with pivots and used a fadeaway to create angles to score. His drives were north/south and difficult for defenders to curb. There is a lot with Maye’s game to be optimistic about heading into his senior season.

Parker Garrison — Westminster / 6’ — 2028

Garrison is a solid fundamental player who plays the game with a little flair. He lit up the gym with a behind the back pass in transition that was one of the highlight plays of the day. Beyond that play though, he set himself apart as a slasher with the ball who can finish in traffic or kick to open shooters around the perimeter. We will keep track of Garrison as he continues his journey in high school.

Buddha Key — Cherokee High School / 5’11” — 2029

Key was one of the few underclassmen to show out at the camp. He did it by being at the right spot at the right time. He stayed active away from the ball and gave himself easy chances to score by cutting and finishing broken plays. We were impressed with his defensive stance when he was guarding the ball. There is room for even more growth in Key’s game, but his foundation is already solid.

Justin Lamisere — Mt. Bethel / 6’ — 2029

Lamisere is a left-handed guard who stood out with his shot-making ability. He drained several jumpers from beyond the 3-point arc and off the pull-up in the midrange. His high, consistent follow-through is a signal that last weekend was not a fluke. He looks to be the type of guy who can be counted on to drain multiple jumpers during a game. The sophomore’s game is not limited to just shooting, however. He pushed tempo in transition and finished in traffic with poise.

Dallon Looney — Landmark Christian, 5-10 — 2027

Looney is a point guard who sees the floor and anticipates the next play. We watched him set the deck during 3/3 drills and deliver dimes to teammates. When it came to game play, he did much of the same. He pushed tempo in the open floor and delivered timely skip passes to open shooters. We appreciated his high energy attitude and his willingness to make the right play at the right time.

Jayden Eggleston — Thompson (AL), 6’ — 2028

Eggleston has a great feel in the open floor. He keeps his eyes up and is quick to deliver an assist to a cutting teammate. In the half court he showed an equal ability to impact the game. He drained the spot-up 3-pointer and was aggressive putting the ball on the floor to attack. The Alabama native also proved that you do not always need height to rebound. He fought for rebounds in traffic, making his game one of the more well-rounded ones we evaluated at the camp.

Noah Jones — Peachtree Ridge, 6-2 — 2027

Jones earned consistent praise on the OTR Circuit over the past two seasons Team S.M.A.S.H. Scouts and evaluators regularly noted him for his playmaking. He backed up that reputation with more shot making at this camp. His game is more than scoring, however. He plays with awareness and the willingness to seize an opportunity to make the right play in context. His awareness with the ball in his hands is underrated. He kicks the ball to open players when he attacks downhill, making him a combo-guard who should make noise for Peachtree Ridge this season.

Aaron Davis — Cherokee / 6’ — 2028

Davis was one of the favorite new names we ran across at the camp last weekend. He finished plays off the dribble in traffic a number of times. His activity and athleticism were fun to watch. The point guard crashed the defensive glass and started the break and was quick to ping the ball to open teammates filling the lanes. That type of energy and willingness to involve others will translate well for the Indians this season.
