Andrew McConnell – 2021

McConnell is a small guard who can the score the ball off the bounce. When he gets its going he is deadly behind the arc. When he wasn’t knocking down shots he was showing off his great court vision by finding his open teammates for easy buckets.

Karrh does a great job of running the offense and directing teammates. He is an excellent ball handler that weaves and slashes through the defense with inside out and crossover dribble moves in order to get into the lane.

This was our first time seeing Bidwell, he as a high IQ and really understands how to run the pick and roll. He was able to blow past any defender that was in front of him. Once he got past his defender he was either finishing at the rim with an acrobatic layup or he was pulling up for his sweet jump shot.

Myles Rice – 2021

At the Atlanta Invitational this summer at Emory University, Myles was one of the top players that we had an opportunity to see. It was no different at the Rising Star Camp, he has nice size for a guard and has the ability to put points on the board in a hurry. When his feet are set he is almost automatic behind the three point line. Myles has skills to play either on the ball or off.

Travis Burrius – 2021

Green is very skilled and has nice hesitation dribble. He uses the step back to create separation and to get his shot off with ease but was also effective finishing in traffic. Green can get to the paint for lay-in attempts, but he also has a nice middle game, equipped with a smooth mid-range pull-up jump shot.
