Indiana Basketball Source had the chance to observe the adidas Prospect Camp at Warren Central High School Thursday. The camp attracted talented players from places like South Carolina, Mississippi and Indiana. Here’s a look at 14 players that stood out during the camp.

 

Aristide Boya (2019) was the dominant force of the adidas Prospect Camp. He was blocking everything as opponents attempted shots in the lane against him. He collected every rebound as well. Boya was patient in the post and showed multiple pivot moves that he finished. Boya was offered by Bradley Wednesday and it looks like more will come if he continues to play like this.

 

Malcolm Wilson (2019) was nearly as impressive as Boya. Wilson is in the 6-foot-10 range with a thin, long build right now. He runs the floor like a guard. He actively crashed the boards then finished with a soft touch in the lane. He displayed the ability to finish with either hand as well. There is a reason that schools like Clemson, South Carolina and VCU have offered Wilson. He is a high-potential prospect in the 2019 class.

 

Tristan Davis (2018) was one of the best scorers in the camp. His slashing ability is fantastic. He was getting to the basket nearly every possession. Davis has a combination of explosive athleticism and plenty of dribble moves that allow him to get to the paint. He is a good finisher once he gets to the lane as well. Davis also displayed that he can hit spot-up three-pointers. He’s a good low to mid-major prospect.

 

Arturro Bingham (2018) was another player that stood out behind his slashing ability. Bingham is a 6-3 wing with long arms and a strong build. When he ripped the ball through and drove, defenders were not able to keep him away from the basket. He is a very good vertical athlete. He reported mostly small college interest at this point.

 

Keon Ambrose-Hylton (2020) is a 6-foot-4 wing with extremely wide shoulders and long arms. He was active on the boards throughout the scrimmages. He’s a good athlete that will finish above the rim with ease. He had a couple of mid-range catch and shoot baskets as well. Ambrose-Hylton has a thin build right now, so he produces through skill, effort and natural athleticism. He’s a player to watch for Yes II Success.

 

Aaron Etherington (2019) had a strong showing Thursday. He made plays on both ends of the floor. Etherington was able to force steals multiple times that led to transition baskets. He knocked down a few spot-up threes. He finished with powerful dunks like normal as well.

 

Marcus Metcalf (2019) is a shooter and he stood out because of it. He has a shooter’s mentality with deep range. The 5-11 guard has a nice stroke that leads to his consistency from the outside. He’s a pretty good overall athlete as well.

 

Joe Green (2019) is a slashing with good vertical athleticism. He displayed dribble moves to get to the rim plus good ball-handling skills. He showed some downhill speed coming off of screens. There is a lot to like about Green’s game.

 

Mawich Kachjaani (2019) had a good showing. He was patient in the post and made good reads/passes from the post. He rebounded well against a variety of post players with size. He even stepped away from the basket and made a spot-up 3.

 

Ronald Jones (2019) is a physical specimen at 6-foot-3, long arms and a very strong build. He’s a combo forward that can play in the lane because of his strength and length. Jones is a good leaper that can hit a spot-up three as well.

 

Colt Savage (2018) seemed to play better as others showed fatigue. Savage finished well and frequently in transition. He showed some wiggle off the dribble. He rebounded very well. He took contact while finishing as well. Savage is a good outside shooter.

 

Mabor Majak (2020) had his hands full with the depth of post players at the camp, but he held his own. Majak plays with energy each time that he takes the floor. He doesn’t dwell on missed shots or a mistake. He just moves on to the next play with effort and enthusiasm. As he adds muscle, the game is going to become easier and easier for him.

 

Jaivion Garrett (2019) is another guy with great strength and athletic ability. The lefty showed that he can hit a spot-up three-pointer and finish above the rim with ease. With his strength, he can play as an undersized forward. There is a lot of versatility to Garrett’s game.

 

Luke Richardson (2019) is a strong forward that keeps his nose down and works. He attacks rebounds and has the strength to come down with a bunch of them. He’s a straight forward finisher around the rim. Richardson’s energy and effort makes him stand out in a camp setting.
