Numerous division one prospects have graced and competed in the blue & white Cream of The Crop Jerseys before stepping foot on a high school campus. From 2019 Tyrese Maxey, Devion Harmon to UT Longhorn commit Gerald Liddell & 2018 Grayson Carter, The Cream of The Crop has been a stage and opportunity for young players to prove they are a rising star in the lone star state. In this years edition, over 130 rising 8th/2022 and 9th/2021 graders arrived at the Duncanville Fieldhouse to learn, compete and showcase their skill set.
Miguel Massey, 2021 PF: Massey exhibited solid foot work on the block as the post-man finished inside through contact and blocked shots in the paint. Massey is understanding how to throw his body around and his deceptively quick when facing up to the basket.
Chris Felix, 2021 SG: A smooth, scoring two-guard that plays with length on both ends. Felix has an innate ability to put the ball in the basket. Was one of the best scorers off the bounce at the Cream of The Crop and the staff is high on Felix’s playmaking ability and potential.
Michael Unga, 2021 C: Unga is a project but defensively caused issues for opponents due to his length, lateral movement and vertical leap. Michael looks like a gazelle when running the floor and once his IQ and feel for the game improves, he can become a D1 prospect.
KJ Adams, 2021 F: Adams’ displayed an arial assault onto the rim as he finished above the basket in numerous occasions. His strength and athleticism caused problems for his opponents but will need to continue to develop ball skills as he progresses. Arguelibly the top camper for two days (Sat. & Sun)
Spencer Hutchinson, 2021 SG: Hutchinson is effective without the ball in his hands as he competes on the defensive side, rebounds and does the little things to keep his team in games. With the ball he is effective in the open court and fearless when attacking the basket.
Adam Stewart, 2022 C: Adam is another big man project but Stewart has made large strides in his game over the past 6 months. The 7ft wingspan (According to Sources) allowed Adam to alter/block shots on closeouts and on the block in post defense. Stewart was one of the top performers in the camp that showed a high ceiling.
Collin Smith, 2022 F: Smith’s versatility was on hand at the Cream of The Crop as he scored inside and out and got to his spots on the floor. His size and skill allowed him to exploit mismatches.
Kobe Bratton, 2022 PG: A quick, fast paced guard that sliced through the teeth of the defense. From end to end he was a tough cover as he pressured the defense and got to the paint. A high volume scorer that needs to see the floor better but has the tools to potentially be very good.
Noah Shelby, 2022 G: Shelby got his feet set quick and displayed a nice stroke from the perimeter. Noah was patient coming off the pick and roll and showed a mature poise in his spot minutes at point.
Nazir Brown, 2022 G: Brown shot it well off the closeout and moves to the spots on the floor to create space for his teammates. Brown scored in bunches and had efficient scoring outings.
