Devin Evans (6' 8; Wing; Duluth; 2019)
One of the camp's top overall performers and a prospect with great College potential, Devin had a terrific showing. His combination of length and athleticism presented problems for opposing defenses throughout the day. In the halfcourt, he was very effective at attacking the basket and scoring at the rim. He thrives in the open court, runs the floor well, and had several thunderous dunks to finish the fast break. Defensively, he was very active in the paint, blocking shots and snatching rebounds. He also showed the ability to effectively defend the perimeter. His aggressiveness was consistent on both ends of the floor and he played with great energy. Easy to see why he is considered one of the top available talents in Georgia.

Omari Peek-Green (6' 5, SG; Dohn Community High School, Ohio; 2019)
Athletic prospect with strong 6'5 frame, The Ohio native generated a buzz throughout the day. The most physically imposing guard in the event, Omari was very effective taking his man off the dribble and powering thru contact at the rim for scores. He has a smooth pull-up jumper and gets good separation from the defender. Has the ability to play above the rim and finish with authority. Excellent rebounder for a guard. He does a great job initiating the fast break after securing rebound and distributed ball well. Has good court vision and makes the right pass. Looks very much the part of a Division I player.

Treylan Smith (6' 2, CG; Marietta; 2019)
Scoring combo guard with great quickness; Treylan is a tough player to guard off the dribble. He finishes really well in the paint and had multiple acrobatic finishes at the rim for scores. He is a good ball handler and creates well for himself. Wiry strong and finishes consistently over taller rim protectors. The lefty did a great job of getting to the rim, but also showed he can knock down the midrange jumper when defense sagged off. Nice looking prospect out of Cobb County.

Jamar Moore (6' 6, Wing; Loganville; 2019)
The camp format presents a long day of basketball with many of the participants showing fatigue by the afternoon session. However, the opposite was true for Jamar, who seemed to bring increased energy as the day went on. The long and bouncy wing guard played with a great motor on the both ends of the floor. Whether he was dunking on a defender in traffic, coming helpside to block a shot, or crashing the boards for a putback bucket, he was literally all over the court making plays. The passion he played with was contagious and spread to his teammates. The 1st Team All-Region selection was the Walton County Player of the Year and averaged 20 ppg and 10 boards this year as a Senior. High potential prospect.

Long wing guard with good athleticism; Jacobi left a positive impression on many of the Coaches in attendance. He has a versatile skill set; thrives in the open court and in half court set. Looks to attack the basket and uses his athleticism to convert at the rim. Adept at posting up smaller guards in the paint, while also displaying an effective outside jumper. Really like his ability to defend multiple positions. Throw in his 3.8 GPA and 24 ACT score and it easy to see why several College programs are heavily pursuing the Middle Georgia standout.

Zeff Felton (6' 7, Forward; Dooly County; 2019)
Zeff was a defensive powerhouse throughout the day. He played great interior defense, seemingly blocking or altering every shot that came his way. He is very active and plays with a great motor. Was one of the best rebounders in the camp; owning the boards on both ends of the court. Offensively, he played to his strengths, which is grabbing offensive putbacks and finishing around the basket with power layups and dunks. While still developing as a player, he has a very bright future. With the right JUCO program, could certainly see him emerging into an eventual Division I prospect

Demarcus Johnson (6' 0, PG, Tri-Cities; 2019)
Scoring point guard who was very effective from all three scoring levels. He used his quickness to get into the paint and uses his body extremely well to score at the rim among taller defenders. He is a knock down shooter from beyond the arc and is dangerous coming off high ball screens. A player who steps up big-time in clutch situations, Demarcus hit game winning shot at the buzzer to lead Tri-Cities to the AAAAAA State Title a few weeks back. All-State selection this past season. He currently holds offers from several Division II and Junior College programs. Is going to be a very nice player at next level.
