COMPILED BY EDGAR WALKER AND PETER FEBBRARO
Future All-American Camp boasts a deep talent pool this summer, with many of the nation’s top rising 6th-10th graders in attendance. The players listed below are not necessarily the best prospects at camp, but the players who stood out with strong Day Two performances.
Marcus Floyd | Moyer Academy (Del.) | 5-8 G | 2015
Floyd is a true point guard–a facilitator who distributes the ball but can also get to the bucket and score easy points. He’s been arguably the most consistent point guard throughout camp, and is always one of the quickest players on the court. Floyd has been a rock for his team, and is one of the top performers we’ve seen from Delaware all summer. –@Edgar_Walker
Sam Iorio | Spring Hill (Pa.) | 6-2 F | 2017
The rising eighth grader has played hard since he arrived at camp. Controlling the game in the post and grabbing rebounds is Iorio’s specialty but he keeps defenses honest with his ability to step out and shoot the three. –@pfebbraro
Taron Oliver | Montrose Christian (Md.) | 6-8 F/C | 2015
Oliver is a long, fairly smooth big man who has a nice array of moves on the post. He has matched up well against players his size at camp, and has been a terrific scorer. He gets good position down low, sealing his defender early and showing a big target to ball handlers on the perimeter. –@Edgar_Walker
Zane Martin | Neumann-Goretti (Pa.) | 6-0 G/F | 2016
Getting to the rim and pushing the ball up the court in transition are two of the strengths of Martin’s game. He has the build to develop into a solid high school player and if his right-hand play can catch up to his natural left he could solidify his game. –@pfebbraro
Joseph Thomas | Sinclair Secondary (Canada) | 6-4 F | 2017
Thomas demonstrated an excellent ability to finish in the paint and his size helped him control the post while playing above his grade level since arriving at camp. His footwork is strong and he was able to move well with and without the ball. Should be in the all-star game discussion for Day Four. –@pfebbraro
Allen Harrison | Foundation Academy (N.J.) | 5-11 G | 2017
Harrison has good size for a guard his age, and plays with aggression at a high pace. He excels most in transition, where he separates from defenders and finishes extremely well. While he is a creative player who can take over when the play breaks down, Harrison can sometimes force th issue. –@Edgar_Walker
Daron Russell | Strath Haven MS (Pa.) | 5-0 G |2017
Russell’s ball-handling skills are tops on his team and if the open pass isn’t there, he possesses a good shot from mid and long range. At one point on Day Three he knocked down three straight 3-pointers. –@pfebbraro
