Basketball Spotlight Summer Camp Report: Class 2013

Jubri Adedkaya (Tinsley Park, IL)

Basketball Spotlight has the privilege of covering some of the top young camps in the country. We decided to end the summer with our top performers we saw at these events by class. Here’s a breakdown of the Top Performers in the Class of 2013.

Class 2013 Top Camp Performers

1. Jubri Adedkaya Forward (Tinsley Park, IL)- This kid was easily our choice at the Top Performer at the Jr. All American Camp. The versatile forward knows how and when to use his size during games. He takes up a lot of space and can either attack off the dribble or on the blocks. I was impressed with his natural feel for the game.

2. Britton Lee Guard (Philadelphia, PA)- Lee was the Top 2013 prospect at the Hoop Group Jr. Elite Camp. The youngster used his explosiveness, quickness and relentless defensive pressure to exploit most of his opponents. His competitive nature and shear toughness is something that all coaches will love. Working on his jump shot and his ball distribution will take his game to another level.

3. Bryson Scott Guard (Fort Wayne, IN)- Scott skill level and toughness at the guard spot makes him noticeable immediately. He can knock down the jumper or get to the cup on a regular basis. He really excels in transition where he shows his enact skill of getting to the tin. He had good showings at the Jr. All American Camp and Adidas Jr. Phenom.

4. Brian Bridgewater Forward (Baton Rogue, LA)- Bridgewater has the ability to take over the game any time he wants. He has a Jamal Mashburn in college type game meaning he can dominate on the blocks but also enjoys putting the rock on the floor. In VA he was a beast and did whatever he wanted.

5. Tarique Thompson Forward (Columbia, SC)- The lefty was a quiet storm at the Jr. All American and took the same game across country to Adidas Jr. Phenom Camp. He’s very efficient in scoring especially around the basket and works hard on the glass on both ends of the floor.

6. Larry Morton Forward (Lexington, KY)- Morton was a load to handle at the Jr. All American and the Hoop Group Jr. Elite Camp. On this level he has a power forward type build but attacks the basket like a wing player. The Kentucky stud was a Top 20 All Star participant at the Hoop Group event

7. Tyree Robinson Forward (San Diego, CA)- Robinson caught my eye in Virginia with his athleticism and pure smoothness at the wing spot. He’s very versatile and can play good defense especially defending the passing lanes. Robinson’s game earned an invite the Top 20 All American Game.

8. Davante Anderson Guard (Columbia, SC)- I liked Anderson’s outside stroke down at the Jr. All American Camp. I made things happen from the perimeter and getting to the hole. He does have the tendency to get involved in the dirty work in the paint which is a plus. He was a also a Top 20 All American Game participant.

9. Torlorf Thomas Forward (Montgomery, AL)- Thomas was one of the top athletes at the Jr. All American Camp. He is good leaping ability and plays the game at a high pace. His skill set does need some fine tuning but he still performed well enough to make the Top 20 All American Game.

10. Kavon Stewart Guard (Paterson, NJ)- The slick lefty did damage at the point spot at the Hoop Group Jr. Elite Camp. Stewart can hurt you in several different ways. He pushes the rock with good speed and is capable of making his teammates better. He also can score the rock with an outside jumper or hitting floaters in the lane. He likes having the ball when it’s money time.
