Theodore Benn Jr. Team 7 (Lawrenceville, Ga.), Berkmar HS – 2016

Theodore Benn Jr. 100Benn is a slashing guard who uses his body very well to finish in the lane. Standing at 6-foot even, he has the skill to play either back court position effectively. The versatility that he provides in that regard allows his coaches to use him in a variety of situation. One thing we would like to see from Benn in the future is his jump shot. Although this does not appear to be a weakness, it could provide balance to his game.

Joshua Faulkner Team 3 (Grayson, Ga.), Berkmar HS – 2016

Joshua Faulkner 100We have watched Faulkner over the past year and have been impressed with his growth as a prospect. While he has to play a shooting guard position at times, he showed that he has point guard skills at the Top 40 camp. His ability to power past defenders with a quick first step and finish in traffic turned heads. We expect to see Faulkner develop into one of the better guards in the area next season.

Aleem Ford Team 8 (Grayson, Ga.), Archer HS – 2015

Aleem Ford 100Ford is a unique talent standing as 6-7 forward. He has the ball skill and the range to be a face-up perimeter player. However, he can affect the game with length by deflecting shots and rebounding in the paint. The challenge for Ford is finding a balance in these two skill sets. Also adding strength and explosiveness at the next level will help him impact the game consistently.
