LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – The Elite Basketball Academy Super 64 Camp brought 30 of the region’s top prospects to Central Gwinnett High School looking to grow their games before the July evaluation period. Held on a weekend where most high school prospects are off from their school team functions, Super 64 Camp provides a hyper competitive yet controlled environment for prospects to sharpen their skills.

Richey of Alpharetta, Ga., made an immediate impact on day one of the EBA Super 64 Camp. Richey has a strong skill set out on the perimeter, but plays with a sense of calmness and control on the court. He is a savvy guard with the ability to pull up in transition or get to the rim for a bucket. When is has a smaller defender playing him, he is comfortable in the lane and also has a quick release when rising up for a jumper.

Orr, a rising junior forward out of Homer, Ga., provided some high-flying entertainment in the skill break down session. Orr showcased his vertical and explosiveness off the screen for a couple of power dunks throughout the day. He plays well out of the pick-and-roll as he can dive for a drop off in the lane, or pick and pop for a midrange jumper.
Isaiah Lewis | 6’4” | Lanier | Class of 2018

Lewis of Sugar Hill, Ga., played well during the transition series in the afternoon session. The class of 2018 wing has good length and a nice midrange game. Lewis has strong hands when operating in traffic through the lane and a soft touch at the rim. He also made some great reads on defense as well.
Kahmal Wiley | 6’4” | Banks County | Class of 2017
'17 Kahmal Wiley (GA) is a problem around the rim. He's in Sat/Sun.

Wiley of Homer, Ga., proved himself as one of the top performing post players of day one. Wiley like to mix it up in the lane and uses his size and strength to his advantage. He is capable of facing up for a midrange jumper, but also has the footwork and touch in the lane.
AROUND THE RIM
Keep an eye on class of 2019 forward Logan Ortiz of Riverview, Fla. At 6-foot-6, he has the physical aptitude to be a high level player for the Tampa Titans club over the next three summers.
Class of 2016 guard Anterion Hicks of Grayson, Ga., is an available late prospect. Our previous evaluations of Hicks indicated that his calling card is that as a hard worker on both ends and his play here backed that up.
Class of 2020 guard Lawrence Pierre of Denham Springs, La., had the crisp game to match his fresh haircut. Pierre, who earned the nickname Odell Beckham, has the speed and quickness to make plays in the open floor.
