Top Shooting Star of the IWU/P-Hoops Prospect Camp

As promised, P-Hoops will be giving respect to the best of the best from the IWU/P-Hoops Prospect Camp. We'll look at standouts from several different skill areas including ball handling, post play, toughness, and athleticism. Today, however, we begin by awarding the title of "Best Shooter" of the camp.

First off, P-Hoops would be remiss without mentioning that the best shooting display of the day came from former Lafayette Central Catholic star and current IWU Wildcat Will Hubertz (pictured right guarding asst. coach Jeff Clark along with Zach Coverstone). A combo forward who starts and stars for the Wildcats, Hubertz is a match-up nightmare because he is super-athletic and bouncy, so he's able to guard the four, but his shot is so deadly that big men struggle to guard him on the perimeter. Hubertz demonstrated the shooting drill that the campers would be doing as he moved spot to spot around the three point line, nailing twenty of about twenty-four three pointers in about ninety seconds. Very impressive.

As for the campers, there were several standouts who could really pour it in from deep. This one camper, however, did not simply knock down the deep ball during drill work, he did it during 5-on-5 play. During one stretch in which P-Hoops was looking on, this local camper hit about five threes during a two game span. Very impressive. He has a quick release which makes up for his being an average athlete. He worked hard to get open and once he caught, he was in great position to fire, feet and shoulders squared up and in the shooting pocket. The Shooting Star of the IWU/P-Hoops Prospect Camp? Mississinewa senior guard Brandon Cragun.
