The Basketball Spotlight Future Phenom Camp is in the books and the talent was in the building. The players competed on the highest level and we zeroed in on a lot of the talent. Here are some of the things we learned down in Maryland.
What Did We Learn At The Future Phenom Camp?
Jaden Bradley came into the Future Phenom Camp with a lot on the line. He was ranked the #1 player in the country on our website and he was just coming off of winning an AAU National Championship. The point guard did more than handle his business at the Future Phenom Camp, he solidified himself as the #1 player in the land once again. He came, saw and conquered.
The Future Phenom Camp is the last spot we see players before we drop our national rankings. Three players from the Class Of 2022 that will be making their debut in our rankings are Jaquan Harris (New Jersey), Alex Karaban and Rory Stewart. All three players starred at the Future Phenom Camp and finished ranked in the Top 10.
#1 Player in the Class of 2023 Elijah Fisher and Mikkel Tyne of Canada both took MVP honors at the Future Phenom Camp. The Canadian invasion became popular with the emergence of Andrew Wiggins and most recently RJ Barrett. Now these two players among others seem to be holding down the future for our neighbors from the north. Fisher and Tyne should be warm with those MVP Varsity Jackets.
4th Grader Marcus Johnson has been on the National scene for a few years but was over shadowed by his older brother Sonny Johnson Jr. and cousin Meechie Johnson. But at the Future Phenom Marcus let the country know that he’s a budding star on the horizon. He played in the 5th Grade Division and totally dominated the competition while taking home the MVP honors.
The Future Phenom Camp 2017 topped over 300 campers. This numbered increased nearly 100 from 2016. We are humbled by this increase and will continue to try and bring you the best event and coverage. We also know there’s always room improvement and will be evaluating our structure and process.
