More skills camp, this time from BT Powerhouse:
Easily the highest prospect on Chambers list of the 2016 triumvirate that came to Happy Valley, Joe Hampton (pictured, right) displayed why he is regarded as, at the minimum, a Top-70 talent Ranked No. 69 in the 247 Composite, but No. 38 on the Top247 list.
As he is wont to do, Hampton devoured the boards and did some heavy lifting downlow. Despite being undersized as a 4, Hampton is an excellent low post player, and his nose for the ball on the glass was apparent. Hampton has been to PSU a few times, but also holds offers from DePaul and Xavier, with Maryland reportedly beginning to draw a lot of attention from the 6’6″ forward.
A.J. Wilson is an altogether different 6’6″ forward. His athleticism is elite and his jumper is anything but. Penn State offered Wilson a scholarship back in December, and this was his first time back on campus since November (Pennsylvania is considerably more inviting in June than November, a plus for Chambers.) Wilson dazzled with his high-flying activities, and showed an improved if still inconsistent offensive game. PSU remains Wilson’s only scholarship offer.
The last of the 2016 trio measures in just a bit shorter than the 6’6″ his possible future teammates stand. That would be the diminutive Alani Moore of DeMatha Catholic (Md.). According to 247Sports, “The 5-foot-9 floor general held court for two days – finding teammates with inventive passes, knocking down shots from beyond the arc, and getting to the rim off the bounce.” Moore only has an offer from PSU on the table, as most teams are still a bit wary of his stature. However, he has two more years to grow and if he can add another three or four inches this kid is going to shoot way up the rankings and onto every East Coast scout’s radar.
