Court U Camp Standouts

Darius Parham, Jake Nowak, Myles Coleman, Zakai Alexander, Tyler Kindberg & Garnison Budd

On Monday, we spent some time checking out the action at the Court U Camp at Ohio State.  In addition to guest speakers and skills and drills, the roughly 30 high school players in attendance also played a series of 5-on-5 games. The best player we saw was Darius Parham (6’1”/WF/2021/Bishop Reedy), who excelled at attacking the cup and finishing.  Parham also has good length, is athletic and handles the ball well.  In addition, Parham can create his own shot and was very active on both ends of the court.  We also really liked Jake Nowak (5’8/PG/2019/Worthington Christian), who was the consummate floor general who also showed great court vision and a willingness to create plays for his teammates.  Nowak also displayed solid ball skills.

Zakai Alexander (6’3”/WF/2021/Pickerington Central) impressed us as well with his size and skill set.  Alexander is powerful, aggressive to the cup and possess strong frame.  In addition, Alexander handles the rock well for his size and showed the ability it hit the pull up jump shot. Myles Coleman (5’11”/PG/2019/Centennial) was another good one, and showed excellent ball skills and the ability to beat his defender off the bounce and get to the rack.  We also loved his drive and dish game. One of the best shooters at the camp was Garrison Budd (5’11”/PG/2021/Bishop Reedy), and he proved that  by winning the 3-point shooting contest with ease.  As the morning went on, Budd showed he was more than a shooter as he got to the rim on several occasions.  Other standouts included Tyler Lindberg (6’3”/WF/2021/Worthington Christian).  

From what we saw, Chris Joseph’s the 3-day Court U Camp is a must attend event for talented central Ohio high school players.  The event offers a great message, great skill development and great Competition.  We would like to thank Chris and Kelly Joseph for inviting us to speak and for offering central Ohio kids such a great opportunity to learn and develop!
