Isaiah Philmore

One of the premier camps in the country came to a conclusion on Thursday evening in Philadelphia.  CAA Insider was on hand to take in the Championship Game and All Star Game of the Reebok All American Game.  Here is a look at some of the players.

Isaiah Philmore (2009, 6-7 210 SF/PF)
We caught the end of the championship game. In that game, this lanky wing had a nice drive and finish play and hit a pair of free throws. It was his play in the All Star Game that stood out though. Isaiah is a good jump shooter who hit on a couple shots, including a three pointer. He's pretty athletic to as he showed on a dunk. He attacked off the dribble too. Isaiah had a nice drive and reverse finish, as well as a left handed finish. He can battle inside a little. Isaiah grabbed several rebounds too during this nice showing. 

Carl Baptiste (2009, 6-8 PF) committed to St. Joe's
Carl made a couple plays. The big man showed he can step outside a little as he hit on a 12 foot jumper. He pulled down a couple boards and blocked a shot too. Carl did miss a couple other jumpers though, including a three pointer and a tough fall away shot. We did like to see him dive on the floor for a loose ball.  He does need to move better laterally on the defensive.  Carl certainly didn't blow anyone away in this camp, but he didn't look out of place when we saw him either.

Raphaiel Putney (2009, 6-9 PF)
This lanky forward who was a relative unknown until recently, played his way into the camp and performed well enough to make the All Star Game. Raphaiel made a couple athletic plays in that game. He had a pair of high flying throw downs. He also grabbed a few rebounds. He missed on a three pointer. He does move well and looks to have some wing skills, but he badly needs to add weight.

Thomas Robinson (2009, 6-7 PF)
Thomas started the spring with very little fanfare, but several months later, he left this camp among the best players in the country. He just continues to play better and better. In the All Star Game, he was actually quiet. Thomas made a couple hustle plays. He had a lay-in inside and he grabbed a rebound and threw a nice long outlet pass. His aggressive play actually hurt him as he picked up several fouls.

Darren White (2009, 6-4 SG)
Darren is a smooth perimeter shooter. He hit on a pull up mid range jumper. He has a quick release on his shot. Darren did miss on a three pointer in one of his few other attempts.

Sam Dower (2009, 6-9 PF/C)
We only caught the end of the championship game. During that time, the lefty showed his good touch on the inside with a bank shot  after a nice feed from a teammate. Sam grabbed a few boards too.
