Camp is not camp without some rookie trying to steal the spotlight. Memphis brought in some new blood, and these young dudes were hungry today. You could see it in the way they attacked every drill. No fear, just hoop.
Everybody wants to know who is going to pop first. Will it be the guard pushing the pace, or the big trying to bang with Jaren? Does not matter. They are all fighting for shine. What stood out to me was the energy. No deer in headlights, no looking scared. Just “I am here too, do not forget my name.”
That is the kind of hunger you need in Memphis. The stars are set, but it is the role players and rookies that keep the engine running. One of these young cats is going to be a fan favorite by Christmas.
