Teenage big men sometimes just get ‘it’ overnight where the senior center looked the best he has ever looked on Saturday in New Jersey.
Just like Huffman, Carlton is another 6-foot-10 big man that is a major bruiser within the paint. While he doesn’t have much of a face-up jumper at this time, it was his unbelievable hands, touch, and rebounding prowess, that all stood out at The Weekend, a quick two day even taken place at Caldwell University.
A massive space eater but someone with improving ball skills and a back to the basket game, the Carolina native, who will suit up at DeMatha for the second straight year alongside top-50 wing DJ Harvey, had it all clicking during his three game stretch. Not only was he the best rebounder in the entire gym but he also displayed great value as a high-low frontcourt piece that is a much underrated passer of the basketball. Throw in his rim protecting services and quality motor in tracking down loose balls and it would seem that the interior producer has taken his game to the next level.
