Despite being quickly implemented into the roster from another British team, Cameron transitioned very smoothly and finished as one of the breakout performers in Kaunas. Lead-guard, fluid with the ball, has a nose for defensive rebounds, after grabbing the ball was often taking it aggressively downhill and delivering points on the other side. In half-court doesn’t have the fastest first step but is able to take defenders off balance with a nice array of hesitations and convincing pump fakes to get inside and distribute after drawing the attention of the defense. Generally unselfish and doesn’t have trouble finding his teammates but could be sharing the ball a little bit more in transition offense. On drives all the way learned how to bounce off opponents away from the basket, keep composure and finish off the glass to avoid a contest. Half of his attempts came from behind the arc where he showed a lot of confidence, moved well off ball to get to a position, didn’t hesitate given room, showed pretty good range and was making important shots. Even when tightly guarded was able to create space in isolation by using step backs and fadeaways when closer to the basket.

Defensively was making small mistakes like going under screens on shooters, from time to time focusing too much on the ball instead of his man as well as biting on fakes but showed generally good instincts when helping from the weak side, great feel for steals slashing through passing lanes and was vocal well communicating with his teammates.

Led the tournament in four statistical categories – points, steals, field goals made, fouls drawn and managed to make a lot of noise with a whole Barking crew and put London on the basketball map for the years to come.

Recap: Hoopsfix All-Star Classic
Cameron Hildreath 2002, 6’4’’, G, Sussex Storm (19pts, 6reb, 1ast, 2to, 3stl)

Alongside Veron was the top scorer in the contest finishing with 19pts. Took him a while to find a rhythm but eventually stepped up in the fourth quarter showing nice range and confidence with his 3 point shots in opponents face. Managed to find gaps in the defence nicely with his tight and fast dribble but had some trouble fully separating from his opponents on the drives and was forced to take a couple of awkward shots. Was in tunnel vision at times, not seeing wide open teammates after collapse of the defense and taking some risky decisions with his passes.
