Shows flashes of shot creation ability and has room to continue developing this part of his game.
When shooting from 3 he looks most comfortable as a catch and shoot option.
Continued shooting development could significantly improve his overall offensive versatility.
High release point on his jumper.
Transition Offense
Quick in the open floor and highly effective as a transition scorer.
Long strides allow him to cover ground quickly once he gets downhill.
Athleticism and burst make him a constant threat to finish at the rim in transition.
Plays well off two feet and maintains good balance when finishing around the basket.

Length and wingspan allow him to disrupt passing lanes and create deflections.
Chase down block threat with the athleticism and mobility to recover after being beaten.
Has the tools to guard positions 1–3 and potentially some 4s depending on matchup.
Communicates well defensively.
Plays with a consistently good motor and brings energy on the defensive end.
Weakness
Strength & Physicality
Can be knocked off his spot when attacking the basket.
Needs to continue developing his upper body strength to better absorb contact and maintain his driving lines.
Added strength should help him finish through physical defenders and create more consistent advantages.
Shooting Consistency
Three point shot remains inconsistent despite showing improvement.
Needs to continue developing consistency from beyond the arc to become a more reliable floor spacer as well as secondary creator.
Continued improvement as a shooter will be important to maximizing his offensive role.
Playmaking & Decision Making
Playmaking feel remains a developmental area.
Can make simple reads but is not always consistent recognizing or executing them.
Can develop tunnel vision when attacking and occasionally drives into space that is not available.
Needs to improve his ability to recognize where the help defenders are and make reactive passing decisions.
Would benefit from becoming more comfortable creating opportunities for teammates when his own driving lane is taken away.
Was placed into a guard role to fill in the gaps due to injury and showed signs of playmaking upside but still needs significant improvement
Defensive Discipline
Active and aggressive defender but can occasionally become overaggressive pursuing blocks.
Will sometimes get caught in the air when attempting to make plays at the rim.
Can fall for pump fakes, leading to unnecessary fouls or defensive breakdowns.
Needs to balance his natural shot blocking instincts with greater discipline and positional awareness.
Rebounding
Could be more aggressive pursuing rebounds.
Has the length and athleticism to contribute more consistently on the glass.
Needs to show greater pursuit and physicality when competing for rebounds, particularly against bigger players.
Extra Notes
Projects primarily as a shooting guard but has the physical tools to see minutes at small forward.
Length, wingspan, lateral mobility, and athleticism give him the potential to defend multiple positions.
Could potentially handle some forward matchups depending on strength development and lineup context. It appeared that UNC Asheville were happy for Kameron to switch onto before forwards and guards
UNC Asheville occasionally run a 1-2-2 full court zone Defensive with Kameron apart of the middle 2
Works best when driving from the right
Shades of Shaedon Sharpe
Asheville like to have Kameron come of different curl route to get him speed to attack the rim
Two way potential
Occasionally UNC Asheville will run a 2-3 zone in which Kameron will be in the right of left of the 3 or 2 portions of the zone
Likes to crossover to his right side and then attack
