"It was pretty special," Cam Scott talks South Carolina head coach Lamont Paris

Cam Scott is the No. 22 player in the 2024 On3 150. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard is also one of the featured players in the 2022 Chick Fil A Classic. On opening night, Scott played in front of a sold-out, standing-room-only crowd against five-star twins Cameron Boozer and Cayden Boozer.

While the first game did not go as planned, Scott bounced back on day two with a 19-point, 7-rebound, 2-assist game at 9:00 AM. A familiar face at both games was South Carolina head coach Lamont Paris.

“For him to come to watch me play at 9:00 PM and then turn around to be back watching 12 hours later was pretty special,” Scott said. “I think he was one of the only coaches here.”

Scott, the junior at Lexington (SC) High, has taken three official visits, Auburn, Texas, and South Carolina. Paris has been able to develop a relationship with the four-star, whose high school is just 15 minutes away from campus.

“Our relationship is very good,” Scott said. “We talk weekly.”

Cam Scott was named 5A All-State last season after averaging 21.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.5 steals per game as a sophomore. This is his second time earning the award the honor, as he was also first-team All-State as an eighth grader.

The four-star was the leading scorer for one of the best 16u teams – Team United – on the Nike EYBL Circuit this summer, averaging 11.8 points and shooting 50.7 percent from the field in 15.4 minutes played. 

Scott also led the NBPA Top 100 Camp in three-point shooting in June, knocking down 50 percent of his shots and winning a camp championship.
