Magic Memorial Day Tournament – 2020 standouts

<p>For players, programs and media alike, the Compton Magic Memorial Day tournament has become a rite of passage.</p> <p>The final tournament of the spring grassroots season brings a number of the top Adidas programs on the West Coast, as well as many of the best non-sponsored programs, to Orange Lutheran and surrounding gyms for the grueling, four-day affair. </p> <p>And with so much basketball, there's a lot of reporting to do.</p> <p>I'm going to start with my standouts in the 2020 class.</p> <h2>Magic Memorial Day Tournament - 2020 standouts</h2> <h3>Evan Mobley, 7-0 PF, Compton Magic</h3> <p>Mobley gave everyone in attendance a firm reminder of why he is the consensus No. 1 prospect in his class. The game comes easy to him on both ends. Mobley is an elite rim protector and rebounder on defense, and on offense his versatility makes him an impossible matchup. </p> <h3>Dalen Terry, 6-6 G, Compton Magic</h3> <p>The wiry combo guard outplayed his Hillcrest Prep teammate Kyree Walker in their Battle Cup matchup. Terry's length and lateral quickness make him an impressive on ball defender. Offensively, he has improved his shooting, he is a very good passer in the half court. </p> <h3>Jalin Anderson, 6-3 G, Team Harden (AZ)</h3> <p>No 2020 guard on hand did more to boost his stock in my eyes than Anderson. The scoring point guard carved teams up from all three levels. He has flawless mechanics shooting off the catch, and is a dynamic scorer off the bounce. Additionally, he is a very underrated passer, who can operate out of the pick and roll. Finally, he plays with a competitive fire that few can match.</p> <h3>Baboucar Coulibaly, 6-10 C, Dream Vision Next</h3> <p>One of several 2020 prospects on the largely 2021 group, Coulibaly anchored the team's run to the Battlezone finale. Coulibaly possesses elite shot blocking instincts and a motor that runs hot. Offensively, he is still very raw, but from a defensive perspective, he changes the game due to his length, timing and activity.</p> <h3>Austin Cook, 6-5 SG, BTI Select </h3> <p>Cook was on fire for most of the weekend, scoring it prolifically off the catch and off the one-to-two dribble drive. Cook played a lot of point for his team this weekend, with solid results, as it allowed him to impact the game with his high IQ and court vision. He is improving defensively, where his lack of lateral quickness sometimes hurts him, but he makes up for it with A1 effort. </p> <h3>Donovan Yap, 6-4 G, Team Vegas/ Uneek Ballers </h3> <p>Yap is a polarizing prospect, as he can sometimes get loose with the ball and lacks strength at this stage as a prospect. But the kid can score it with the best of him. He hit seven threes in a losing effort to BTI in the quarterfinals, and scored in flurries with an array of runners and floaters. He approaches the game a lot like a poor man's Jamal Crawford. There's always room for a scorer like that at the next level.</p>
