BigShots Myrtle Beach Live: Biggest Takeaways, Part 2

<p>BigShots had a ton of talent on display this past week in Myrtle Beach. Here's a look at Part 2 of the biggest takeaways from Myrtle Beach Live. </p> <h4>BigShots Elite Georgia went 7-0 through both sessions</h4> <p>The BigShots Elite Georgia squad finished the weekend with a bang, going undefeated no matter who was put in front of them. They're one of the most well-rounded non-shoe teams and played solid throughout both live sessions. </p> <p>They won their games by an average of 16.3 points. Their closest victory came by nine points against a gritty BigShots Elite West Virginia squad<strong>. Brandon Stroud</strong> is the tone-setter, <strong>Kirshon Thrash</strong> is the board man that will make a college coach very happy, <strong>Chris Youngblood</strong> is set to make Kennesaw State a solid mid-major program, <strong>Raesean Frederick</strong> does the dirty work and <strong>Roman Son</strong> and <strong>Benjamin Raspberry</strong> fill whatever role is needed on either end. </p> <h4>Greensboro Warriors and New Light Disciples have some talent</h4> <p>The Greensboro Warriors made noise with 2020 forwards <strong>Ahmil Flowers, Zach Murphy</strong> and<strong> Jordan Williams</strong>. Flowers is a 6-foot-5 forward that can create his own on the perimeter and on the block. He made a number of tough buckets throughout the weekend. Murphy exploded for 19 points with five 3-pointers against BigShots Elite West Virginia and showed he belongs in the conversation for some Division 1 looks. 6-foot-5 Williams put on a solid showing as the weekend progressed as well. He finished with 21 points on two made 3-pointers and five made free throws in his best game of the weekend. </p> <p>The New Light Disciples have<strong> 2021 Jamarii Thomas, 2020 Kuluel Mading</strong> and <strong>2020</strong> <strong>Trent Mcintyre </strong>in their wheelhouse. Thomas is coming off an ACL tear but still has his explosive burst with the ball. He's a pure point guard that looks to pass first and get his teammates involved. Mcintyre showed off in their opening game with 22 points on four made 3-pointers and earned his first offer from UVA-Wise this past weekend. Mading is a 6-foot-9 prospect that's a problem in the paint with the ball in his hands and is a prime rim-protector. He earned an offer from UNC Greensboro after having a big weekend. </p> <h4>The 2021 Class has a lot of prospects to keep an eye on</h4> <p><strong>Andrew Shifflett</strong> was a model of consistency for the VABA Bruins as they won the Bronze title in the 16U Orange division. He's a 6-foot guard that can score and make things happen for his teammates.<strong> Josh Morse</strong> exploded for 23 points against BigShots Elite Virginia, showing off his knack for getting to the rim and the free throw line off the dribble.</p> <p><b>Jaden Daughtry</b> showed off his ability to get to the rim and the free throw line with Virginia Havoc. He averaged 25.0 points per contest during the first session of Myrtle Beach Live. He's a 6-foot-6 prospect that can score in bunches and uses his size well to get to the rim.</p> <p>Team Xplosion's 2021 squad is full of potential studs in<strong> Hamilton Campbell, Grayson Honaker, Cade Looney</strong> and <strong>Brandon Brown</strong>. Campbell is a pure point guard that makes things happen anytime he touches the ball. Honaker can fill it up from behind the arc and create off the dribble. He finished with a total of 18 3-pointers at both live sessions. Looney is a 6-foot-7 big man with a nice touch on his jump shot and a solid passer out the post. Brown is an underrated athlete that can finish above the rim and knock down the 3.</p> <p>BigShots Elite North Carolina was another squad full of rising stars.<strong> Luke Proctor, Collin Himmelberg</strong> and <strong>Toby Harris</strong> are their sharpshooters. <strong>Manny Sepulveda</strong> is an on-ball pest on defense and playmaker on offense. Proctor sets the tone with his ability to create off the catch and off the dribble. Harris made 10 of them to the tune of 31 points in their final game against BigShots Elite Virginia. Himmelberg fills the void whenever he's needed and also is an underrated rebounder.</p> <p><strong>Austin Webb</strong> and <strong>Jaelin Johnson</strong> were two studs for BigShots Elite West Virginia. Webb is a prospect that can get to the rim whenever he wants and does well to create his own shot whenever needed. Johnson is a 6-foot-5 forward that runs the floor, rebounds and finishes above the rim. </p> <p>WCBA's <strong>Jayvon Mercer</strong> was a burden on the glass all weekend long. He led the 16U Orange division in points during the first session with 21.0 points per game and finished second during the second session with 22.3 points per contest. Point guard <strong>Chase Hakerem</strong> tied for second with 11 made 3-pointers and showed off his ability to defend and make plays. <strong>Dylan Drinkwater</strong> made shot after shot and even showed off his ability to draw fouls and get to the free throw line.</p> <p>WV Mpact's <strong>Saliou Nguer</strong> stood out with his size at 6-foot-11 as well as with his ability around the rim. When he wasn't dominating the post, he was a burden to bear on the boards. He has an offer from West Virginia Wesleyan.</p> <h4>Zee McCown has a bright future</h4> <p>One player that turned heads wasn't in the 17U division but instead in 14U with the Quinn Anvils out of Louisville, Kentucky. 2023 point guard<strong> Zee McCown</strong> showed poise as a player well beyond his years while shooting the ball from deep and running a masterful pick-and-roll with 2023 <strong>Keith Robinson</strong>. They should be fun to watch for a very long time as the year's progress.</p>
