The longhorn state showed out at the Grind Regional Final in Kansas. A few players I run through below!
Notes:
• Auston Chatman (6’5” / WG 2020 / D1 Houston): Chatman is a shifty player that can put the ball on a string. Scored it from all over, including a nice pull up shot. Versatile defender, can check a forward or point guard, it doesn’t matter. Athletic, can rise up.
• Jacoby Brown (6’2” / G 2020 / D1 Houston): Brown is a quick ball handler that keeps the defender guessing which way he’s going to go. A blur through the lane where he finishes off the glass. Also, has in his bag the ability to play on or off ball. Capable shooter from distance, too.
• Kingsley Ijeoma (6’7” / F 2020 / Texas Takeover Elite-Ned): The best defender I watched Saturday, easily. A shot blocker that hustles back on defense, and protects the rim at all costs. Isn’t scared to take the chance of getting slammed on, by swatting a would be dunk. Grabs second chance buckets underneath, with a smooth putback. Physical player that can body up anyone, solid athlete.
• Phillip Ross Jr. (6’2” / WG 2020 / Dallas Showtyme White): Ross has good length, and created open looks by running off screens. Multiple level scorer with a nice touch in the lane. Court vision is a plus, too. Grabbed rebounds, secured second chances and created for teammates.
• Sean Calloway (6’2” / G 2022 / Dallas Showtyme Elite): Sean Calloway is a physical guard that could play some three as well. Can guard a couple different positions. Gets to the hoop by simply out muscling his opponents. Can shoot it from deep, also a two way player. Turns it up defense, high motor at times.
