Prep Hoops Finale: My Top Saturday Players

<p>Here at the Prep Hoops Finale, there has been no shortage of talent. From 15U to 17U there have been plenty of buzzer beaters, huge shots, and monster dunks. I've been extremely impressed with all the talent, but from the games I got to watch, here's who was the best on Saturday:</p> <p><strong>Sean Pedulla 2021 Buddy Buckets:</strong> Pedulla has such a smooth game. His jumper was falling on Saturday too as he hit at least three threes in game one. He even drove baseline and almost threw one down. He's a very solid defender too and loves to push the pace. Pedulla is looking more and more scary and was able to put all of his talents on display today.</p> <p><strong>Marcus Williams 2020 Team Harden:</strong> Williams led Team Harden today with his passing and his athleticism. He threw down a couple of monster dunks and had the gym getting pretty loud. His vision was on full display as he threw some ridiculous passes and always found the open man. Williams also has a smooth jumper with effortless release and was a threat to score every time he touched the ball.</p> <p><strong>Jaden Wells 2020 Playmakerz:</strong> Wells single-handedly kept the Playmakerz in the game. At one point in the second half, he went on a 9-0 run all by himself hitting back-to-back-to-back threes. He wasn't all offense either, as he was a lock down defender one-on-one. You could tell how smart of a player he is and how he has a great feel for the game. When the other team caught on to his shotmaking ability, he turned into a distributer and handled the ball, and pressure, very well.</p> <p><strong>Sean Franklin Buddy Buckets 2021:</strong> Another Buddy Buckets guy who's talent was on full display was Sean Franklin. He was a monster on the offensive glass today. He had the first eight points for his team and kept going from there. Franklin finishes well through contact and has an undeniable motor. Every loose ball is his, and he gets a lot of clean-up points. He's an energy guy and a star all in one.</p> <p><strong>Trey Miller Team Harden 2022: </strong>The youngest player on my list played like one of the oldest. Miller is calm on the court and plays under control. He has a great hesitation move and is a solid finisher. Miller has ideal size for a point guard and utilizes it well. He has a nice shooting stroke and can create his own shot. He has the potential to be a pretty special player.</p> <p><strong>MJ Warrior 2020 BTR: </strong>Warrior is FAST. His first step is so quick he can get to the rim to score at will.This kid is a straight up winner and his great aspects to his game. He's a good defender, a solid scorer, and an overall leader. Warrior makes his team better when he steps on the court.</p> <p>Come check out all these talented guys tomorrow as the try to lead their teams to a championship.</p>
