2019-2020 Houston Area Watch List – Class of 2020 pt. 1

<p>Throughout the summer and fall players have been training, practicing and playing, all in an effort to put forth a great school season. And now they have the opportunity to put all of their hard work on display. As we embark on the beginning of the 2019-2020 basketball season, let’s take a look at the first 10 unsigned seniors that I will keep a close eye on (in no particular order). Get EXCITED! It’s that time of year again!!</p> <ol> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Elijah Elliott – 6’0 PG – Yates High School </strong></span></li> </ol> <p>[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/11/Elijah_Elliott.mp4"][/video]</p> <p>Elijah is a high IQ point guard that can beat opposing teams in a myriad of ways. He is a three level scorer with great lateral movement and quick hands on defense. Moreover, Elliot is a tremendous leader which may be his most overlooked asset as a player.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ol start="2"> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Roland McDougal – 6’4 Guard – Legacy School of Sports Science<br /> <br /> </strong></span></li> </ol> <p>[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/11/Roland_McDougal.mp4"][/video]</p> <p>Being a long, wiry and athletic guard, McDougal can surprise you with some of the plays he can make at the rim. He has apparently worked on his jumper over the summer because he has been more efficient from deep which makes him tough to defend.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ol start="3"> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Danny McAdory – 6’5 Wing – Fort Bend Bush High School</strong></span></li> </ol> <p>[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/11/Danny_McAdory-1.mp4"][/video]</p> <p>McAdory is in the running for “Most Athletic” in the class of 2020. He has a nice turn around mid-range game to compliment his high flying attack. Add that with the length and the strength to defend multiple positions, and you have yourself a solid prospect.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ol start="4"> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Nate Lacewell - 6’7 Forward – Legacy School of Sports Science</strong></span></li> </ol> <p>[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/11/Nate_Lacewell.mp4"][/video]</p> <p>Lacewell has always been an interesting watch for me. He is extremely long and at this level, his height has him playing the post by default. But the coaching staff at Legacy does a solid job of opening the floor and allowing his to display his strong, guard skill set.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ol start="5"> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Davon Wright – 6’5 Guard – Cy Springs High School</strong></span></li> </ol> <p>[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/11/Davon-Wright-Cy-Springs-2020.mp4"][/video]</p> <p>As the young people say, Davon “is a bucket.” He is a three level scorer that causes mismatch problems for opposing teams because of his size. In addition, he is a capable defender and is above average athletically. I would not be surprised to see him average 20+ points this year.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ol start="6"> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Daylan Hamilton – 6’3 Guard – Klein Forest High School</strong></span></li> </ol> <p>[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/11/Daylan-Hamilton-Klein-Forest-2020.mp4"][/video]</p> <p>Fresh off a state title run from last year, Hamilton comes into this season as the unquestioned go-to guy for Klein Forest. He has a nice build for an off the ball guard and can really shoot the deep ball efficiently. Additionally, defensively he can guard multiple positions.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ol start="7"> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Jordan Ivy Curry – 6’1 PG – LaMarque High School</strong></span></li> </ol> <p>[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/07/Jordan-Ivy-Curry-PH.mp4"][/video]</p> <p>Ivy-Curry can score any which way that you want him to. He has a knack for always remaining on balance which allows him to strike from multiple angles. Athletically, he has the ability to dunk in traffic and his ball handling skills ties everything together.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ol start="8"> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Antwon Norman – 6’0 PG – Yates High School</strong></span></li> </ol> <p>[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/10/Antwon-Norman.mp4"][/video]</p> <p>Antwon plays like a seasoned pro. He is always poised and level-headed; he minimizes mistakes and has a high IQ on both ends of the floor. Also, he can score the ball at an efficient rate. His offensive game often overshadows his defensive game where he creates a lot of turnovers.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ol start="9"> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Justin Hill – 6’0 PG –Fort Bend Travis High School</strong></span></li> </ol> <p>[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/10/Justin-Hill.mp4"][/video]</p> <p>Although Hill is not to tallest point guard ever, he still possesses a body frame that can play on any level. He dictates the pace of the game well and uses his body well to create advantageous scoring opportunities. In addition, he is athletic and has great vision.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ol start="10"> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Blessings Adesipe – 6’5 Forward – Alief Taylor High School</strong></span></li> </ol> <p>[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/11/Blessing_Adesipe.mp4"][/video]</p> <p>Adesipe is a stretch four that will most likely transition into being a full time wing. He has a soft touch from the perimeter but is more effective when he attacks the paint. Defensively, he plays excellent help defense and protects the rim at all costs.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
