Balfour FBISD Tournament: Day 1 Takeaways

<p>The Fort Bend ISD tournament kicked off yesterday. I was able to attend a couple of games at the Wheeler Fieldhouse in Sugar Land, TX. Here are my takeaways from the event.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Greg Crawford</span> 6'5 G / Aldine Davis / Jr.</strong><br /> Greg is a strong guard that can play with and without the ball in his hands. He has a long wingspan and is active on the defensive side of the ball. Crawford has a good motor and is a vital prospect for the Falcons. He was able to take his man off the dribble to the rim and also knocked down some tough mid-range jumpers.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Jayshon Cannon</span> 6'8 C / Aldine Davis / Sr.</strong><br /> A big that runs the floor well. He has good timing on blocking shots and is a rim protector. Finishes above the rim and also with both hands on both sides of the rim. Boxes out and gets after it on the glass. Cannon would be a great addition to an NAIA/JuCo program.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Matthew Lewis</span> 6'1 PG / Fort Bend Ridge Point / So.</strong><br /> Matthew is a skilled guard that plays north and south. Has a strong handle on the ball. He consistently scores the ball at a solid percentage at all three levels and on this day it wasn't any different. Lewis has a decent floor vision as he is able to get his teammates involved in the game as well.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Foluwaso Fashoro</span> 6'4 PF / Fort Bend Ridge Point / Sr.</strong><br /> This undersized post player is always everywhere on the court at all times. Runs the lane well and is very strong. He can play above the rim and also sets solid screens. Very active with a great motor. He cleans up on the glass and holds down the paint defensively. Solid D3/NAIA prospect.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Mekhi McIntyre</span> 6'1 G / Fort Bend Travis / Jr.</strong><br /> Mehki was able to knock down a lot of tough shots in the game from both mid-range and deep. He has a solid handle on the ball and moves great without the ball in his hands. Quick laterally to keep his opponent in front of him.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Justin Hill</span> 5'11 PG / Fort Bend Travis / Sr. <span style="font-size: 8pt;">as seen in the picture</span> <a href="https://prephoops.com/texas/rankings/2020-rankings/"><span style="color: #ff6600;">PH</span><span style="color: #ffcc00;">TX</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">200</span></a></strong><br /> Justin is one of the most dominant un-signed seniors left on the board. Hill has a super high motor. Has a solid collegiate build and is strong as a lead guard. He was able to do what he wanted on the floor at will. He is a handful and can hurt from all levels on the court. Tough on-ball defender with super quickness to hold an opponent in check. He would be a solid prospect at the D1 Low-Major/D2/JuCo level. He picked up a JuCo offer right after the game.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Edward Robinson</span> 6'2 G / LaMarque / Sr.</strong><br /> Ed was without running mate and the team leader, but he stepped up and played solid. He knocked down a lot of tightly contested trey balls and was able to finish at a high rate around the rim. Control the tempo when he had the ball in his hands. Robinson would be a solid JuCo-D2 prospect.</p>
