Slated to play with Team Griffin 17U, Johnson has a great opportunity to prove his value, not only on the court but with the way he carries himself and how his demeanor affects his teammates. He is very unselfish and puts teammates first, something any college coach looks for.</span></p> <p><strong><em><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="745366" first="Landry" last="Harris"] - OK Power - 5’11 - PG - 2021</span></em></strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Harris is a quick, teammate first oriented player who will give you 110% every time he steps out onto the court.

Having the ability to finish with strength or finesse around the rim makes him a unique player. Perry is also a very good rebounding guard, always willing to attack the glass and push the ball in transition, leading to easy points around the rim.</span></p> <p><strong><em><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="745355" first="Sean" last="Pedulla"] - Buddy Buckets - 6’1 - PG - 2021</span></em></strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Pedulla is the heart and soul of the Buddy Buckets 17U squad. With the ability to <strong>really</strong> knock it down from deep, make smart passes in tight situations, and be a vocal leader as well as leading by example, Pedulla will give you everything he has, every single time down the court. Praised by his coaches as being extremely coachable and a great listener, Pedulla’s game will shine this summer under the AAU lights.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><em>BONUS SENIOR: </em></span></strong><strong><em><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="931228" first="Trae" last="Washington"] - 2020  - Oklahoma Hustle </span></em></strong></p> <p>Though having no more time to compete in AAU, Washington could be the biggest steal of the 2020 class.
