End Of Summer Showcase: Day 1 Standouts

<p>The end of Summer Showcase started up this weekend in Gilbert, Arizona. Hosted by recruiting legend Gerry Freitas the event features some of the top talent on the west coast. In this article, PH takes a look at the Day 1 standouts. </p> <p>Wayne McKinney <em>6’0 PG Coastal Elite 2021 (#22PHN 2022)</em> - Great frame, terrific R&amp;J athlete with explosion. San Diego is getting a steal with McKinney.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="963954" first="Yaru" last="Harvey"] <em>6’3 SG Nor Cal Ducks 2021</em> - Harvey slashed and drove his way to the bucket all day. When opponents laid off he calmly sank 3’s. Good looking prospect with an advanced offensive skill set.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="766841" first="Jordan" last="Pope"] <em>6’1 PG Team Arsenal 2022 (#3PHNC 2022)</em> <em>(featured image)</em> - I was critical of Pope last week. Today he left no doubt as to why he is one of the top guards on the west coast. Got to the rim with ease and displayed a high level layup package.</p> <p>Richard Issacs <em>6’2 PG Vegas Elite 2022 (#1PHU 2022)</em> - The #1 player in Utah was dominant on the day. His ability to create space off the bounce and then drill the 3 is unique. His vision and passing makes him special.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="775753" first="Nigel" last="Burris"] <em>6’7 SF Team Arsenal 2021 (#20PHNC 2021)</em> - Burris was extremely efficient on the day. Showed terrific ability to get to the rim and knock down jumpers.</p> <p>Malik Thomas <em>6’3 SG Team Buildup 2021 (#6PHSC 2021)</em> - The USC Commit made it look easy. A sharpshooter with range, Thomas knocked down 3’s in catch and shoots and off the bounce.</p> <p>Tavionte Jackson <em>6’1 PG Hard 2 Guard 2022 (#5PHN 2022)</em> - At some point in time the left coast is going to have to wake up and recognize this guy. One of the sickest handles in the business, Jackson put defenders in a bind all day with his ability to shoot it with range, or blow by when defenders got to close.</p> <p>Tyson Deganhart <em>6’8 SF Washington Supreme (#6PHW 2021)</em> - The talent level in Washington is so ridiculous that there are 5 players considered better than Deganhart in the state of Washington. He certainly closed the gap, the 6’8 wing was efficient scoring in a variety of ways on the day.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="611188" first="Jackson" last="Grant"] <em>6’9 PF Washington Supreme (#3PHW 2021)</em> - Grant is one of those players ranked ahead of Deganhart. The 6’9 forward loves to step out and stretch the floor. He showed a good touch on the offensive end, and the willingness to protect the basket on the defensive side of the ball.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/7outzbballclub1">Follow Prep Hoops Nevada</a></p>
