Summer Finale – Tx Top 100 & All-N-One Varsity Showdown

<p>With the school season looming and rapidly approaching, Texas Boys Basketball and All-N-One Sports collaborated for a great day a hoops to end the AAU / Fall Ball season. The day started with the All-N-One Sports Varsity Showdown, in which high school varsity teams were able to play other schools (without their high school coaches) to fine tune some things before the season and work on their chemistry. That was immediately followed by the Texas Boy's Basketball's Texas Top 100 Camp, where players were measured, weighed, had their verticals reported, ran drills and then played several games. It was a long day, but a good day as some players separated themselves from the pack and others showed how much they were able to progress during the down period. Here are some players that stood out.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Dylan Mackey</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>6’0 PG | Aldine Davis HS | 2021</strong></p> <p>[embed]https://youtu.be/cDkShSLXT6Q[/embed]</p> <p>Dylan was one of the funnest players to watch at the Varsity Showdown. A really crafty point guard, Dylan used his incredible body control to get inside the lane and to his spots on the perimeter. He showed that he has developed and consistent jumper. Regardless of whether it was a mid range jumper or a three pointer, Dylan was able to knock down shots. And although his jumper was working for him, he only took them when he was open. And even then, he did not settle often, he stayed in attack mode, kept the pressure on the defense and was able to manipulate his body to get clean looks in the paint. He was a pest defensively, using his active hands to create turnovers in man-to-man situations as well as in the passing lanes. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Franklin Sampson</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>6’0 Combo Guard | Cy Ranch HS | 2021</strong></p> <p>[embed]https://youtu.be/K0nsMhNONjE[/embed]</p> <p>Franklin was one of the best players in the gym all day as he was consistent and relentless. He was able to use his athleticism to his advantage by getting to the rim, and in many cases, finishing above the rim. He exceeded in the open court, which is normal, but it was relieving to see him constantly be effective in half court sets (or lack thereof...lol...it’s a camp folks). He was able to find open teammates and create for himself off the dribble. Overall a great day for Franklin at the Tx Top 100 Camp and he definitely opened some eyes and garnished some much needed exposure.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1052161" first="Chanse" last="Perkins"]</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>6’5 W/F | The Woodlands Christian Academy | 2022</strong></p> <p>[embed]https://youtu.be/xM881vwF230[/embed]</p> <p>Chanse was probably, overall, the most complete player at the Tx Top 100 Camp. He was able to use the entire floor on offense and although he did not shoot many threes, he was able to prove that he is a treat on all three levels. Chanse was constantly in motion, being extremely active on every possession. This contributed to his rebounding totals as well as being a high level defender throughout the day. He was also able to use his length and defend the perimeter effectively as well as altering shots near the rim. Super versatile player that does not need to have plays ran for him to be productive.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1052160" first="Dubem" last="Muoneke"]</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>6’4 F/G | Cy Ranch HS | 2022</strong></p> <p>[embed]https://youtu.be/RHw8FDGQvr0[/embed]</p> <p>Dubem continues to evolve as a player. Athleticism and finishing at the rim has never been a question for him so seeing him utilize his perimeter game and allowing that to compliment what he can do inside was refreshing. Still, a human rebounding machine, Dubem was able to crash the boards and spark the fast break on numerous occasions. He runs the floor extremely well and as previously mentioned, can absolutely finish with authority. Defensively, he was comfortable guarding multiple positions and had a lot of success in a man to man situations. But lets not kid ourselves, his explosiveness and athleticism is what sticks out the most.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><u>[player_tooltip player_id="889568" first="Terrance" last="Arceneaux"]</u></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>6’6 G | Beaumont United HS | 2022</strong></p> <p>[embed]https://youtu.be/qxWmu-rqTrk[/embed]</p> <p>Do not let the smooth game fool you, Arceneaux is an assassin on the basketball court. And perhaps the only reason Terrance did not stand out as much as some other prospects is, it just looks like things are too easy for him. Super, Super talented young man that seemingly do not have to exert much energy or effort to be the best player on the court. He is just so smooth. He floats down the floor, his movements are flush, he gets wherever he wants on the court and can score from any area on the court. Extremely long and athletic, Terrance is a vertical threat near the rim, he has the ability to defend the perimeter and block shot inside. And in an era where position-less basketball is at the forefront, a 6’6 guard like Arceneaux is a no brainer as he can legitimately play four positions effectively.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="887089" first="Trevor" last="Passmore"]</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>6’3 Combo Guard | Cy Woods HS | 2021</strong></p> <p>[embed]https://youtu.be/lTVP9IUKM0k[/embed]</p> <p>What stood out the most about Trevor was his attitude the entire day. He absolutely possesses a no-quit attitude and he plays hard until the final buzzer. And he does not only expect this type of play from himself, he expects and demands it from everyone on his team as well. He was a great communicator on the floor and was also efficient, offensively, on all three levels and in every situation. Trevor had the three point shot working for him, which was available to him because he started the day being extra aggressive. He was getting into the teeth of the defense and either scored or kicked it out to an open teammate. His ability to rebound is interesting to watch as he is accustomed to battling the bigs and coming out of there with an extra possession for his team. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="958615" first="Sean" last="Elkinton"]</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>6’7 F | Crosby HS | 2022</strong></p> <p>[embed]https://youtu.be/kdUe09ooE7o[/embed]</p> <p>I am not sure if anyone keeps tabs on which players are best at certain things on the floor, but if there is a "Put Back King" in Houston, Sean has to be one of the nominees. During the Summer Finale, Sean showed his ability to understand angles, as well as his ability to track the ball when it comes off the rim. His size and his length did the rest of the work as he was able to get multiple offensive rebounds and put backs. He also showed the ability to step outside and be a consistent shooting threat from the perimeter. In addition, Sean was able to use his length to look over defenders and make some pinpoint passes.</p>
