<p>The Chi-Town Tipoff assembled some of the best 15U teams in the region. Which players showed out amongst an elite crew?</p>
<p>First Team - <br />
[player_tooltip player_id="1157237" first="Aminu" last="Habib"] - Illinois HoopStars Dale: <br />
Didn’t get to see him as much as I would’ve liked to, but he performed when I watched. His 33 point outburst Sunday was enough to claim this spot, though. A guard that’s patient on offense and always has a vision for open teammates. He’s a high-volume scorer at all three levels, so whatever the defense gives him, he’ll run with it. <br />
[player_tooltip player_id="1165729" first="Antoine" last="Glasper"] - Meanstreets:<br />
A stud with elite scoring ability. He led Meanstreets in scoring for the majority of their games and did it with flair. His finishes around the rim were Globetrotter-esque. His speed with the ball in his hands made him a handful for defenses, especially in isolation. <br />
[player_tooltip player_id="1160661" first="Jobe" last="Bryant"] - Brad Beal Elite:<br />
The leader for a loaded Brad Beal Elite squad. He helmed the offense at all times and played steady defense against elite guards in Pool A. Drove well all weekend, playing poised and unafraid. He proved why he’s one of the top players in his state rankings.<br />
Jon Bol - Brad Beal Elite:<br />
A unicorn prospect with serious potential at the next level. No one could stop Bol when determined to score. A clean pass and catch is all it takes for him to get in position for a dunk under the rim. The unique thing about Bol was his conditioning and athleticism. He was coordinated, able to move and shift around in the post, and could run well in transition. <br />
[player_tooltip player_id="1144570" first="Ty" last="Fernholz"] - Wisconsin Academy Elite:<br />
Fernholz is a gamer, the kind of gritty, active, natural player that’ll lure in schools at a young age. He hit four threes in the first half Saturday morning and had 18 against Meanstreets today. He makes his teammates better with smart passing and strong transition play. He’s having a big summer and only boosted his stock this weekend.</p>
<p>Second Team - <br />
[player_tooltip player_id="1157205" first="Dekwon" last="Brown"] - Team Rose<br />
Mathok Guot - Brad Beal Elite<br />
