A-Town Showdown: Day 1 17U Top Performers Pt. 2

<p><strong>2022 5-11 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1192661" first="Avery" last="Marshall"] – SBT</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1192661" first="Avery" last="Marshall"] provided a late flurry of offense, pumping in 17 of his team-high 25 points in the second half to go with his 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Marshall can get hot in the blink of an eye. He stroked five threes and mixed in hard takes to the bucket where he uses his strong compact frame to absorb contact and convert And-1s. Aside from his stat sheet stuffing, Marshall does the little things well as well. He blocks out on shot attempts and provides multiple efforts on defense.</p> <p><strong>2022 6-2 SG Mike McLaughlin – XFE 2022</strong></p> <p>Mike McLaughlin changed the complexion of the game when he got on the floor. The three-point specialist has the neon green light to fire whenever the ball touches his hands. He drilled four threes and finished with 18 points in a 53-41 victory.</p> <p><strong>2021 6-0 G Michael Teal – NOVA UNFD<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_5679.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1182826 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_5679-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></strong></p> <p>It was a balanced offensive attack from Michael Teal, who tacked on a team-high 20 points in an opening win over NME. Teal hit two threes but was at his best using his athleticism and assaulting the rim. The bouncy guard threw down a thunderous dunk that got the crowd into it. Teal has nice footwork when getting downhill, spinning off defenders to free himself.</p> <p><strong>2022 5-10 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1192660" first="Landon" last="Stubblefield"] – NME</strong></p> <p>A feisty competitor, [player_tooltip player_id="1192660" first="Landon" last="Stubblefield"] scored at all three levels as he collected a game-high 24 points and 8 rebounds. Stubblefield is low to the ground and can push the ball up the floor to break the press. He’s capable of stopping on a dime to hit the pull-up or get into the paint where he has a reliable floater. Stubblefield made the defense pay whenever they left him unmarked behind the arc, hitting a pair of trifectas.</p> <p><strong>2022 6-5 F [player_tooltip player_id="1192667" first="Ethan" last="McIntyre"] – NME</strong></p> <p>The game is starting to slow down for [player_tooltip player_id="1192667" first="Ethan" last="McIntyre"]. Throughout his career, McIntyre has shown flashes of his intriguing upside. Consistency and aggressiveness were areas of growth. On Saturday, it looked like the rising senior may have turned the corner. He attacked in a variety of ways. Most often used in the high and low post, McIntyre showcased a more diverse game with improved ball handling and balance. He was able to get to the basket from the perimeter, spinning his way to the hoop and then using a patient pivot to free himself inside. When McIntyre plays with confidence and motor, he’s a potential game wrecker. He had 11 points and 6 rebounds. D-III programs will want to keep his name in mind moving forward – he could have a breakout senior season.</p>
