David Barns Showcase: Best In The Gym
In this article:
<p>The David Barns Showcase took place last Saturday. It was a much anticipated event, and it sure didn’t disappoint. There was talent at all levels and in all classes in the gym that day.</p>
<p>Almost any coach could have found what they were looking for at the David Barns Showcase. That’s what made it so difficult to name a best player in the gym from that day. Guys like <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1111925" first="Anthony" last="Ribel"] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1112375" first="Gio" last="Lutfy"]</strong> for example, and many more, put on terrific shows at the showcase. </p>
<p>After much debating over all the talent, performances, and feedback from the event, I finally made a decision. Im going to name <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1076027" first="Adam" last="Ayrault"]</strong>, from Grosse Pointe North, as best in the gym last Saturday at the David Barns Showcase. </p>
<p><strong>Ayrault </strong>just looked like he was at a different level. He has the intangibles of a high upside prospect including good positional size, solid athleticism, and a high basketball IQ. <strong>Ayrault </strong>may have caught some by surprise as he hasn’t been on the grassroots scene as much. Many of us were waiting for a day like last Saturday, and it definitely arrived. </p>
<p><strong>Ayrault </strong>flashed an impressive skill set, to say the least, at the David Barns Showcase. He scored effectively from both inside and out. He showed a ferocious 2 handed finish that he rose up on and flushed home from above the rim. <strong>Ayrault </strong>also showed the ability to step beyond the arc and shoot over top of defenders. He even showed the ability to stay focused through his shot when contested with a hand in his face. Don’t forget about defense. On numerous occasions, <strong>Ayrault </strong>stepped up the pressure just inside the half court line and created turnovers.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1076027" first="Adam" last="Ayrault"] </strong>made a huge statement at the David Barns Showcase. He went from somebody that people wondered about to a prospect that Division 1 coached should keep an eye on. <strong>Ayrault </strong>will be a big story around the state from here on out. </p>
