Continue ReadingThis weekend is the second tournament of the fall season for Zero Gravity with the Fall brawl. This tournament should have some high level players, and will take place in the South Shore, and the metro west Boston area. Here we preview players and teams you should watch this weekend.
NYBC Elite, Game schedule Saturday 9am vs Mass Elite at Essex, Saturday 10:10 vs Mig’s at Essex, Sunday 12:40 Vs EVO Elite, at Essex.
NYBC Elite is a team out of Newton Massachusetts with seniors and Juniors. Last spring was their first season, and they really improved, and showed a lot of potential. NYBC has a lot of players who are stock risers, that coaches should note. Here is a few players from the NYBC team to watch this weekend.
Sam Hegarty, Position PG, Class Senior
Sam is a point guard, who showed his scoring skills last season, with games of 25 and 23 points. One game Sam had three three pointers in a row. Sam really showed his leadership last season, and made a lot of big plays down the stretch to secure his team wins. Sam can handle ball well, and run the offense. As the season went on and NYBC had more time playing together, they really played better team ball and moved the ball on offense better. Sam can also play off the ball, and moves well with out the ball. Sam should be a big factor this weekend in NYBC’s games.
Alex Talyanskiy Class Senior, Position PG,
Alex might not be the biggest player on the court, but can handle the ball really well, and really uses his quickness to his advantage. Alex is a true point guard who is pass first. Alex has also shown that he can finish over bigger defenders. Alex does a good job controlling the tempo of games.
Jeff Grabowski, Position C,
NYBC has a lot of guards, so Jeff is a key part to the team’s paint protection. Jeff is a rim, and paint protector. Jeff plays good help side defense. Jeff grabs a lot of big rebounds that lead to fast breaks and second chance points. Jeff has really improved his finishing skills over the years, and has gotten stronger resulting in his improvement to finish through contact. Jeff can score off the dribble as well. Jeff will be tasked this weekend with guarding the other teams big man, unless they decide to go zone and he will play down low in the middle.
John Kim G
John may not be the most skilled player on the team, but he might be the most athletic player on the NYBC team. You might even see him dunk on a fast break. John has improved his skills over the years, becoming a better shooter, and ball handler. John is a good defender, and forces a lot of turnovers. Defense and athleticism are his best attributes.
Bay State Jaguars Varsity Weekend Schedule. Jaguars Alves, Saturday 2:50 vs B2L, 6:20 vs MPC, both at Starland. Sunday 10:20 vs Mass Elite. Jaguars Mullin, 10:10 vs Rivals red, 11:20 vs Rivals white, both at Starland. Sunday at 12:40 vs Prodigy, at Dana Baros
The Bay state Jaguars AAU program out of Eastern Massachusetts have produced a lot of high level players, and many college players. They had a strong showing last weekend, and I expect them to have another strong showing this weekend, in a competitive bracket. Here is a few players from Bay state Jaguars to keep an eye out for this weekend.
Dominic Taylor, Position G
Last weekend Dominic had a very strong performance. He scored the ball at a very high level, and shot the ball very well. Dominic had 26 point in one game. Dominic can Score the ball in many ways. He can get to the basket off the dribble, and also spot up. Dominic is a high level playmaker who can take over a game. I expect another big weekend from Dominic.
Timmy Bollin, G
Tim’s sister is Shay Bollin, who is a standout player committed to Duke. Tim is a high level combo guard himself, and is a player that can impact the game in many ways. Timmy is a play maker and a scorer. Timmy is athletic, and can run the floor. Timmy is a high level finisher, and very good at finishing through contact. Timmy is a smart player with a high basketball IQ, and a player who plays with high energy. Timmy is good at reading the defense and anticipating on defense. Tim’s game will translate well to the next level.
Louis Fay F,
Louis will be looking to build off his strong performance last weekend. Louis is strong defender, who you can count on when you need a stop. Louis plays hard, and impacts the game on both side of the ball. Louis can score the ball, and finish well. Louis can also play out on the wing.
Ryan Mela, Position F, class Junior
Ryan is certainly a player you want to watch this weekend. Ryan had a monster season as a sophomore for Natick last year. He was a stat line machine every game. Ryan can pretty much do it all, and can take over any game. Ryan is skilled, strong, and athletic. Ryan can play above the rim, and also out on the wing. Ryan is a high level player, who’s game will translate to high levels.
