<p><strong>Jared Cook Classic: Day 3 Standouts Pt. 2</strong></p> <p><strong>2022 6-6 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1011351" first="Thomas" last="Allard"] – North Gwinnett</strong></p> <p>The tall shooter let the game come to him. Thomas didn’t press looking for offense and came up big in the fourth quarter scoring nine of his 14 points. Through the first three quarters Allard served more as a playmaker. He was part of an efficient offense that shared the ball and connected on 10 threes. Allard scored with his jumper, hitting a three to open his scoring and the rest mid-range shots. His size and shooting touch make him an attractive prospect. Allard added 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in a 68-58 win over Greenforest.</p> <p><strong>2022 5-7 PG Gunnar Carlberg – North Gwinnett</strong></p> <p>The smallest player on the floor hit some of the biggest shots. Gunnar Carlberg hit a three in each of the first three quarters and went 4-4 from the foul line in the fourth to finish with 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Carlberg was automatic when he got his feet set. With so many weapons surrounding him, Carlberg can get lost in the defensive mix and make opponents pay with his outside shooting.</p> <p><strong>2022 6-0 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1045096" first="Amaru" last="Grosvenor"] – North Gwinnett</strong></p> <p>Amaru was fearless attacking the length of Greenforest. The quick guard got downhill and attacked side to side before finding the crease he wanted. Grosvenor has an expert tear drop floater which he used three times. Amaru plays with nice energy. He had 14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. He’s a solid guard that could warrant more looks moving forward.</p> <p><strong>2022 6-5 W [player_tooltip player_id="1215451" first="Dylan" last="Gary"] – North Gwinnett</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1215451" first="Dylan" last="Gary"] stood out back in the summer and he has proven his value early on in the season with [player_tooltip player_id="758360" first="RJ" last="Godfrey"] still banged up. Gary plays 2-5. His versatility on both ends of the floor gives him great value. He’s a hustler on the glass, a dangerous outside shooter and a skilled slasher. Gary had 15 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. He fought inside with Greenforest’s 7-footers and helped space the floor on offense with a pair of threes. Gary is trending in the right direction. He could be a standout at the right school.</p> <p><strong>2022 6-6 F [player_tooltip player_id="1139775" first="Deterrius" last="Clayton"] – North Gwinnett</strong></p> <p>Unique is a good phrase to explain Duke Clayton’s skill set. He’s a big burly bruiser with a high skill level. Not only can Clayton knock down the three, he can create off the dribble with nimble feet and see the floor while doing so. Clayton’s diverse offensive arsenal paired with his brute strength can create mismatches all over. While the lefty isn’t a high flyer, Clayton is still effective inside with spins baseline and the ability to use his shoulders to power into the chest of defenders. Clayton recorded 7 points and 7 rebounds. JUCO’s have shown interest recently.</p> <p><strong>2022 6-3 PG [player_tooltip player_id="870162" first="Jalen" last="Forrest"] – Greenforest</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="870162" first="Jalen" last="Forrest"] came off the bench and took until the second half to get into the flow. He scored 11 of his 13 points over the final 16 minutes and added 2 rebounds and 4 assists. Forrest can be a bowling ball when getting to the basket. He has the strength to bull past smaller defenders and get to his floater. Forrest hit three pull-up jumpers to mix up his attack. Jalen has a college ready build and has landed multiple D-I offers.</p> <p><strong>2022 6-5 SG [player_tooltip player_id="870182" first="Florian" last="Tenebay"] – Greenforest</strong></p> <p>Floridan Tenebay is off to a strong start this season. He’s a physically impressing big guard that scores from multiple levels. He can create separation on the perimeter and hit the three, but also excels at using his strength to get to the hoop and finish through contact. Tenebay is a solid rebounder and has upside defensively. He finished with 7 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.</p> <p><strong>2023 6-11 C [player_tooltip player_id="820301" first="DK" last="Manyiel"] – Greenforest</strong></p> <p>The long lefty can shoot from the perimeter and he loves to showcase it. Manyiel is a true finesse big that would much rather play 15-feet away from the basket. He has a soft touch and can shoot over defenders but his shot selection has room for improvement. Manyiel takes a lot of fadeaway jump shots. Defensively, he alters a ton of shots. He can long arm rebounds and finish with dunks. Adding more of a low post game will help Manyiel long term. He had 7 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.</p> <p><strong>2023 7-0 C [player_tooltip player_id="820275" first="Gai" last="Chol"] – Greenforest</strong></p> <p>Gai’s first bucket came on an And-1 drive. It gave him confidence and Chol was effective the entire game with 18 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks. Chol scored on tip-ins and even hit a three. He might be slightly less mobile than Manyiel, but Chol still can move his feet when he needs to. Gai can score with either hand inside. Entering Year 3, it will be interesting to see what type of strides Chol makes moving forward.</p>
