The Prep Hoops Bash In The Desert was played during the weekend of April 29- May 1st in Gilbert AZ. These were some of the top floor generals I observed in the 15 & 16U divisions. [player_tooltip player_id="1284157" first="Jerome" last="Williams Jr"] (Minnesota Spartans 2024) A jet quick guard who was outstanding whether at top speed or in half court sets. He ran the sets almost to perfection and was constantly looking for the best shot available. I’m guessing his 4.0 GPA helps in his decision making. [player_tooltip player_id="1284125" first="De’Mari" last="Larkins"] (Minnesota Spartans 2024) Another electric guard for the Minnesota Spartans. He was a beast on defense and on the offensive end, when he wasn’t dropping dimes to the bigs, he was showing off his bounce in the lane. Charley Reado (Fresno Flyers Elite 2024) The smooth lefty could have scored much more but chose to let his offense come to him. You can tell that getting his teammates involved was his top priority. Julius Brower (IE Fire Elite 2025) One of the better on the ball defenders that I saw this weekend. Brower was equally effective on the offensive end. Calm and cool was his demeanor while he ran the show for the Riverside based program. [player_tooltip player_id="1441792" first="Drew" last="Pierce"] (IE Fire Elite 2024) (Featured Image) The guard was super crafty on offense while hitting open teammates also getting his own shots. He can shoot it from mid to the three point line. Jacob Casillas (Gamepoint Inland Empire 2024) The lefty was crafty in the paint dropping off assists while showing a nice touch from the outside. He delivers timely passes while firing away from beyond the arc. Jaylon Wheeler( Team Rampage Elite 2024) A long guard got to the spots he wanted to all weekend. Never really settled for long jumpers rather he preferred to get in the lane for floaters and drop dimes.
