#PHATownShowdown 17U Day Two Top Performers

I dropped day one Top Performers; now it is time to look into those that caught my eye on day two. Here is a look at a few…   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-Aiden-White.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1468581 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-Aiden-White-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Aiden White (6’1/SG/2023) Team: Crunch Time ’23 Instagram: rockstar.a Twitter: @ARxckstar   Aiden is a highly explosive guard that can score the rock. He got it done at all levels but really displayed his ability to knock down the trey ball. As I watched Aiden, something kept telling me that he has so much more to bring to the floor. He flashed his potential at times as I thought he was about to take over the game, then he would shrink back. If he ever makes up his mind to put the pedal to the floor, watch out because he was one of the most explosive guards throughout the weekend. He has an arsenal at his disposal, is highly skilled, and is a highly unselfish player. <blockquote> He was terrific in transition, finishing at the cup and often finishing above the rim. </blockquote> He is a talented young player that can definitely find his way onto a college campus when he is done with his high school career.   Offers: He currently holds no offers.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-Grant-Stubbs.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1468583 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-Grant-Stubbs-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="1385943" first="Grant" last="Stubbs"] (6’1/SG/2023) Team: T-Town Kings 2023 Instagram: grant_stubbs Twitter: @GrantStubbs23   I covered Grant with his high school last season, and there has been growth in his game since then. He is a lot more poised and confident in his play on the offensive end of the floor. He is a competitive, tough, and aggressive guard that is reliable and trustworthy out on the floor. He is the type of player that makes the game easy for the coaches he plays for. He does whatever it takes to win, and he has a winning mindset that is very contagious amongst his teammates. He can score and facilitate and showed that he is a high-end decision-maker in tight quarters and the open floor. <blockquote> He doesn’t shy away from making the tough plays and is one of the reasons that the T-Town Kings went 4-0 on the weekend. </blockquote> In a match-up against Pistons Elite, he finished with 9pts but impacted the game in ways outside of the scoring column. In the last game of the weekend, he tweaked his ankle, stayed in the game, and finished with 10pts in the victory against Black Diamond Basketball.   Offers: He currently holds no offers.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-David-Brown.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1468584 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-David-Brown-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>David Brown (6’2/SG/2022) Team: NoSleep Sports 2023 Instagram: hoodie.dave1k Twitter: @hoodiedave3   David put on an absolute show on day two as he showed all in attendance his elite three-point shooting and range. The question that I jokingly had with one of the refs was where was this lethal shooting on day one. Some may think it was a fluke, but it wasn’t, as he showed signs in earlier games, but the shots just were not falling.   <blockquote> In the last game for his squad, he exploded for 15pts, all coming from behind the arc, and showed that he has a skill set that can help a team at the next level. </blockquote> David was one of the ’22 players out this weekend looking to increase his stock.   Offers: David did not answer in the questionnaire whether or not he had any offers.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-Zavier-Askew.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1468585 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-Zavier-Askew-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Zavier Askew (6’1/CG/2023) Team: North Metro Elite 2023 Instagram: zavieraskew Twitter: @zavieraskew   Zavier was one of the top-tier shooters on day two. He shot the ball well throughout the weekend and had a 14pt outing in a 71-40 victory over Savannah Select. He can put the ball on the floor, but his strength is when he is settled into being a 3-and-D player. He has the ability to heat up at any moment, and when he does, it is as though the rim is as wide as the ocean.   <blockquote> He also showed his ability to move well without the ball and run off screens, which is an essential aspect of his game when opposing teams make adjustments and begin to face guard him or run him off the line. </blockquote> Zavier did have some moments where he shied away from shooting the rock, and this could have been a result of playing with a loaded squad that has a plethora of scoring options.   Offers: Zavier did not answer in the questionnaire whether or not he had any offers.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-Giovanni-Harris.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1468580 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-Giovanni-Harris-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Giovanni Harris (6’5/PF/2023) Team: Tony Delk Basketball Academy 2023 Instagram: gioharrishoops Twitter: @gioharris_   I had a chance to watch Giovanni on both days this weekend, and day two was definitely a better outing for him. On day one, he seemed to be cruising throughout the day and was just a steady presence. On day two, it was as though he turned it on and showed what I was waiting to see on day one. He was much more aggressive around the rim and dominated the paint area. He had more post touches on day two, and he did not waste them as he went early and was explosive when making his move to the basket. <blockquote> His athleticism, size, and length caused problems for T-Town Kings as Giovanni kept his team close as the Kings had no answer for him. </blockquote> His length helped him throughout the tournament on D and on the board, and he was much more committed on both ends of the floor on day two. His positional size and skill set are legit reasons that a collegiate program should take a look at him. He had 22pts in the 57-61 loss to T-Town Kings.   Offers: He currently holds no offers.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-Dakaree-Scott.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1468586 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-Dakaree-Scott-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Dakaree Scott (6’0/CG/2022) Team: Black Diamond Basketball 2023 Instagram: d3k3ree Twitter: @d3karee   Dakaree was a steady and impactful presence on both ends of the court. He played with energy and competed relentlessly throughout the weekend, particularly on day two. As a slasher, he created off the bounce and made plays for himself and others. He easily could have been more productive in the scoring column as he has a knack for scoring the rock. He showed his ability to score from multiple levels and was efficient in doing so. However, he plays the game with a great understanding and unselfishly never allows the ball to get stuck with him but keeps the ball moving, often leading to something good for his squad. He was one of the few seniors out this weekend looking to increase their stock and get eyes on their game. <blockquote> He is a combo guard that can play on-ball and off-ball, and in either situation, his production remains the same. </blockquote> His activity, energy, and effort are the things that separated him from others this weekend. He had solid numbers as he poured in 14pts in a 61-64 loss to Crunch Time and 14pts (6pts from behind the arc) in a 48-59 loss to T-Town Kings.   Offers: He currently holds no offers.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-Nathan-Eroh.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1468587 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/PH-Nathan-Eroh-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Nathan Eroh (6’6/SF/2023) Team: F.I.S.T. Basketball 2023 Instagram: nateeroh Twitter: @nateeroh1   Nathan has a great physical profile as he has a muscular build and a solid frame, and you can tell that he has committed time in the weight room. He is a super athletic wing with hops and is quick off the floor. When attacking off the bounce, he attacks with purpose and is determined to get to the cup. He absorbs contact on his drive, and it was often the defenders on the wrong end of the contact against Nathan. There is a lot to like about Nathan’s game as he passed the eye test and could easily step into a program and contribute once his high school career is done. <blockquote> Defensively he showed his ability to defend multiple positions, and he is a committed force on the glass. </blockquote> He got out and ran the floor in transition and played with passion and intensity. He did not list any offers, but if he does not have any offers, that should change when the right eyes get on him. He had 14pts in a 66-31 win over HBSA.   Offers: Nathan did not answer in the questionnaire whether or not he had any offers.   Stay tuned as more is coming from #PHATownShowdown.
