Who Wants the Smoke 17U Matchups

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">3SSB New World vs. EYBL Houston Hoops</span></p> <p>New World out of DC is one of the top programs in the 17U category in the 3SSB with a 7-1 record on the circuit. They put it on the line as they arguably have the toughest schedule this weekend also taking on EYBL Team Griffin and EYBL Liv On/ Fleur de lis  (LA). <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1241901" first="Blake" last="Neal"]</strong> is a nice player to watch on New World and so is<strong> [player_tooltip player_id="1070090" first="Kennard" last="Davis"]</strong> but this team is deep. </p> <p>Houston Hoops has some dudes to like [player_tooltip player_id="1056399" first="Jace" last="Posey"], [player_tooltip player_id="787349" first="Jaland" last="Lowe"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1332638" first="Ashton" last="Hardaway"]. This game should be electric to start off as a game one on Friday. </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mid Pro Academy (IL) vs. 3SSB Dream Vision </span></p> <p>The size on the floor is going to be crazy in this one. Looking forward to the fireworks because this is a get you popcorn ready type of game. If you have an inkling of finding a big in the Class of 2023 come watch 6’10 [player_tooltip player_id="992478" first="Jazz" last="Gardner"], this kid is talented and he is going up against another solid D1 kid in [player_tooltip player_id="1167700" first="Duke" last="Faley"] who is headed to Iowa. Dream Vision has some guards to watch as well like [player_tooltip player_id="989243" first="Angelo" last="Kambala"].</p> <p>Mid Pro Academy is no walk in the park as they have a lot of players that play with a chip on their shoulders as they have some mid-major dudes that can go. 6’7 [player_tooltip player_id="1374163" first="Danny" last="Stephens"] is a dude with size, speed and skill. This game should be elite. </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">EYBL JL3 vs. 3SSB Utah Prospects</span></p> <p>Both of these teams play a tough brand of basketball. The Utah Prospects have played a tough schedule on the circuit but they have given everyone a run for their money. Impressed with the crafty guard play of 6’3 PG [player_tooltip player_id="921104" first="Christian" last="Hammond"] who recently picked up an offer from TCU. The Prospect just have a bunch of dudes that play hard. </p> <p>JL3 has a loaded roster like they always do. [player_tooltip player_id="1217798" first="Kayde" last="Dotson"] is a nice MM prospect. 6’10 [player_tooltip player_id="1039603" first="Zayden" last="High"] is a beast dude has offers from some schools that are big time. He will be hard to deal with.</p> <p><strong>Side Note</strong></p> <p>Anywhere Ja’ Kobe Walter is is going to be a show. This kid is unreal and likely one of the best kids in the building this weekend. </p> <ul> <li>Buddy Buckets is always up for the smoke.</li> <li>RJ Hampton Elite is huge and has size all over the floor.</li> <li>Next Page Force is really good at all levels. </li> <li>3SSB Jalen Green and 3SSB Southern Assault could beat anyone on any given day.</li> <li>Cooz Elite has some dudes.</li> <li>EYBL Drive Nation is the real deal and has some next level talent. </li> </ul>
