Here is Part 2 at our look at the schedule of games and some players to watch at the event!</p> <h2>SCHEDULE</h2> <p>North Farmington vs. DEPSA (5PM, Court 1)</p> <p>Berkley vs. Detroit Osborn (5PM, Court 2)</p> <p> Brother Rice vs. North Farmington (6PM, Court 1)</p> <p>Groves 2 vs. JRLA  (6PM, Court 2)</p> <p> Livonia Franklin vs. Lansing Waverly (7PM, Court 1)</p> <p>Walled Lake Central vs. Robichaud  (7PM, Court 2)</p> <p> Brother Rice vs. Renaissance (8PM, Court 1)</p> <p> Lansing Waverly Farmington (8PM, Court 2)</p> <h2>PLAYERS TO WATCH</h2> <p><strong>Mohamed Farahani (2024, PG, Farmington)</strong></p> <p>Farahani is an extremely high upside prospect that could explode in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1077679" first="Hutch" last="Ward"] </strong>fashion next high school season. He’s an athletic guard with a nice positional size and frame. Farahani sees the court well and can play effectively at any speed.</p> <p><strong>Eric Hobson Jr. (2023, CG, Livonia Franklin)</strong></p> <p>Hobson Jr. is an underrated prospect that some college coaches will want to take advantage of the opportunity to see. He’s a smooth scorer that can finish at the rim as well as get hot with his jumper. Hobson Jr. is a versatile guard that can play on or off the ball.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1300913" first="Jonathan" last="Mikhalov"] (2023, CG, Walled Lake Central)</strong></p> <p>Mikhalov is a name to remember as you head to the DC Elite Summer League on Wednesday. He has the look of a shooter at heart and can be dangerous when he starts grooving his jumper. Mikhalov could be a nice fit for a coach at the next level.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1140329" first="Deunte" last="Phifer"] (2024, SG, Lansing Waverly)</strong></p> <p>Phifer is having a terrific spring and early summer. He’s a huge part of all the talk about Lansing Waverly right now. Phifer is a 2 way player that can come up with stops on defense and has a pretty jumper with range.</p> <p><strong>Dwayne Ray Jr. (2023, PG, North Farmington)</strong></p> <p>Ray Jr. is coming off a really nice junior season that probably deserves more credit and notoriety for. What caught my eye was his consistency on the offensive end. He consistently put up solid numbers and didn’t need to be shot dominant to do so. I also like Ray’s ability to effect the game, with or without the ball in his hands.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1431572" first="Tamir" last="Runinkevich"] (2023, SG, Berkley)</strong></p> <p>Runinkevich can flat out score the basketball. He can get HOT from behind the arc and is a game changer when he does. After seeing Runinkevich in Grand Rapids on the Prep Hoops Circuit, I can guarantee that he will skyrocket up the rankings.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1431850" first="Dorian" last="Walker-Berry"] (2023, PF, Detroit Edison)</strong></p> <p>Walker-Berry is a talented post prospect that just plain old gets the job done. He uses his strong legs and physicality to earn position in the paint. Walker-Berry turns that position in the paint into defensive and offensive rebounds as well as high percentage put backs and looks at the rim.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="985661" first="Curtis" last="Williams"] (2023, SF, Brother Rice)</strong></p> <p>Williams is an elite wing on a national level. He has so many tools including positional strength and a disciplined game. Williams should be considered a must see player in Michigan this season.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
