PrepHoops Live ATL: Day 2 Standouts

<p><strong>PrepHoops Live ATL: Day 2 Standouts</strong></p> <p><strong>2023 6-7 F [player_tooltip player_id="1043602" first="Jaden" last="Biggers"] – Griffin Elite Bordas<br /> </strong>There wasn’t anything flashy about Biggers’ game, but that didn’t stop him from being effective. Jaden is a blossoming big man that rebounds consistently and is a steady finisher up close. He has a hook shot in his arsenal and good footwork which he uses to step through the defense or attack middle. Jaden tallied 11 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block in a 75-65 win.</p> <p><strong>2023 6-2 G Antonio Lewis – Gold Starz Athletics<br /> </strong>Even though Gold Starz trailed nearly the entire game, Antonio Lewis played hard till the final buzzer. He was relentless on defense, aggressively pursuing rebounds and sticking with ball handlers. Antonio scored his points on slashes to the basket, finishing with 21 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals.</p> <p><strong>2025 5-11 PG Sterling Hoarde – Gold Starz Athletics<br /> </strong>There’s a lot to like about the young guard. Hoarde changes gears like a veteran, shifting speeds to keep defenders off balance as he assaults the paint. Sterling was a foul magnet, going 6-8 from the line. Hoarde had 13 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. He’s got a good motor and a mature feel for the game.</p> <p><strong>2023 6-7 W [player_tooltip player_id="1491768" first="Zach" last="Close"] – Minnesota Fury Hayes<br /> </strong>Close is an interesting prospect. He’s a versatile piece that can attack inside and out. I view him more as a wing, but Zach holds his own well as a combo-forward. He’s a sturdy rebounder that can finish at the rim through contact. He’s a competitor that isn’t afraid to be vocal with opponents. Close tacked on 11 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in an 87-76 win. Zach holds major value in small-ball lineups.</p> <p><strong>2023 6-2 PG Termaine Fulton – Minnesota Fury Hayes<br /> </strong>The physical southpaw is a tough playmaker. He can put his shoulder down and get into the paint when he wants. Termaine has good court vision in traffic. When Fulton gets into the paint, he absorbs contact. He’s a threat on the perimeter as well, equipped with a three-point shot that he can hit off the bounce. Fulton recorded 15 points vs. Gold Starz Athletics.</p> <p><strong>2023 6-0 Daquis Brown – Overtime Performance<br /> </strong>Brown was the energizer bunny for his team, totaling 13 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals and 1 block. He’s a hustler that likes to get downhill for his offense. Brown uses floaters to negate length and is patient when probing defenses.</p>
