CBG Prep Showcase: Maryland Standouts (Part 2)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The inaugural CBG JUCO/Prep Showdown took place at U-Turn in Richmond, VA this past weekend, featuring some of the top post grad and junior college programs in the mid-atlantic. There were 17 teams in attendance and over 20 college coaches in the building, giving players a great chance for exposure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here, we take a look at part two of some of the top performers from the MD high school programs in attendance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You can watch all of the games live on the <a href="http://cbglivenetwork.com">CBG Live Network</a>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1217452' first='Kris' last='Mickens'] | 6'3” WG | National Christian 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1386706,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/02/Mickens-Kris-Head-Shot.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/02/Mickens-Kris-Head-Shot-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1386706"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mickens showed what he showed last year with Fairfax Christian in the CBG events, that he's a big guard with good athleticism that impacts the game in a number of different ways. He played with energy on both ends of the floor, he made shots off the catch and attacked the rim hard and he rebounded well on both ends too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Turner Harris | 6'5” WF | National Christian 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1627541,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/10/Harris-Turner-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/10/Harris-Turner-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1627541"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harris has a ton of potential moving forward, as the 6'5” wing continues to improve every day and has produced regularly as well. He's a big time athlete who gets up above the rim in transition and when attacking downhill, he has improved in his ability to knock down shots from deep and he also has improved in his ability to put it on the deck in isolation situations and create shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1366900' first='Devin' last='Minor'] | 5'11” PG | National Christian 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Minor is the type of guard that as a basketball fan is easy to love, as he goes all out all the time and he makes great decisions with the ball in his hands. He may not be the biggest guy on the court but he makes fantastic decisions with the ball in his hands, he can&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1362686' first='Kevon' last='Corley'] | 6'6” WF | Shabach National 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1627542,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/10/Corley-Kevon-CBG-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/10/Corley-Kevon-CBG-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1627542"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Corley was great for Shabach as he was productive in both of their games scoring the ball in different ways and making plays across the board for his team. The 6'6” wing was fantastic in the midrange showing his ability to hit contested pull-ups, he was active on the glass and on the defensive end and his ability to score from all three levels has to be intriguing for college coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='957108' first='Farrell' last='Crowell'] | 6'1” PG | Shabach National 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crowell has been one of the top under the radar guards in Maryland over the past few years, and he continued to show that during the event as he played well against high level competition and showed his ability to make plays off the bounce. Defenders simply couldn't stay in front of him and he touched the paint at will, he showed the ability to create for himself and others and he competed on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='957106' first='Ralph' last='Martino'] | 6'6” WF | Shabach National 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1366914,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/01/Martino-Ralph.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/01/Martino-Ralph-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1366914"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Martino made a lot of impressive plays throughout the course of the event, including a couple of nasty posters when attacking the rim and getting challenged there. The 6'6” wing showed his big time upside as he made plays on both ends of the floor using his length and athleticism, he finished at and above the rim with consistency and through traffic and he showed the ability to put it on the deck or make shots on the perimeter when left open.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
