PBC Showcase Saturday Players To Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We took in the PBC Showcase on Saturday at the beautiful gym at Montour High--We were able to see four games on Saturday and here's who stood out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Titus Gillett</strong> | G | Brashear</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior scorer has been playing bigtime basketball in the absence of Kam Cheatom and Tamere Robinson, both football players who did not play this season. Gillett scored 31 points in a big Bulls win over TJ. He's a calm leader on the floor and did a great job to involve his teammates but also showed his ability to score at multiple levels and hit big shots late in the contest. He's one of the best players in the region that nobody really talks about.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='991332' first='Daemar' last='Kelly'] </strong>| G | Penn Hills</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kelly is committed to Quinnipiac University and looked every bit the part of a D1 prospect on Satuday vs South Fayette. He's got a strong frame and a quick first step. He's a physical and bruising guard who can get to the rim but also hit shots at range. He went over 1,000 points in the third quarter of a tight victory. Kelly cemented his place as the top senior in the region for us on Saturday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1483892' first='Tommy' last='Kristian']</strong> | G| Pittsburgh Central Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TK has been an unsung hero for the Vikings this year and had another solid game in their 50-46 win over Moon Twp. With <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='991365' first='Dante' last='DePante']</strong> out of the lineup once again, the backcourt trio got the job done for Central and Kristian came up with some clutch shots and excellent defensive play to drive the victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1186402' first='Randy' last='Wilkerson']</strong> | G | Pittsburgh Central Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Like TK, Randy has stepped up the last few weeks and has shown an expanded skill set beyond hitting three pointers--He's a capable ball handler and facilitator who has shared responsibility of running the office with TK and junior guard <strong>Payton Wehner</strong>. Randy still got his shots in on Saturday but he moved the ball well and had some nice entry passes into the post. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1284792' first='Debaba' last='Tshiebwe']</strong> | F | Pittsburgh Central Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Debaba has had some "hot and cold" moments this year but he picked a great night to have one of his best performances of the season. He was a dominant force on the block at both ends and was able to get his buckets. More importantly, Oscar's younger brother cleaned up on the glass defensively and also was defending<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1187981' first='Elijah' last='Guillory']</strong> at times on the perimeter. Speaking of, Guillory had a very good game himself and the junior wing handled the ball well and took advantage of his looks to score points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1189638' first='Michael' last='Santicola'] </strong>| G | Moon Twp</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The sophomore guard may have been the best player on the floor on Saturday night. A crafty and smooth lefty, he's an accurate shooter, good ball handler and has a nice first step off the dribble. He can pull up or break defenders down to get to the rim. He's got a high upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
