AAU Spring/Summer Team Preview: Iowa Mavericks 17U – Purple

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Iowa Mavericks 17U - Purple team hasn't been together as long as their Grey squad but this group has a plethora of solid skill players accompanied with some real athleticism at all positions on the court. They are a team equipped with a few quick point guards, several athletic shooting guards, and some nicely sized forwards/centers in the paint area. If all these players can get on the same page and mesh together, then they are going to be a team to watch out for this spring/summer on the NXT/PRO16 circuit.
