One of the more intriguing prospects that we got the chance to see on the day, it was impressive to see how many ways he impacted the game. He looks very comfortable in the post and has a baby hook shot that he scores with efficiently, but his defense and rebounding were where he made the biggest impact.
Brings plenty of the traits that you like to see from a Point Guard. He has a quick first step that he uses to blow by defenders and causes the defense to collapse. Once he’s in the paint he makes the right reads which leads to easy offense for his team.
One of the top unsigned seniors left on the board, he led the Gold bracket in scoring at just under 27 Points per contest. We loved how aggressive he was to score the ball and he understands how to use his size to score the ball over smaller guards without much of an issue.
The ECU commit continues to play at a high level throughout the grassroots season, making a nice impact on games on both ends of the floor. He is an outstanding ballhandler that keeps defenders guessing, can score the ball in numerous ways and provides a nice amount of intensity on the defensive end of the floor.

This young man can flat out score the ball in multiple ways and displayed his ability throughout the entire weekend. He led all five 17u divisions in scoring, averaging over 31 Points per contest, and caused all types of headaches for defenders. He scores the ball from all three levels, converts difficult shots and doesn’t hesitate about taking over games whenever his team needs him to.
Another player that showcased his ability to score the ball at very a high level, he averaged 29 Points per contest on Saturday and 25 PPG for the entire tournament. What we truly appreciated was the fact that he didn’t force plays when teams attempted to trap in pick and roll situations and the fact that he always has his head up which allows him to advance the ball quickly when his team gets out in transition.
