Continue ReadingThe Big Shots Boo Williams Legacy classic headlined the second event of this AAU season at Boo Williams Sports Complex. This event hosted over 100 teams and 117 games. Exciting performances and hard-fought games filled the event from start to finish. I was able to get my eyes on a handful of talented athletes. Let’s dive in and take a look at their performances.
Shane Brown
Shane Brown
Standing at 6-foot-1 at the small forward position, Brown has really good positional size for is age and he knew how to use that to his advantage this past weekend at Boo Williams Sports Complex in Hampton, Virginia. Brown did a good job of setting a firm screen, not moving out of position until he gets the contact, and straight-line rolling into open space. When the ball was in his hands, he put pressure on the rim for the defense. Brown was able to attack the slower defenders off the dribble to get to and finish at the rim. He did a good job of initiating contact in the paint to get to the free-throw line for easy points.
Cameron Walters
Cameron Walters
Point guard, Cameron Walters did a great job of using his strength to power through defenders. On multiple occasions he was able to force his way into the paint for a finish in traffic at the rim. When Walters wasn’t scoring the ball he was getting his teammates involved. He did a good job of moving the ball on the perimeter in a timely manner and not being a ball-stopper, as well as finding and hitting shooters in the corner or teammates cutting backdoor.
Jackson Lockard
Jackson Lockard
Another weekend, another scoring-masterpiece from Jackson Lockard. Lockard is a player who can beat defenders in a variety of ways. His advanced footwork allows him to create wide open lanes for himself with a lightning quick first step as well as the ability to create for himself on the perimeter. Lockard is an inside-out scorer. He was able to get two feet in the paint and finish in traffic at a high level as well as knock down the catch and shoot three-pointer with a consistent form.
Zion Walker stands at 6-foot-2 at the point guard position. Typically, being a bit taller than opposing point guards, Walker has the ability to see over and around the defense to deliver swift passes. This past weekend at Boo Williams Sports Complex, Walker did a great job of controlling the defense when the ball was in his hands. He was very decisive in the pick and roll, which kept the defense on the heals. When attacking the paint, Walker commanded a ton of gravity. He did a good job of sucking in the defense and making the right read to the open teammate.
Jamari Edwards
Jamari Edwards
Edwards was all over the court this past weekend at Boo Williams Sports Complex, making hustle plays on defense and initiating fast breaks for teammates. The speedy-quick guard combines his tight handle, twitchy movements, and explosive burst off the dribble to blow by slower defenders and get consistent paint touches. Edwards was also a good ball-mover for BWSL this past weekend. Kept the offense in motion and didn’t hold on to the ball for any longer than needed.
