David Douglas had the biggest weekend of any prospect in attendance giving us all amazing breakout performances as his recruiting stock skyrocketed. Overall, Douglas may have been the most skilled prospect in the tournament, he showed a high basketball IQ, elite footwork, a bag full handles, efficient shot making, dime dropping passes, rebounding, lockdown defense, and even leadership as he communicated effectively on both sides of the ball. David Douglas proved to be an up and coming star with all of the potential and makings of true point guard as he played with a smooth, poise, and intelligent game, controlling things at his own speed and pace, never seeming out of control or in a rush, he always let the game come him, nothing was forced. Douglas has some of the best footwork I have ever seen from a player his age, his knack for spinning around anybody, splitting multiple defenders, and hop stepping through all sorts of traffic was a thing of beauty and allowed him to touch the paint at will. On the defensive side of the ball, Douglas is often a threat in the passing lanes but on this weekend he wrecked offenses as a pick-pocket defender while ripping guards clean on their crossovers.
Jadarian Williams was a very exciting prospect who put on a show game after game of extreme athleticism and high level competitiveness. This kid dominated the tournament from beginning to end as the most explosive player in the gym. Whenever Williams came down hill a highlight play was sure to follow, he didn’t care about a defender standing underneath the basket, he used it as his opportunity to put that man on his poster. Remarkable feel for scoring the ball from all three levels, the craftiness of his shaky handle allowed Williams to create a shot off the dribble in any situation exhibiting the speed, quickness, and footwork to maneuver through traffic and pressure defense. As the lead guard, he excels on the ball as a playmaker due to his pace and passing ability out of the pick and roll. He also showed a knack for controlling of the tempo, displaying an understanding of when to speed the game up and when to slow things down. Very effective change of direction dribbles followed by a tremendous burst in his first step in the halfcourt and elite coast to coast speed in transition. Defensively, Jadarian Williams‘s length combined with his ability to cover ground laterally and vertically made him a monster in the passing lanes and in space. Williams produced the most jaw-dropping athletic play of the weekend when he chased down blocked a fastbreak layup off the backboard showing off his amazing leaping, anticipation, and timing skills.

6-foot-3 forward, Jordan Warren blocked every type of shot, whether they were high or low arcing shots, floaters and layups out of his vicinity, and even mid-range pull-ups. Warren’s efforts on the defensive end propelled Buchanan’s Performance Academy into the championship round of play, producing 5 first half blocks that sent the ball either flying out of bounds or into the hands of a teammate. Warren utilized rim protection to set the tone for the game, he picked up so many blocks early-on in games that it forced the opposing team to think twice before coming inside. This Arkansas recruit has extremely long limbs and strides to cover an enormous amount ground in a split second.

Miles Jackson is one of those top-notch defensive prospects that finds a way to impact the game in one way or another. The 6-foot-4-inch forward took pride in his defensive abilities and it showed with the way he sprinted into the lane to protect the basket. Jackson’s fluid athleticism combined with his fantastic physical tools allowed this young man to be a fearless rim protector looking to challenge everything that came inside, displaying a phenomenal hand eye coordination by always getting his hand on the ball alongside an excellent first and second jump. On the perimeter, Miles Jackson showed off his lockdown defensive prowess, his wide wingspan and anticipation shut off driving angles and restricted his opponents space to handle the ball comfortably.

Marquell Robinson had a big time breakout weekend delivering points and wins to Team Griffin. The 6-foot-1 guard showcased another dimension to his game while proving to be more than just a bucket getter. As the primary ball-handler, Robinson carried the scoring load as he’s known to do with his variety of shot making but he also added some effective passing that led his teammates into an easy shot attempts. Good court vision and a strong zip on his throws, Marquell got the ball to his teammates as they were spotting up or on the move, providing a threatening passing and scoring capability out of the pick and roll.
