Continue ReadingAll good things must come to an end. Some players increased their stock and others made a name for themselves. After weekend full of games I thought about to myself what if this playmaker could play with this shooter how would their stats skillset make each other better. This list is consist of players I think can be a good AAU team.
Scott keep the game simple taking what the defense give him. The consistent motor make his presence known in all areas of the game. Positon himself in the midline on helpside defense and always anticipating what the offense will do. He surely get my MVP vote for the showcase. He make playing defense fun to watch. Recently picked up an offer from the University of Iowa, expect more offers as the summer continue.
Myles Franklin
Myles Franklin
By far my favorite to watch from this weekend because of his downhill skillset. The lengthy 6’4 Franklin added multiple victims to his dunk body count at Drive Nation. He understands when to cut in order to get those wide open dunks. Can get to the basket in less dribble because of the space he takes up on his gather. Would keep an eye on this athlete. Good outside shooter that release the ball high making it harder for defenders to contest. Give time
Ratrevious Crawley
Ratrevious Crawley
The most impressive part about Crawley he plays his role. With his height and strength he posses he play down low. Using his muscle to finish with contact and his quickness to get by defenders. Now when he went the wing I really saw what he can do in space.Quick first step after rocking the defender to sleep is how he drives the ball. Athletic built body that goes with his game.
Stephen Burkes III
Stephen Burkes III
This big body guard have the ball on a string. Tough hard-nose defender that cause turnovers with ball pressure and active hands. Aggressive player on both ends of the court. Burkes III can impact a team with his defense. Just because of the energy he bring on defense can keep your team in the game. Have the ability to create plays for himself or others. Another quick first-step guard that can bump defenders for an easy layup. Didn’t see him shot the outside shot much so would like to see him
Vasili Fikaris
Vasili Fikaris
A real basketball have to like Vasili game. He plays the right way producing by doing the little things on both ends. Physical player that withstand pressure under the rim. Can operate from the inside and out. Good at finding the open man and the open cutter. He can hit the open perimeter shot as well. Great utility piece for any team because of the IQ he plays with.
Tyler Moses
Tyler Moses
The young man have a flamethrower attached to him because he was one of the best shooters I saw this weekend. If he shot it you thought it was going in. What stood out was the wiggle he have when handling the ball. He have the ability to create space and get his own shot. Can spread the floor because the defense can’t help off him.
Elon Conley
Elon Conley
Conley displayed his point guard skills all weekend. Excited to see what he bring to Elkins next year. He was getting paint touches at will, making the right read with the ball. He knows the exact spot to get rid before he drive too deep against the bigs. Small guard that is hard to stay in front of, and poise under pressure.
DJ Hall
DJ Hall
His strong post presence alone can bring positive energy to the team. His muscle frame will stand out. Post play that is mobile, and can operate at the high post. His motor on the court create extra possessions on offense. Great at high pointing the ball on boards. Can be used for pick-n-pop action
Kaden Mitchell Kaden Mitchell 6'6" | C Centennial | 2025 TX
Kaden Mitchell Kaden Mitchell 6'6" | C Centennial | 2025 TX
The big fellas can become a problem down low with the right development. A big can run down the middle of the floor. Can seal players in the post, and finish with the soft touch. Kaden not phased by the double team down low, but he find the open pass to make. Goes up strong against defenders. Inputs himself on the boards immediately. Once he matures his game will really grow
DJ Neal
DJ Neal
Call him Waka Flocka because he go hard in the paint crashing the boards on both ends, making the right read out the dribble, and playing strong with the ball. Along with his strength he have finesse finishing at the rim. Use his jab to get a step ahead of the defender then one-dribble pull-up in the short corner.
Keyuan Williams
Keyuan Williams
Keyuan is an off the dribble shooter with a high release. The freshman played 16u this weekend showing he can create for himself off the dribble, hit open jumpers, and play on ball defense. His team trusted him to clear out and score out of isolation. He plays with chip on his shoulder. Need to develop his body but like I typed earlier HE’S A FRESHMAN.
