Spring Survivor Series Saturday AM Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Springfield, VA</em> -- The St. James 2023 Coalition Uprising Invitational: Spring Survivor Series got underway this morning. Here are some standouts I observed during my time in the gym. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1963398' first='Will' last='Davis'] | 15U NOVA Cavs/Meridian (VA) '26</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis is a knockdown shooter who sees the floor and plays unselfishly. He can also mix it up and attack the rim. Davis is not afraid to use his left hand when finishing in the lane, and he rebounds his position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaden Gibson | 16u DMV Stags/Kennedy (MD) ‘25</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gibson has length along with anticipation which makes him an excellent shot blocker. He is an active lefty who runs the floor, is a lob threat, and rebounds well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1768970' first='Nate' last='Harris'] | 16u DMV Stags/Huntingtown (MD) '25</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harris is a shooter who competes defensively. He got off to a nice start with a steal and score in the first half.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1963385' first='Brian' last='McMahon'] | 16u DMV Stags/Chopticon (MD) ‘26</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McMahon was one of the better finishers I saw today. He has long arms and is very effective in transition. McMahon is a southpaw who is crafty and seeks contact in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1488296' first='Brian' last='Poore'] 16u DMV Stags/Old Mill (MD) ‘25</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Poore is a menacing defender who probably had more deflections than anyone I observed today. He is a playmaker who had multiple steals and assists. Poore also hit a 3 from the corner which he got off quickly from the catch. He also helped his team rebound the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1963547' first='Braxton' last='Sebastian'] | 15U NOVA Cavs/Robinson (VA) '26</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sebastian initiated his team's scoring with a runner in the lane. He proceeded to apply relentless pressure on the ball and was vigilant in help-side defense. Sebastian jumped the passing lanes, made smart cuts off the ball, finished with his weaker hand, shared the ball, and communicated effectively with his teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1963548' first='Colin' last='Stemberger'] | 15U NOVA Cavs/Champe (VA) '26</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stemberger is a lighting-quick point guard who changes speeds well and gets paint touches. He is fundamentally sound with a good feel for the game and a diverse set of skills. Stemberger demonstrates an instinctive feel for the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1956029' first='Noah' last='Tucker'] | 16u DMV Stags/Decatur (MD) ‘25</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tucker is a skilled lefty who changes the game on both ends of the floor. He is a threat to shore the 3 from a standstill or on the move, but can also create space with a step back. Tucker will rebound and compete defensively as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1956057' first='Landon' last='Windell'] 16u DMV Stags/Leonardtown (MD) ‘25</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Windell is a point guard who gets downhill and can score from 15 feet and in but is also a knockdown shooter from three. He is a good spot-up shooter. Windell is unselfish. He is a reliable playmaker who has a good feel and anticipates well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
