EYBL 15U Debut: NJ Scholars

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The EYBL Session in Memphis provided the chance to get eyes on this highly anticipated Scholars team. Despite going 0-4, they showed a ton of promise. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 [player_tooltip player_id='2194337' first='Darrell' last='Davis'] | 5'11 Archbishop Carroll&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When Davis wasn't snaking through the paint for crafty lay ups and kick-outs for three, he was stopping-and-popping in the mid-range. His comfort level orchestrated the offense and defense was intriguing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 [player_tooltip player_id='1406767' first='Munir' last='Greig'] | 6'6 Archbishop Carroll&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With his long arms, Greig got his hands into passing lanes to create turnovers and extended around defenders for layups. The 6'6 wing added some secondary playmaking as well.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#11 Joshua Rivera | 6'6 Archbishop Stepinac</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rivera didn't make or take a high volume of shots, but that didn't stop him from mixing it up on defense. A wing from NY, Rivera was active on defensive rotations and on the glass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#13 [player_tooltip player_id='2145489' first='Xavier' last='Fauntroy'] | 6'2 West Catholic&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Letting it fly from anywhere he caught the ball, Fauntroy shot around 40% from three over the weekend. He was almost as locked in on defense, getting after it at the point-of-attack.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#23 [player_tooltip player_id='2407095' first='Zion' last='Green'] | 6'8 Imhotep</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The toolsy prospect showcased his perimeter skills off-the-bounce. Green used his handle to score in isolation, slashing all the way to the basket and converting multiple and-one opportunities.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#30 [player_tooltip player_id='2194372' first='Nazir' last='Tyler'] | 6'2 Father Judge&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tyler's ability to scale his game up or down came in handy for Scholars 15s. He knocked down spot-up jumpers, as well as create shots for himself.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#35 [player_tooltip player_id='2628237' first='Ibrahima' last='Cisse'] | 6'8 TBD 2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A rising freshman, Cisse was dialed in as the team's rim protector. He blocked several shots and was effective on the defensive glass. His teammates occasionally rewarded him with drop-off passes down low.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
