He had great decision making in high pressure situations, finding teammates and holes in the defense with timely and precise passes. His role as the energy leader was also on display this weekend. His willingness to chase down layups and cause havoc and mistakes was apparent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Caleb Gilliam | Chapman North&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gilliam's activity on both ends of the floor made him a standout prospect this weekend. He proved to be a solid scorer around the rim, finishing contact layups with either hand. The highly aware guard covered ground in a major way on 50/50 balls and slid to help beaten teammates. What stood out the most was his active hands in the passing lanes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ja'kari Lovelady | BNB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lovelady was a driving force for BNB, he was nearly unstoppable once he got a head of steam to the basket. His ability to rebound on the defensive end allowed his team to play fast paced basketball. He proved to be a strong driver when looking to get to the rim, his ability to finish through contact led to “and ones” and momentum shifting plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2407890' first='Zion' last='Vale'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2075807' first='Ray' last='Allen Select']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vace was a quiet assassin for [program_tooltip program_id='2075807' first='Ray' last='Allen Select'], he scored in bunches and efficiently from all three levels. The hard nosed wing mixed it up quite a bit with the bigs and attacked the boards in a major way, his ability to push the break gave his team many opportunities to score before the defense set up. His skill and hard nosed approach led the way for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
