DMV Live 2: VA Standouts (Part 2)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Session two of the DMV Live took place last weekend, featuring even more teams ranging from Pennsylvania to NC and everywhere in between. There were hundreds of college coaches in attendance, the atmosphere was electric and the games were fantastic with a February vibe to them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at part 2 some of the VA standouts from the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2301294' first='Akim' last='Iscandari'] | 6'1” PG | Potomac School 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Iscandari was very impressive for this up and coming Potomac School squad, as he's emerging into one of the top guards in the DMV in his class over the past year or so. He's a big time athlete who has blazing speed with the ball in his hands and can blow by defenders, he's a very good playmaker with his ability to touch the paint and read rotations to find his teammates and he sets the tone on the defensive end with his hounding on ball defense. He finished the session averaging 20 points, 7.3 assists to just 2 turnovers, 4.3 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game while shooting 50% from the field and 84.2% from the line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2612827' first='Logan' last='Jones'] | 6'6” | WF | Potomac School 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones is another very impressive prospect for this group who is starting to make his mark in the DMV and is one that college coaches should get to know sooner rather than later. While he's the tallest player on his team he has clear translatable skills to play on the wing in college, he has great size and is a big time athlete, he can handle it and make shots on the perimeter and he plays with a great motor on both ends of the floor. He finished the session averaging 16 points and 12 rebounds per game, and still has a lot of room to get better moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1546447' first='Ryan' last='Crotty'] | 6'4” WG | Miller School 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2222343,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Crotty-Ryan.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Crotty-Ryan.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2222343" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crotty missed session one with a minor ankle injury but came back for session two with a herd of coaches following him and showed why he's been one of the biggest stock risers of the summer. He's one of the best shooters in the country and that's no exaggeration which he proved at the event, knocking it down from well beyond the NBA line, showing he can do it off the catch and off the bounce while also showing his toughness competing on both ends and playing through some pain. He finished the session averaging 19.8 points and 4 rebounds per game while shooting 38.6% from deep on 44 attempts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1259633' first='Elijah' last='Kelly'] | 6'7” WF | Miller School 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2450753,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/tempImageOVbde6.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/tempImageOVbde6.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2450753" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kelly was limited to just one game in session two as he was dealing with a serious ankle injury, but in that game he played well as he was able to slide into his more comfortable role as the second option and elite glue guy. The 6'7” wing even when hampered showed his athleticism and versatility on both ends of the floor, he was efficient as a scorer and showed his ability to get to the rim off the bounce, he rebounded well and made plays for others. He finished 13 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists on 5-for-9 shooting from the field in their win over St. Stephen's St. Agnes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1494120' first='Everett' last='Jones'] | 6'3” PG | Flint Hill 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1470083,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Jones-Everett-Head-Shot.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Jones-Everett-Head-Shot.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1470083" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a decent showing in session one, Jones played extremely well in session two as Flint Hill's floor general and stat sheet stuffer leading them to a 2-1 record on the weekend. He set the tone on both ends of the floor handling pressure on the offensive end while providing it on the defensive end, he touched the paint and made great reads and set his teammates up, he rebounded very well showing a great motor and he scored it efficiently from all over the court. He finished the session averaging 19.7 points, 9 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 2 steals per game with insane shooting splits of 64.7%/46.2%/81.8% and an 11-5 ATO ratio.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2242418' first='Jack' last='Lloyd'] | 6'5” C | Flint Hill 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lloyd was great in session one, and he followed it up with another impressive showing in the two games he played in session two as well. He's such a mismatch at this level as he may be a tad undersized but he's strong and knows how to clear out space in the paint, he shoots it very well from deep to stretch the defense, he has a good understanding of spacing and how to move off the ball and he understands his role and plays to it. He finished the session averaging 18.5 points and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 8-for-12 from behind the arc.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1370511' first='Frank' last='Siaca-Bey'] | 6'8” C | Fairfax Christian 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2337401,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Siaca-Bey-Frank-crop-3226x2118-1706680439.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Siaca-Bey-Frank-crop-3226x2118-1706680439.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2337401" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Siaca-Bey was a standout in session one showing a lot of improvement particularly on the offensive end, and he showed it was no fluke as he was one of the most productive players in the entire event in their two games in session two. He's come a long way with his expanding his game as he showed great moves and touch in the mid-post area hitting turnarounds and working out of face ups, he attacked the glass on both ends of the floor, he used his size to finish in traffic and even showed some range on the jumper as well. He finished the session averaging 24 points and 9.5 rebounds per game while shooting 70.4% from the field and 90% from the line, and he had an impressive 27 points and 14 rebounds in their win over Loyola-Blakefield.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
