Grit Region Finals: Teddy Saturday Morning Standouts

Here's a list of some notable standouts from 16U action at Fishers High School. This morning, most of my coverage was based on prospects outside of my home state, Illinois.    Martin's playing a year up on the [program_tooltip program_id='2471240' first='MR22' last='Elite'] squad based in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The first thing that stands out to me is his size. His 6'5” frame could allow him to definitely evolve into a D1/D2 prospect at the next level. In their opening contest, Martin showed no Marcy taking players 1v1 and attacking the rim. He also made several plays in transition and can finish inside with both hands.     He's a smaller point guard but was a big time playmaker for Phenom United. Crafty ball-handling allowed him to blow by opponents on numerous instances for easy finishes in the first half while also draining a contested 3-pointer to close out that period.  But his playmaking throughout the contest was at a whole new level. A true pass-first point guard who knew exactly what type of pass to make in every scenario. Making it easy for his teammates to score. I'd say he had at least 18-20 potential assists in their opening matchup.      He's a 6'2” PG that showed tons of confidence vs BTY. Started the game by burying a pair of 3's. Then showed aggression attacking the rim for a contested left-handed layup and a couple of drawn fouls. Converting almost all his chances from the free throw line in response. Defense stepped up as the game went on. Lengthy prospect forced lots of pick-ups as an on-ball defender. Also drew a foul in transition after picking up a steal.      Reppart had an impressive two-way performance vs Ft Wayne Believers. He freed himself up for a pair of catch-and-shoot 3's early on. Then carried that confidence over to the defensive end, where he forced a pair of turnovers and picked up a block in transition. Heated up again in the 2nd half with several more 3-pointers. Ultimately giving his team their first double- digit lead of the game. Midrange pull-up in the final few minutes. He appears to be an outstanding scheme fit for this group of players.      Region Force PG was excellent in a blowout win vs M14 (2). Putting up 16 points while being a playmaker on both ends of the floor. Really strong frame for a 6'2” Point Guard and was impressed with his ability to make long strides to the basket on offense. Finished through contact on numerous instances, too. He also created excellent transition opportunities from his defensive play.     Strong play from [player_tooltip player_id='2477119' first='Chase' last='Swafford'] sealed an opening round victory against Chicago Lockdown. He showed exceptional confidence driving the lane with a quick first step. He also created lots of plays in transition as both a passer and finisher. The best part about Ford is that he already has the physical tools to be a collegiate level guard. Scored 14 points in this game.     Shelton was a big factor for INB late in their contest vs Lockdown. Converted a key and-one in the final five minutes few minutes to help make it a two-possession game. Before that, Shelton showed he can score from all three levels. Hit an outside shot to start the game while also showing he can score attacking the lane. Physical prospect.     6'2” Michigan combo made their matchup with CGE a good one. Flashed outstanding three-level scoring abilities and looked so calm while hitting contested shots. Shot well off passes early on. But got more aggressive off the dribble in the 2nd half. Drew a foul from behind the arc in addition to a midrange jumper.
