MADE Hoops Summer Live: Primetime Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the grassroots season winds down, Made Hoops hosted a 2-part, 6 day event out in Harrisburg for their circuit. And with a lot at stake and college coaches watching, the real players showed up. Here are a few that performed in primetime:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1466555' first='Brandon' last='Ascione'] | 6'3 G 2025 York Ballers 17U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When facing NY Rens EYBL 16U, Ascione seized the moment with a barrage of big shots early on. He got going by knocking down a spot-up three, then he proceeded to drill two more in the first half, shooting off of movement. The closeouts Ascione drew allowed him to get into the second level for pull-up twos. The Boiling Springs marksman scored 14 points in the first half as the Ballers went on to win 69-41.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2421352' first='Malachi' last='Jeffers-Viera'] | 6'5 G 2026 [program_tooltip program_id='2078566' first='East' last='Coast Cyclones'] 16U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the 16U championship, Jeffers-Viera led his squad to the win with his play off- and on-ball. The Cyclones didn't have a full-time point guard, so he got himself going by throwing the ball to the mid-post before cutting backdoor for a lay-up. He complimented his off-ball movement with drives into the paint and shots off-the-catch. In the end, Jeffers-Viera played a well-balanced game with 16 points, 6 boards, 3 assists, and 2 steals.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2047551' first='Isaiah' last='Muhammad'] | 6'4 W/F 2025 [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] Black 17U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Final Black lost their first game on Saturday and took an early deficit in their afternoon game against Florida Select, until Muhammad got to cooking. The stretch forward popped 4 treys to pull his team out of their hole and push them up by almost 20 at halftime. He hit a catch-and-shoot from the corner, made a no-dribble pull-up, and relocated into the other two. Muhammad made a fifth three in the second half to help his team get the bounce back win.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2427983' first='Cole' last='Trn'] | 6'1 G 2027 [program_tooltip program_id='2428018' first='Sideline' last='Cancer'] 16U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trn isn't just a shooter, but he shot the cover off of the ball in SC's final game on Sunday against Team Melo MD23. Headed to Hill School in the fall, he drilled six triples on just nine or ten attempts. His teammates found him via their drive-and-kick game and got the ball to him while the defense was scrambling off of their offensive rebounds. He added in a putback, a middy, and a lay-up to lead the team with 24 points and 6 rebounds.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
