<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>November 30th was a big day for high school basketball in Houston as the Texas Jamboree showcase took place on the campus of Episcopal High School. Many top-level prospects from other cities made their way down to showcase their talents and the matchups only got better as the day went on. Let's take a look at some key scorers for their teams, no matter the result of their games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2233784"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2692836,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675b9f84b0d90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2233784' first='KJ' last='Williams'] was the main scorer for his SA Harlan team as they took the win over Houston Christian on Saturday morning. Williams had a squad high 21 points and was scoring the ball in a variety of ways at will, driving to the paint and nailing tough jumpers over good defense. He displays calm and poise in crunch time, not changing his demeanor at all and remaining focused. KJ was probably one of the most impressive prospects I have watched so far this season, doing all the necessary things to help Harlan stay in games at all times. KJ is currently committed to UT Dallas and will look to make a mark at the college level next year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2692842,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Marwane Fadika ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Katy Jordan ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"TMA UA 2027 ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675b9f84b0e57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Marwane was a big-time floor general in Katy Jordan's early morning win during the Texas Jamboree to open up Saturday. Fadika had 17 pts and was the premier point guard of the offense. He was diming teammates up left and right, adding 6 assists to go along with his game high points. Marwane plays with a great pace, knowing how to use the tempo to benefit his team at all times and kept them out front in the lead all game. I was impressed with his hustle for loose balls as well, giving 100 percent effort every time he was on the floor. Big time prospect on the rise right here! Everyone needs to stay tuned. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2219497"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2692849,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675b9f84b0eb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2555147' first='Jaylon' last='Dean-Vines'] had a hot start to the evening primetime game for Dallas Kimball against CE King in enemy territory. Jaylon had 13 pts in the first half, and made his presence known in different ways during the second half of a statement victory. He was constantly getting to the rim and flying over the top of the defense to score the ball as well as keeping teammates involved by always making the extra pass when needed. Dean-Vines came away with 12 rebounds as well, notching a double-double in this crucial game. Jaylon is currently committed to Vanderbilt. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2556262"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2692856,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675b9f84b0f12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2382175' first='Xavier' last=''] was a key ballhandler and part of the offense for the Mustangs against SA Harlan early on Saturday. Gibbons came away with 14 pts in the loss, scoring from all three levels and demonstrating willingness to play any position his coach needed him to. The 2026 prospect was all over the floor and his hustle for loose balls was an important part of his team's ability to keep the gap close during the entire duration of the game. Look for [player_tooltip player_id='2382175' first='Xavier' last=''] to make huge strides this year if he continues playing at this level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
