Made Hoops East Warm Up Eye-Catchers P3

These were a few upper northeast prospects who caught my attention at Made Hoops East Warm Up at Spooky Nook.    Upchurch did a good job contributing in all facets of the game. His small stature lets him wiggle to different spots off the bounce with ease. He is a frequent paint toucher when going downhill. He showed that he could find his teammates for scoring looks of their own. Upchurch also scored the ball in different ways throughout the day. He did job of playing at different gears. Upchurch motored to spots coast to coast on the attack. I was impressed that Upchurch didn't let the ball stick to his hands that much in prior viewing experiences that was one of his weaknesses I thought. He has great spring in his step which allows him to be very agile. Upchurch would be a great late pickup at the small college or junior college level.     Johnson impacted the game on either end of the floor In different ways. He showed he could score the ball in a matter of seconds. He came up with rebounds. Johnson was able to push the ball coast to coast with ease. He has a good blend of size and strength. Johnson finished with authority above the rim. He has an aggressive motor that seemed to be everlasting throughout the game. Johnson flashed with his ability to stretch the floor from behind the arc. He is one of the best freshmen prospects in the entire ti-state area.     Ousmane is an athletic hybrid post who showed frequently that he is a threat to space the floor. If his feet are set from deep there's a high percentage he is converting on his shot. He is a switchable defender who can guard a multitude of positions. Ousmane is a threat to play out of the two man game and is an effective screen & roller while having great chemistry with his guards. He would be a great late add at the scholarship level where he could see early time due to his 2-way versatility.     Burrell provided a nice spark for his 6th Boro team. He did a little bit of everything with his play. Burrell played on or off the ball. He was a viable plug in play option at the lead guard spot. He is a smooth shooting southpaw with a green light release. He did a good job playing the two man game with his post players in the half-court. Burrell put a body on defenders and has good boxouts. He was in passing lanes on the defensive end. Burrell also did a good job of sharing the rock. He is a prospect who should see traction at the high academic level and at the division 2 level.     Washington is a tweener power guard who showcased his scoring dexterity. He is a mismatch nightmare because he can play inside and out. Not many 15u players can battle his physical intangibles and bruises his way to paint touches effortlessly. He was in good spots on the floor to get rebounds. His play was a bright spot for his Expressions 15u team. He is a prospect I look forward to tracking over the coming years.
