Pitt Jam Fest Additional Guard Standouts

Johnson Jr. impressed with his ability to play on or off the basketball. He finds ways to get move the ball to his teammates. He was a threat to hit shots off the ball as catch and shooter. He showcased his athleticism by playing around the rim. He was in the right spots on the floor to get rebounds. Johnson's length allows him to get steals and blocks. Johnson needs to continue to get stronger which will happen over time as his body keeps developing. In the last week Johnson has picked up two division one offers, he will see a lot more mid-majors get involved with his recruitment in the coming months.     Reid is a lead guard with great positional size. I like the pulse that Reid has on the game and is playing chess while everyone is playing checkers. He used his length to alter shots and collect rebounds. Reid impacted the game in all facets. He showed flashes from behind the arc as a shot maker. He does a good job using his angles and navigating to the bucket. He was effective changing gears on the attack. Hoping Reid can add more muscle to his frame in the coming years to make his transition to college easier.     Popette is a quick vintage NYC point guard who does a good job of setting the table. He moves the ball and doesn't let it stick to his hands. He is a frequent paint touch and does a good job of turning the corner. Popette thinks the game at a high level and reads and reacts to situations on the fly. He shows his expanded offensive scoring arsenal. He came up with steals on the defensive end.     Fernandez was a catalyst for scoring on the offensive end. He scored the basketball in a variety of ways. He scored the ball frequently from behind the arc. He is a bit of a tweener and can play mutliple positions. He showed flashes setting up others for success on offense.     Joy impacted the game in all facets with his play. He was relentless on the attack getting paint touches with ease. He scored around the bucket regularly. He was able to gets others involved. He also found ways to keep posessions alive with his hustle. Joy could improve from behind the arc he showed some flashes from there. I see Joy as a division two prospect and hope to see those schools get involved with him in the coming months.     Innocent is a sound guard who does a good job controlling the game. He continuously found ways to impact the game. He did a good job playing off of two feet when on the attack. Innocent turns the corner at an elite level. He has the ability to score a bucket in a blink of an eye. He scored the ball with ease around the paint. He hit a handful of shots from behind the arc. He used his quickness to come up with steals and turn defense to offense.
