Tom's Overall Pitt Jam Fest Standouts

These were five prospects who really stood out to me over my three days at the Hoop Group Pittsburgh Jam Fest.    Starks is a prospect who buys into being a true four man and has no problem doing the dirty work on the interior. He was in spots on the floor to come up with easy rebounds. He uses his length on both ends of the floor. He also made others better with his passing finding teammates for scoring chances. Griffin plays with a good motor. Starks scored in a plethora of ways around the bucket. He was also able to score at the foul line. He continues to develop with experience. He is a prospect who will be flooded with high major recruitment in the next several months.     Egbuonu showcased the ability to do everything for his BABC squad. He used his strength to bully his way to different spots on the attack. He showed that he could stretch the floor with his shot making from three. Egbuonu has the instincts to score the basketball at any given time when he is on the floor. He lets the game come to him naturally. He did a good job of filling the lane in transition. He plays with an assertive motor and can guard a slew of different positions. His length allows him to alter shots, cause congestion and gather steals. He also has some pop as an athlete. Egbuonu is a prospect who should have a slew more high major schools get involved with him over the next several months.     Awaka is a space eater who takes away so much in and around the paint. He uses his strength to get good positioning inside to score offensive chances. He also did a good job of finding his teammates for scoring chances of their own. Awake was a frequent customer at the foul line converting often from the charity stripe. He was also able to alter several shots and save a few scoring chances with his ability to protect the rim.     Antoniacci continues to blossom on the big stage, no moment was too big for the Freshman who was playing two divisions up. He was comfortable getting to an array of different spots off the dribble. He scored several shots from behind the arc. He frequently was able to make decisons on the move when he was on the attack. Antoniacci doesn't get sped up and plays at his own pace. I like how he plays even keel throughout the game. He showed that he could find his teammates regularly for scoring chances. He is tracking as one of the best guard prospects in the state for his class.     Webb is an athletic specimen who made a living playing above the rim. He scored at will and would get a bucket in a matter of seconds. He showed some flashes from behind the arc. Webb also hit a few tough shots throughout the game. His length and athleticism showcase his defensive versatility. He found ways to get rebounds. The biggest thing for him is to keep stacking good days and continue to have consistent play. He is tacking as a division one prospect with continued development and production.
