[player_tooltip player_id='1486213' first='BJ' last='Brown'] was a bright spot in a tough weekend for [program_tooltip program_id='2078752' first='Upward' last='Stars 3SSB'] 17U. The team went 1-3 overall, but Brown was again their top perimeter shooter. He topped his Session One 3-point total (9) with 12 in Session Two, doing so efficiently on 21 attempts (57%). This included a 22-point performance on 6-10 shooting from behind the arc in the Stars' only win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1982890' first='Colt' last='Fowler'] - Fowler dramatically improved his Assist Per Game number taking it from 2.0 in Session One to 6.3 in Session Two, moving him into third place in the 16U Division. Also, Colt only averaged 1.7 Turnovers Per Game in Iowa. Fowler's best game from a statistical standpoint was the 87-60 win over Team Loaded South where he put up 8 points, 10 assists, and 0 turnovers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2450993' first='Aaden' last='Bruton-Smith'] - Because of his perimeter shooting ability, Aaden's big weekend can be partly credited to Colt's playmaking. Bruton-Smith was the team's second-leading scorer at 11.0 Points Per Game and shot the ball efficiently from three at 54.5%. Bruton-Smith is an excellent corner shooter, takes up great perimeter positions on the fast break, and affects the game on defense with his length.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2433116' first='Antoine' last='Caughman Jr'] - South Carolina's top Freshman made his official debut in the Adidas 3SSB League last weekend in Council Bluffs. Antoine led Upward Stars' 15U group at 15.8 Points Per Game and 4.5 Rebounds Per Game while shooting 10-20 from three. This displays that Caughman Jr is not only an excellent shooter, but he already possesses the traits to be a key contributor on both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2544211' first='JJ' last='Gray'] - After struggling in the opener, [player_tooltip player_id='2544211' first='JJ' last='Gray'] adjusted quickly to the level of play increasing his point total in each of the next three games. This peaked with 19 Points on 7-13 field goals and 4-9 3-point field goals in Game Four's loss to Indiana Elite. Gray has an elite scoring feel for his young age and paired with positional size to punish smaller guards, his future is extremely bright. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
