My first stop of the month was the Big Shots Southeast Jam in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Check out these three Dynamic Backcourt Duos from Saturday at the Big Shots Southeast Jam: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1714850' first='Melachi' last='Singleton'] + [player_tooltip player_id='2400453' first='Kade' last='Taylor'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2246675' first='Charleston' last='Raptors'] 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Singleton and Taylor are first up on the list. They combined for some key offensive play in the Raptors' win over Fort Mill Force. Melachi put up 13 points, 6 assists, and 4 steals, making plays at both ends of the floor with his handle, vision, and strength. A product of his passing was Kade, who had 16 points on 4 3PM. However, Taylor is more than just a shooter. He made some plays with the ball in his hands too, reading defensive rotations to make the extra pass on the perimeter and at the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1489156' first='Rickey' last='Littlejohn III'] + [player_tooltip player_id='2419150' first='Parker' last='Watkins'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2417097' first='Team' last='Ish'] 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Littlejohn and Watkins is one of the top duos on the Puma NXT Pro Circuit and one that College Coaches should check in with this month. Rickey is a balanced Point Guard, capable of setting up teammates or getting his own bucket. He is good at speed, plays through contact, and is efficient in limiting turnovers and forced shots. Parker is an elite jumper shooter, a guy who can fill it up in a hurry with threes and mid-range jumpers. He was particularly effective inside the three-point line, slashing with several tough buckets. This duo combined for 39 points on 5 3PM in a win over Warriors Elite. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2456043' first='Isaiah' last='Addison'] + [player_tooltip player_id='2552933' first='JT' last='Brodowski'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2830220' first='Palmetto' last='Pride NXT Pro'] 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Addison and Brodowski might not have been the starting backcourt duo, but their combination played in a key role in the first half as the Pride built a big lead on West Virginia Reign. Their play styles are both scoring-minded, but Isaiah is a strong driver who plays with good bounce and likes to hit shots off the dribble at all three levels, while JT will spot up with catch-and-shoot threes or one to two dribble pull-ups. They each put up 15 points and added some nice defensive moments in the first-round win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
