PBC Fall League Wednesday Standouts

These were a few prospects whose game stood out Wednesday night at The PBC Fall League at Mt. Lebanon.    This was my first time getting to see Sheely play since the season due to him not playing in the grassroots season due to an injury. He looked like his vintage self scoring the basketball in a plethora of ways and using his strength to bully his way past defenders. He still shows that he can be a mainstay behind the arc with his ability to drill shots. Sheely has become more of a threat as a facilitator and has a great pulse on knowing how and when to find others for scoring opportunities. Sheely has transitioned nicely into a guard who play on or off the basketball.     Donovan is a sturdy scoring guard who is able just wear opposing defenses down with his nose to score grunge buckets. He has no issue throwing his frame around to get paint touches. He was in good spots to rebound. Donovan found ways to get to the charity stripe. He is at his best when playing in the half-court. Donovan does a nice job of not getting sped up and controlling the pace of the game when the ball is in his hands. He is a prospect who I see being a priority for small college programs.     Trklja is an unorthodox hybrid forward who plays with an immense deal of versatility whenever he steps onto the floor. He showed some flashes from behind the three point line and converted on several occasions. He can set up shop in many different areas on the floor and makes his a tough option to gameplan against. Trklja is effective driving to different spots off the bounce. His ability to be a set up man was seen often and recorded several assists. He had good timing going up to alter shots. He is a prospect who should garner attention from the division two programs.     Wetzel is an emerging center whose best ball is on the horizon. He eats up a ton of space with his length and is a real presence on the interior. He uses his soft hands to catch passes and has no problem finishing around the paint and can be a threat from the dunker spots. He has adequate timing when going up to alter shots. Wetzel has great chemistry with his guards and can operate well out off the two man game and rolls to the rim well. I would like to see him wall-up more as a defender. Wetzel is also an effective passer, He has all the tools to burst onto the scene this upcoming season and look forward to tracking his progress.      Jakupi is an offensive catalyst who finds the bucket in a slew of different ways. He does a nice job of breaking the game down and gets to different spots with ease. Jakupi found others for scoring chances of their own. I like how he can play either guard spot. He was also able to turn defense to offense. He is a player that needs to be on the radars of small college coaches in need of scoring.     Coffey impressed with how much of a pulse he had on the game for his Allderdice squad and was one of the main reasons they were able to secure a victory. He scored the basketball in an array of ways. Found teammates often for scoring chances. Coffey used his close proximity to the ground to get steals effortlessly. I like how he had his fingerprints on all facets of the game for his team. He would be a great pickup at the small college level.
