A-Town Showdown: Saturday 17U Top Performers

AJ is a serious stock riser heading into his senior season. With Camden Elite, he showcased his diverse skillset, hanging 28 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. Levros is a difficult cover. The lefty stretches the floor with his three-point shot and ball handling. He sank a pair of threes and two mid-range shots, one coming off the bounce with a hand in his face. When he was on the block, Levros loved to quick-spin baseline. When that wasn't there, he used dropsteps to get to his hook shot. AJ looks like a legit D-II target with upside. Expect him to cement himself as one of the best prospects South Georgia has to offer his senior season.     An unsigned senior, Mitchell checks a lot of boxes, especially with his physical gifts. Timbo jumps out of the gym, an electric athlete with pogo stick bounce. He's got great speed in the front court, thriving in transition. Mitchell likes to attack the rim, knowing his strength comes 10-feet and in. His quick second leap lets him live on the offensive glass. He scored on five putbacks in a 76-64 win over Camden Elite. While he left too many points at the line (4-10), Timbo still dominated with 18 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Mitchell feels like an interesting JUCO candidate with the chance to blossom at the next level.     Following a quiet first half, Denson took over with 17 points after halftime to turn a four-point deficit into a 12-point win. Bryson attacked out of high ball screens. He liked to shoot the three over top of the screen but also was able to find rollers. His decision making of when to take it himself vs. when to facilitate led to crucial buckets during [program_tooltip program_id='2076509' first='Rome' last='Elite']'s second half surge. A physically strong guard, Bryson explodes downhill and utilizes his balance to get to his spots. He splashed three threes and went 5-6 from the foul line to finish with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. After winning Region Player of the Year, his stock continues to grow.       Smooth, effortless scorer with his accurate jumper. Pours in points in bunches as he is able to explode to the rim to finish through contact. Buried three threes en route to 26 points, 6 rebounds and 1 steal in a win over Team IBA. Big future ahead.     2026 6-3 W Jeremiah Pearson – GCPC Stars Unique game for his size, Jeremiah is a burly multidimensional player who can play 1-5. He does well using his strength to defend inside and on offense, uses his frame and nimble feet to attack off the dribble spinning off defenders on his way to the hoop. Powerful rebounder is a threat to go coast-to-coast. Posted 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists in a win.       I like how vocal DeCarlo is. He leads with his knowledge and by example. Dickerson is highly competitive. He probes the defense looking to make things happen. He's quick to the rim but the lefty can stop on a dime for pull-ups. He drilled a pair of threes serving as a bright spot against GCPC, finishing with 16 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
