AOG’s Cactus Classic Battle of the Brands All-Tourney First Team

From Saturday April 25th to Sunday April 26th i was able to attend the AOG's Cactus Classic Battle of the Brands in Phoenix Arizona at The PHHacility.   I was able to view 6+ games a day and over 10 Teams through the 2 days. I seen the talent pool from 17U-15U from multiple different shoe circuits. Players mentioned are only from the teams I viewed and assessed from the 1to 3 times I seen them play.   I Put the players in 6 top teams of 6 players each.   First Team    Marquice is an elite point forward that is just scratching the surface. He is Great space creator and will use bumps and his elite foot work to create space. He is a great ball handler and decision maker with high IQ. Marquice has elite catch and shoot ability from three with a smooth looking jumper. Defensively he has good hands on and uses length to poke the ball away for breakaway dunks. Marquice is a great communicator on both sides of the floor. Marquice is a premier wing in Arizona and will start to gain recognition on the national level with the big summer he will have.     Jakyi is the ultimate scoring guard that is a matchup nightmare. He has a elite handle with a quick first step and a next level burst of speed. He likes to break down defenders and rise up to hit his quick midrange pullups. Jakyi is a tough shot maker and will consistently hit shots in the face of defenders. He uses a array of moves like sidesteps, step backs and pullups in transition to score from beyond the arc. with Jakyi's combination of athleticism, skill, footwork and IQ it allows him to be a legit next level prospect separating him from the rest.     Dewey is a pure scoring guard with a beautiful jumper. He was a problem for defenders all weekend and would score from all over the court. He displayed his elite shooting from the outside and would hit three's off the dribble, catch and from NBA range. He has a sweet pull up jumper in the midrange. Dewey gets down hill with a quick burst of speed and can finish with finesse around the rim by manipulating the ball of the glass. He also has a sweet float game in the lane and his game is all brought together with his smooth handle and IQ.     Kyle is a strong forward that can dominate the inside. He has a nice inside game and will out physical defenders. He has polished post moves and uses his elbows to seal defenders. Kyle is a strong finisher that can get through contact and finish for and 1's . He has a Nice mid range spot up and can even stretch the floor from three. Kyle's best quality is his motor on the glass where he looks like a man amongst boys Despite being undersized in the post.     Terrance plays a point forward type role with factory. he is a big wing with a shifty handle that can get to his spots in the midrange area. He uses his size and footwork to his advantage. He has improved his passing ability's since i seen him last. He gives good entry passes to the post and will drops off no look dimes to big men in the lane. He has become a great drive and kick man and will causes the defense to collapse with the gravity he holds on the court. He has great timing on his blocks as sent away the ball at the rim showcasing his athleticism. Terrance looks to have a huge summer as his role will grown in the AIA as Sandra Day exits 3 D1 wings.     Isaiah is a big framed guard with a super high IQ. He gets down hill and will bump defenders to finish physical at the bucket. Isaiah stays patient and makes the right passes and never gets flustered when handling the ball. He is able to break down defenders and hit the a pull up middy. He has a nice and relaxed shot from the outside and is money off the catch. He is a great passer and starts the fast break off the rebound. Defensively he reads passing lanes and racked up multiple steals. The number one point guard in his class is primed for a huge summer.
