Around the Circuits: Versatile 2029’s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The weekend of April 24-26th I attended the <strong>Adidas 3SSB Session-1</strong> at Ladera, California and watched two other circuits online with the <strong>New Balance </strong>and <strong>Under Armour Association</strong> Circuits.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were some of the Versatile 2029's that I viewed</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2953319' first='Keith' last='Harrison'] Maryvale (Tucson Spartans 15 UA Rise)&nbsp;(Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long defensive minded wing who plays the passing lanes and will dunk it on the break with his bounce and twitch. He is very good in transition and will score it effectively near the basket. His length and athleticism allows him to grab rebounds in and out of his area and he is a quick second and third jumper. He can also rip thru and score with either hand and throw it down.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2759176' first='Trevin' last='Davis'] Liberty (Dream Vision 16 3SSB)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical framed wing with good size is playing up and holding his own on the tough circuit. He will hit the three and score with and-1's thru the contact. He can score with lob dunks or catches and crow hop downhill with a nice touch. He can defend from inside and out. If he keeps growing, I can see him becoming a tough face-up 4-man with wing skills.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3142053' first='Jesse' last='Onuh'] Liberty ([program_tooltip program_id='2076421' first='Factory' last='AZ'] 15)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic wing who is a defensive minded player. He can pick his opponents pockets and rebounds well. He scores with long strides to get to the basket and if he gets a step on his defender and he will finish off tough layups in the lane. He is also slowly extending his shooting range to the three point line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2575862' first='AJ' last='Jabateh'] Bella Vista Prep ([program_tooltip program_id='2075793' first='Arizona' last='Select'] 15 UAA)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger wing forward who loves getting downhill in traffic with his left hand. He is a strong two-handed rebounder and then can push the pace. He will play the give and go game and then take long swooping strides with his dominant left hand for tough layups.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3457363' first='Jacob' last='Jensen'] Willow Canyon ([program_tooltip program_id='2075793' first='Arizona' last='Select'] 15 UAA)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger wing forward who affects the game in many ways. He can scores with threes off the catch, ball fake into a contested layup with his nice handle, iso and get downhill and score it off the glass and defend multiple positions. He also sees the court well and he is slowly figuring it out.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3174403' first='Peter' last='Hiadzi'] Tucson (Tucson Spartans 15 UA Rise)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong power forward scores it effectively in the paint with his stronger hands and uses his frame, girth and size to gain position. He works baseline and will go to work as he can bully his opponents. He keeps balls alive on the glass and will grab it with one hand as he is boxing him man out or two-hands leaping up. He will also block shots near him.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3596917' first='Josiah' last='Miller'] Sabino (Tucson Spartans 15 UA Rise)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An active power forward who keeps attacking the glass and will grab balls out of his area. He will score with offensive rebound put backs, floaters, rip thrus with his right, layups with soft hands to catch tough passes and runs the floor well. He is also fluid in space to defend and a sneaky good passer.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2956985' first='Elijah' last='Antoine'] Maryvale (Tucson Spartans 15 UA Rise) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger guard is long in the passing lanes and will lead to dunks on the break. He will make plays with skip passes unselfishly and finds teammates in tighter spaces but can score. He has a polished mid-range pull-up and can crossover into a shot or dribble drive to the basket. He takes very few steps to get to the rim and often can see him going coast to coast and will hit the three.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2812700' first='Thiago' last='Esquivel'] Maryvale (Tucson Spartans 15 UA Rise)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scrappy undersized point guard is tough on the ball defensively to collect steals. He is very fast on the break and will score with run out layups and takes long step thrus to the basket to score. He also made some fancy passes in the lane to his bigs and will throw up the court passes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
