Bash In the Desert: 17U Prospects Who Impressed

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article I feature twenty-eight of the top prospects that I view in the 17U Division at the Prep Hoops Bash in the Desert. I have divided them into six different categories. Including: "Playmakers", "Versatile Scorers", "Interior Forces", "High Level Shooters", "Tough Combo Guards", and "Bouncey Athletes".</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Considering the skill amongst these players, it wouldn't be surprising if many of them continued to impress the rest of the AAU Circuit. I will be providing more in depth evaluations in separate articles in the week or so. As many of these prospects showed real flashes of high-level upside, athleticism, scoring ability, IQ, and instincts that should continue drawing attention from scouts and college coaches. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Playmakers </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2374248' first='Dashaun' last='Harris'] - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2370259' first='Terry' last='McKinney III'] - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2194481' first='Justin' last='Kimbrough'] - Oakland Soldiers </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2717233' first='Travon' last='Darby'] - UH Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1720212' first='Ladell' last='White Jr'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2076648' first='Peak' last='Basketball'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Versatile Scorers </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140875' first='Demarcus' last='Henry'] - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shalen Sheppard - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2758274' first='Mateen' last='Cleaves Jr'] - Oakland Soldiers </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2039513' first='DJ' last='Spencer'] - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Interior Forces </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ethan Hill - Oakland Soldiers </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kyle Sanders - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Isaiah Akuwe - Sequoia National </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ryder Malm - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2513390' first='Barron' last='Rygiel'] - UH Elite Blue </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Karmello Walker - Area Code Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>High Level Shooters </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1546987' first='Adan' last='Diggs'] - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2276224' first='Tre' last='Wilkins'] - UH Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jalen Parker - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tough Combo Guards </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2915923' first='Cameron' last='Anderson'] - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2386978' first='Jaydon' last='Hayes'] - Oakland Soldiers </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1555181' first='Adrian' last='Higuera'] - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kington Montague - Oakland Soldiers </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Josiah Nance - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Bouncey Athletes </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2249943' first='Lleyton' last='Leonard'] - Oakland Soldiers </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davey Harris - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2975471' first='Kur' last='Lual'] - Vegas Elite </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2450360' first='Noah' last='Grossman'] - Vegas Elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ja'mir Smith - [program_tooltip program_id='2076648' first='Peak' last='Basketball'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned for the more detailed articles that are on the way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
