<p>Here are the prospects that stood out on Sunday:</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2881545' first='Tayshun' last='Walker'], PeakX 17U: Walker is a 5-foot-10 point guard that's going to play hard on both ends of the floor on every possession. That's what he did in a 62-51 win over Team Birmingham Wildcats. Walker, who finished with 15 points, picked up 94 feet, deflected passes, scored in transition, and made shots from the perimeter. He's a fierce competitor that's going to compete each time he steps onto the floor. Walker plays to win.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2815276' first='Jamarrion' last='Grimes'], PeakX 17U: The 6-4 forward was active on the glass against Team Birmingham Wildcats. Grimes, who led the team with 16 points, attacked the rim each time the team got out in transition. He did a great job finishing at the rim through contact. Grimes showed his range by displaying his ability to make shots from 15-feet out. He was a beast on Sunday.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2393889' first='Lincoln' last='Tummel'], Tennessee Travelers 17U: Tummel was needed on Sunday, especially after his team got down early against Each1Teach1. In the second half, Tummel made big 3s to keep his team competitive and within striking distance. The Travelers came up short, 74-72, but Tummel, a 6-4 wing, displayed his shooting ability. Thanks to his efficiency, Tummel is valuable on the floor in critical minutes. He's an asset. Tummel belongs on the court.</p>

<p>Matthew Dickens, Tennessee Travelers 17U: Like Tummel, Dickens played a pivotal role in helping his team come close to getting a win against a really good shooting team in Each1Teach1. Dickens, a 6-0 guard, is shifty and a good ball handler to get past his defender. Dickens scored at the rim and from the perimeter on Sunday. He attacked the rim in transition. He kept battling even when his team was facing a double-digit deficit. Dickens is a talented guard in the upcoming senior class. He should be on everyone's radar moving forward.</p>
