Space City Collision: Built for Buckets Breakout Stars

This article will be a continuation of my Space City Collision coverage on Saturday afternoon. Several players in the 17u session made their way onto my radar during the showcase games and they established themselves as breakouts during the weekend. Space City Collision served as a platform for both new hoopers and familiar faces to make themselves known to spectators, opposing teams, and media alike.    Dixon uses athleticism and leaping ability to soar above the rim on both defense and offense for finishing oops and blocking shots in the paint. Bryas showed that he can handle pressure in crunch situations and converted several mismatches in the paint for easy buckets to give 1 Nation 17u the momentum. His hustle for loose balls and second chance rebounds helped to keep his team in the lead and prove that he is a formidable post presence to be reckoned with. Dixon has recently committed to SWCC and continues to boost his stock.     Michael is a physical forward that can play the four and five slots under the basket for CenLa Hoops. LaCour has no problem sacrificing his body to get second chance opportunities for his team as they battle to gain momentum, especially taking pride on the defensive side of the court. He has surprising speed for his size and fills lanes in transition as he showcases good jumping ability at the basket and displays a strong frame when battling other post players for position.     Charles Ewing is a smart and shifty guard for [program_tooltip program_id='2461615' first='L3' last='Elite'] out of Dekaney HS who facilitates at a high level but is capable of scoring from anywhere on the floor. His unselfishness creates for everyone on the floor and opens up scoring opportunities for [program_tooltip program_id='2461615' first='L3' last='Elite']. His calm under pressure in primetime situations makes him very valuable to his team and he shows that he can be counted upon to close out games.     Carter is one of those two-way guards that every coach wants to have on their team who makes winning plays no matter if he has the ball or not. He can score from all three levels and always gives 110% effort on hustle and defense, never taking a possession off. Savoy is a hustle player who is capable of getting a defensive stop on one end and taking it coast to coast and scoring on the other side of the ball.     Lincoln is one of the best hybrid players in attendance at Space City Collision and he can either take it to the paint against multiple defenders or pull up from jumpers in long range or midrange scenarios. Jae'qurian showcases himself as a versatile player with his ability to handle the ball as a tall guard/wing and this allows him to create space for himself off of smaller defenders and take advantage of perimeter mismatches. He displays defensive prowess by showing good timing with his leaping ability to block shots and secure clutch defensive rebounds.
