<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I attended the second game of peach jam on Wednesday and in this article I'll break down my top performers from the day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2478483"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a58218eccf69"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The top scorer on the EYCL circuit, Montgomery has seen his stock soar this summer as he also won a gold medal with Team USA. Montgomery led AOT from the EYCL to the PIT and he continued his dominant scoring ways with effortless buckets. Moving differently than anybody else on the court, Montgomery is able to fly around in transition and live above the rim. Finishing with a double-double in a win on efficient shooting, Montgomery continues to prove himself against top talent. Incredible summer for him as he stayed loyal to his program and developed for a team that wanted to feature him as the main guy on their team. One of the top stock risers in the country, Montgomery is due for a massive rankings bump both in Georgia and nationally after the summer concludes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194315"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a581b1f3c5d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A dominant performance by Johnson offensively helped Team Herro fight off Vegas Elite in a battle of 1-0 teams on Wednesday evening. Johnson hit some clutch shots down the stretch for his team as his burst, body control and tempo makes him an extremely tough cover with the ball in his hands. Finishing with a game-high 22 points on 9/19 shooting, Team Herro looked at Johnson when they needed to create offense and he came up big in key spots. I think Team Herro has a real chance to win the whole thing with Johnson running the show.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194891"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5813666ef66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The engine behind the top EYBL team, Daughtry had 23 points at halftime and finished with 34 points on 12/16 from the field and a perfect 8/8 from the foul line. Daughtry applies so much pressure on the defense when he has the ball in his hands and relentlessly attacks the rim. No team in the country does as well at pushing the tempo after steals, rebounds and even made shots than the Florida Rebels and a lot of the credit to that is because Daughtry never lets the defense get set and comfortable. While Prep Hoops is currently higher than the rest of the industry in Daughtry nationally, he could be set for a rankings increase during the next update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2646501"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5813666efb1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The performance of the day came from Bowman Jr as he scored 10 points in the final 30 seconds of the game as he almost fueled Team WhyNot to an improbable comeback. Bowman Jr has been maybe the biggest 17 U stock riser so far this weekend as his combination of athleticism, strength, perimeter shooting and passing has allowed him to dominate through two games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2436946"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5813666effd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A monster performance for Williams as he's fit right in with Team CP3 playing up at the 17 U level of the EYBL. Williams was a perfect 13/13 from the foul line as he was hit on a few jumpers and wanted the ball late in the game to ice it from the foul line. A professional scorer, Williams just has a knack for finding holes in the defense, acrobatically finishing at the rim and knocking down perimeter shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2878774"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5813666f022"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peagler Jr has had a monster start to Peach Jam with 32 points in a win on Tuesday and another impressive performance on Wednesday. Lightning fast with the ball in his hands, Peagler Jr is a blur from end to end and showed finishing ability with each hand on Wednesday. When Peagler Jr is knocking down 3-point shots he is extremely tough to stop and has been one of the most consistent scoring threats at the 15 U level on the EYBL this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2574808"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5813666f044"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">AZ Unity 15 U had three guys in double figures and I decided to spotlight Gony as the long power forward had a nice game scoring on the interior and rebounding the basketball. The size and length of Az Unity 15 U held their opponents to 25% from the field in the first half on Wednesday as their defensive identity is what makes them tough to beat. As a team, Az Unity finished with eight blocks and nine steals with Gony contributing one apiece. With their defensive talent and depth, Az Unity 15 U look like a real contender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
