S7/NLI Stock Up

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>June 12-14 I attended the prestigious&nbsp;<strong>Section-7</strong>&nbsp;located at the Arizona Athletic Grounds in Mesa and June 26-28 I attended the inaugural&nbsp;<strong>Nevada Live Invitational&nbsp;</strong>at the Las Vegas Basketball Center. They are two premier live periods for college coaches to evaluate the HS players to potentially receive offers.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We will go over multiple categories of the 112 players and move over to </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">S7/NLI Stock Up</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2146269' first='Daijon' last='Grayson'] Mesa&nbsp;(Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A hyper athletic PG who plays way above the rim on the break and he is top-notch on-ball defender. He handles contact quite well after he bursts past his initial defender and can fall away from his opponent from mid-range or hit the occasional three. He will often blow by his opponents and dunk it with unmatched speed on the break. He will score with floaters and has a nice layup package. He also made some nice bounce passes in stride showing off court vision. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2552733' first='Donovan' last='Palmer'] Sunnyslope</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized power forward with soft hands, a motor and skill. He is a good passer for position and plays a smart brand of ball. He uses his big mitts and motor to rebound and scores it every way. He will cut off the ball, score with tip-ins, up and unders, drop steps, reverse layups, hook shots and has advanced post footwork with good hands and feet.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3548448' first='Mmesoma' last='Ndubisi'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A stronger framed power forward who loves to get downhill. He will rip thru and will explode up with his twitch to dunk the ball way above the rim. He uses his frame and length to rebound and he is a capable three point shooter. He also moves well in space.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2276245' first='Nizir' last='Cannady'] AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure point guard made some money during Section-7. He guided the team when he came in off the bench and made players around him better and did his job at a high level with assists after blowing by his defenders in the paint and finding someone open. He also scored it with threes off the catch and quick bursts in the lane or got fouled.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3241080' first='Hassan' last='Abdulkadir'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong framed post player was one of the most productive post players I viewed in the prep division. He carves out space with his girth and plays with a huge motor to grab rebounds in and out of his area. He will score with hook shots, offensive rebound put backs and dunks. He will even step out and shoot the three with some consistency and holds his ground in the post on defense.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2975471' first='Kur' last='Lual'] AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long wing forward with great length to stay active on the glass and keeps balls alive. He can make plays and move well in space. He is a quick dunker and a great rebounder and always seems to be around the basket when the ball goes up.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3361138' first='Gabe' last='Tucker'] Gilbert</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A two-way point guard can facilitate, defend and score. He gets into the lane and will find teammates in stride and can take it to the basket in heavy traffic to score. He has very quick feet and hands to disrupt the opposing guards.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2735690' first='Tyrone' last='Kelley'] Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quick scoring lead guard who can play some on or off the ball. He can score it with off the dribble threes (gets hot quickly), tear drops after a quick dribble drive and changes speeds to get his defender off of him to the basket. He can play off of the pick and roll game and find the teammate. He is good in transition and he may be undersized but has quick feet to defend.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3351867' first='Jewel' last='Brunston'] Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A true glue player who plays the 3-5 for the team. He moves well in space to defend smaller guards and wings but has the size and length to defend opposing post players. He sets picks and rolls and rebounds in and out of his area. He will score it primarily around the rim and can seal his man for hook shots with his dominant left hand and score with layups.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
