<p>The final day of the Mid-Atlantic Independent School Shootout was full of excitement as prospects did their best to try to help their teams win. The forward group had a strong day as they had made plays throughout the day. Here are the forward standouts from day 3 of the Mid-Atlantic Independent School Shootout.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1456812" first="Cyril" last="Martynov"], 6’11 PF Lawrenceville 2023</strong></p> <p>Martynov was a presence down low for the Big Red as opponents had problems stopping his length on the interior. The 6’11 forward ran the floor hard, setting himself up for easy buckets and dunks in transition. Martynov showed a decent face-up game as he was able to put the ball on the floor and get to the basket. He skied for rebounds on both ends of the floor and used his length to alter shots around the basket. Martynov is starting to see his name heat up and will rise up the board with a strong spring.</p> <p><strong>Maurice Vassel, 6’9 PF St. Benedict’s 2024</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1400487" first="Ladji" last="Dembele"] </strong>was the go-to guy for the Gray Bees this weekend, but that did not stop Vassel from having a strong day yesterday. The lanky 6’9 forward erased multiple shots around the rim and used his length on the defensive end to disrupt shots. Vassel played with more confidence on the offensive end as he finished nicely around the basket and drew contact. He fought for rebounds on both ends of the floor as he secured numerous offensive rebounds over the course of the day. Vassel has the potential to make noise this summer with his combination of size, length, athleticism and ability to finish around the basket.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1119114" first="Onyekachi" last="Nzeh"], 6’9 PF George School 2023</strong></p> <p>Nzeh had a strong outing as he manned the interior for the George School. The 6’9 forward used his body to get position down low and threw down a couple of highlight reel dunks. Nzeh was able to finish through contact around the basket and showed off a nice touch on his jumper as he knocked down a couple of shots from behind the arc. He ripped down rebounds on both ends of the floor and moved well off the ball. Nzeh is a physical forward prospect who knows how to finish above the rim.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1456843" first="Destine" last="Evans"], 6’6 SF/PF Pennington 2025</strong></p> <p>Evans had a standout game as he showed the potential to play either the three or the four. The 6’6 forward had a nice touch around the basket and was able to finish through contact around the basket. Evans has a solid face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and hit jumpers on the perimeter. He fought for rebounds on both ends of the floor and made plays on the defensive end. Evans is an intriguing forward prospect to watch this summer with his ability to impact the game in a number of ways.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1188210" first="Alassane" last="Amadou"], 6’9 PF SCH Academy 2023</strong></p> <p>Amadou had a good final day of the Mid-Atlantic Independent School Shootout as he affected the game in a variety of ways. The 6’9 forward rose above the above the rim for a couple of big-time dunks and finished nicely around the basket. Amadou hit a nice turnaround jumper and influenced shots on the defensive end with his combination of length and athleticism. He was vocal on the defensive end and was encouraging his teammates on the bench when he was subbed out. Amadou’s energy combined with his ability to make plays at both ends of the floor is something that will help his game in a big way this summer.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Other Prospects to Know:</strong></span></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1153953" first="Luke" last="Bevilacqua"], 6’11 PF/C George School 2025</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1123937" first="Isaac" last="Moore"], 6’6 SF/PF Friends Central 2024</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1379452" first="Andrew" last="Phillips"], 6’4 SF Malvern Prep 2023</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1402085" first="Mike" last="Ewing"], 6’5 SF Peddie 2023</strong></p> <p><strong>Adame Ouertani, 6’7 F Springfield Commonwealth Academy 2024</strong></p>
