Western PA Breakouts To Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Pittsburgh Jam Fest is one of the most exciting events on the East Coast AAU circuit. Each year, hundreds of the top prospects in the Northeast and Rust Belt states converge at the David Lawrence Convention Center in the heart of the Steel City. Today we look at a few players from the region to watch this weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1187880' first='Damon' last='Curry']</strong> | F | Franklin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top 2024s in the Northwestern portion of Pennsylvania. He's become a well balanced scoring machine over the last year. He's got the ability to finish at the rim but is also a very good three point shooter with range well beyond the arc. Curry can handle the ball well and also passes it at a high level. He can create second chances on the glass with his size and strength. He's a scholarship level player running with the PK Flash this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1188607' first='Jayden' last='Davis']</strong> | G | Chartiers Valley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top guards in Western PA for the 2025 class, Davis will be playing up with the PK Flash this weekend. Crossing 1,000 points as a sophomore is an impressive feat and Davis is a bigtime scorer who can hit at multiple levels. A solid ballhandler who can also facilitate for teammates, he's got lead guard ability. A nice first step and jumper. He'll have eyes on him this weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ian Herring</strong> | G | Kiski School</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'5" Herring is off the radar from the Pittsburgh media as he plays for the exclusive Kiski School. An athletic guard who has nice moves getting to the rim. He's also got the ability to hit from deep. Confident with the ball in his hands and a very active defender. Pittsburghers should get to know his name and find their way to KP next season, as he's a solid player featuring against elite competition nightly. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1188638' first='Brady' last='Mayo']</strong> | G | Beaver </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A guard who played a nice supporting role to the seniors on a Beaver team that played at a high level all season, he's going to be the focus of the program the next two years. He's got a solid understanding of the game and can run an offense. He's got scoring ability in the paint with either hand off the dribble and can also step back at hit shots beyond the arc. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1188064' first='Ty' last='Iwanonkiw']</strong> | F | North Allegheny</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6'10" big with an expanding skillset who can dominate in the paint with good moves on the block. As a benefit, he's also got the ability to extend and hit shots from beyond the three point line. He's added strength from his sophomore year. He's got a good move to hit fadeaways over defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
