Tipping off the West Coast Clash tournament tonight. BDH ELITE defeats ECBA Baskett 70-60 Friday night. A couple of high scoring guards in this one with plenty of other talented players. Here are some of your game changers from Friday night.
Zach was relentless attacking the basket with tough drives. Many of those he was able to absorb contact and get to the free throw line. He shot 6 freebies for his efforts and finished with 13 points. All his points came in the paint. He showed some nice spin moves and fade away jumpers. I was impressed with how hard he went at the defense and he kept on coming. I don’t know that he shot many outside the paint but was very effective getting to the rack. Tough player.
Highlights
He came out of the gates firing from long range, hitting a few threes in the opening minutes. He showed some of that deep range with the three point stroke. He finished with an unofficial 8 threes and 27 points. His range is unlimited and he possesses one of the nicest looking jumpers you’ll see. He can also attack the basket on the break or in the half court, something he will most likely do more of throughout the tournament. He’s a ticking time bomb ready to go off at any time.
He was the most skilled player in the game. That’s no knock on anyone else, he has elite skills with the ball in his hands. His pull-up jumper is notable as I have mentioned several times in articles. He is getting stronger and his ability to go by the defense and create for himself and his teammates was impressive. He had some moves in the paint where he dropped some nice dimes. He can get his own whenever he wants. He also had unlimited range and is a great shooter from three. The future is bright for him as a stock riser come next season. College coaches should take note.
Tough player who plays inside and out. He is tough in the paint and gets you rebounds. He made a couple threes. He did a bit of everything. He is physical inside and has a nice touch from three. He had an unofficial 12 points for BDH ELITE. He added a breakaway slam as well.
Quickness with the ball in his hands. He can and did get by the defense on several occasions. He is a strong guard who can take contact and finish at the rim. He is a low to the ground ball handling guard that was tough for the defense to stay in front. He also had some nice drive and kicks, and drop offs to the post. He is crafty, with a few great moves at the basket. He missed a few, just needs to keep the eye on the prize and cash in. He’s capable of doing that. He had 10 points unofficially and added a three to go with the tough drives.
Offensive rebounds and put backs, defensive rebounds. He is a tough one in the paint and got himself and his team extra possessions with his rebounding. I had him for 10 points, mostly at the rim off rebounds or a dish from one of his guards. He plays hard all the time and is a high energy player. A player you love having on your team.
