Weekend Roundup: Sleepers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On a busy AAU weekend, I visited the Chosen Premiere's Sunny Days Tournament, along with Vegas Elite's exhibition games. Going all over the city to watch grassroots basketball opened up an opportunity for me to see a ton of players. Here's a look a some of the weekend's sleepers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1704338"],"_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_0_evaluation":"I've gotten an opportunity to see Borders a quite a few times recently. He must be putting in some work this Spring, because he's one of the most improved players I've seen since the end of the season. At times he can play anything from the 1, 2 or 3, showing an improved ability to dribble, pass and shoot. He showed off those skills last weekend at the April Bash. Word is he will be transfering to Green Valley, if he continues to improve his skills at this rate, look for him to make a real splash by the time the season rolls around.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1142271"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Taylor is a sleeper, only because he missed most of his high school season. He's a terrific on ball defender and he displayed it during the Sunny Days event, putting the clamps on opposing ballhandlers. He's more of a combo guard, but his ability to get paint touches and create, provided a glimpse of his point guard abilities.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1397784"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Rose has a chance to be a scholarship athlete. He shoots the ball at a high level, and does it from a varitety of ways. Rose was impressive coming off screens, and managed to use his threat of shot to knock down a few 1 and 2 dribble pull ups. The high academic player has a chance to be one of the top players in 3A moving into the season.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["986958"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Despite not knowing where he will end up next season, I'm pretty sure the big man will be a big factor somewhere. He's a hard hat glue guy that showed a little more mobility and faceup ability this weekend. He was rugged on the interior and although it's difficult for 6'6 players to be thought of as sleepers, the fact that he sat out last season earns him a spot in that category.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1667444"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"If he's not a sleeper, you can at least consider Nickerson a future playground level. He seems to show up and show out every time I seel him play. He's a dynamic scorer that can hit open shots, or create a bucket for himself. With the way he can score the ball, look for him to be one of the most improved players in the state next season.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646c03cb3b04d"} /-->
