Show Me Showdown: Parham’s Sunday Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sunday was the last day of the Show Me Showdown in St. Louis. In this article we will target the top players from the day.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kameron House (TNBC) 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>House had one of the better performances of the weekend. Kam and his TNBC squad were down double digits for most of the game. His ability to shoot kicked in towards the end of the first half. At that point he made two triples to keep his team in the game. In the second half he would hit five threes two of them he was fouled on and completed four point plays. House gets his shot off without needing much space. He finished with 31 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Damien (DJ) Bolden (Chicago Grinders) 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bolden was having a strong showing before going down with a foot injury. DJ started the game with two big threes before he went into attack mode. Most of his scoring was at the bucket finishing with both hands in the lane. DJ is a very heady guard that makes adjustments on the fly. He was a big reason why his team was up big before his injury. He finished with 21 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1373448' first='Askia' last='Bullie'] (DTM Elite) 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bullie is an exceptional pass first guard who can score if needed. Askia racked up a lot of assists on fastbreaks due to the pressure defense his team plays. As much as he flourished in the open court Bullie proved he is good in pick/roll situations as he has good speed to get in the lane and score. Askia finished with 13 assists in a winning effort.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1439013' first='Julien' last='Doyle'] (The Work Foundation) 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Doyle took some time get going. But once he did he broke open the game for Work Foundation.&nbsp; Julien is an active wing who shoots it really well from the three. He has been consistent all weekend with his shot. What I saw this game was how well he crashed the boards on offense and scored a few buckets off missed attempts. Doyle finished the game with 25 points as he scored most of points in the second half&nbsp;making 3-4 from behind the arc.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bryant Hedrick (Chicago Demons)&nbsp; 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hedrick is a strong scoring guard that got to the rim often by turning the corner off ball screens and made tough shots look simple. Bryant has the ability to score from all three tiers on the court.&nbsp; If he's getting to the rim it is because he knows the defender can't stop him.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2105267' first='Dillon' last='Fountain'] (The Work Foundation) 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fountain works hard on both sides of the basketball. He's a player that has to generate points from his defense. Dillon is a pesky defender that covers ground using his speed and agility. His quick reflexes to get in passing lanes and score off fast breaks is remarkable as he always has his head on a swivel.&nbsp; Fountain also hit some shots when the game slowed down as he finished with 14 points and 4 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Shawn Donaldson (Chicago Grinders)&nbsp; 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Was very impressed with Donaldson's IQ while playing up a level on Sunday morning. Shawn moves the ball well as he gets it out quick on pitch ahead passes. This skill led to multiple buckets for the Grinders. Shawn is a heady guard that thinks the game and makes the people around him better. In the loss Donaldson was close to double-digit assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Martrell Britten (DTM Elite)&nbsp; 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Britten is a stronger guard who benefited a lot off his teammates particularly Bullie's ability to share the ball. Martrell scores a lot in transition taking the ball to the rim and shed defenders with his strength.&nbsp; As Britten continues to expand his game to the perimeter he has made himself into a college prospect these past few weekends on the Circuit.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
