Made Hoops Philly Warm Up: Intriguing Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Made Hoops came to the Philadelphia region for teams to get a quick tune up before next weekend's live period. There were prospects for all levels who stood out. Here are SIX that caught my eye:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2438144' first='Tristan' last='Ganges'] | 6'6 W/F 2026 [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] Black 16U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With his long arms and agility, Ganges provided a lot of scheme versatility for his team. He was the tip of the spear in their 1-2-2 zone and their man in the middle when they shifted back-and-forth to their 2-3 zone. No matter what defense they were in, Ganges deflected passes, affected shots inside, and made his overall presence felt on that end.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2438163' first='Ahmaar' last='Godhania'] | 6'1 G 2025 PSB Philly 17U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When his teammates had trouble creating shots for themselves, Godhania paced them with his jump shot. The North Penn Knight came up big for them with one catch-and-shoot three after another. And when he had the ball late in possessions, Godhania simply pulled up from deep without hesitation.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1608272' first='Winnie' last='Lassa'] | 6'5 F/C 2026 [program_tooltip program_id='2428023' first='Philly' last='Revolution'] Black 16U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lassa had no fluff to his game and still put up an easy double-double. A traditional post player, he scored with two dribbles or less and on putbacks. Lassa punished mismatches as well, putting his man on his hip before backing him down and getting a quick lay or drawing a foul.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1188626' first='Keon' last='Mtume-Long'] | 6'2 G [program_tooltip program_id='2428023' first='Philly' last='Revolution'] Black 17U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In prior contexts, Mtume-Long functioned as a connector and secondary creator, capitalizing on advantages that others generated. But, he operated as the point guard for Revolution Black and excelled at it. Mtume-Long made seamless decisions while initiating the offense, getting two feet in the paint before floating the ball up for two or zipping it back out for three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2438159' first='Aydin' last='Scott'] | 6'5 W/F 2026 Delaware Spartans 16U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Scott drew a lot of eyeballs with his combination of size and movement skills. He was the backbone of his team's defense as their primary rim-protector and with his ability to defend in space. His athleticism popped when he shot the gap for a steal and dunk, and again when he attacked the paint off-the-catch.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1888854' first='Ya'majesty' last='Washington'] | 6'3 G 2026 [program_tooltip program_id='2428018' first='Sideline' last='Cancer'] MHC 16U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Washington didn't score much, but he was perfectly content making plays on defense. He hunted for blocks in transition, seizing every opportunity to pin shots against the backboard. Just effective in the halfcourt, Washington blocked opponents jump shots and picked passes out of the air for steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Follow me on the socials for more basketball covers @ CGraham_Sports</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
