Continue ReadingDuring the NCAA’s final live period of 2016, a bevy of DMV area programs traveled to Las Vegas, where they were primarily featured in three tournaments: The Bigfoot Hoops Las Vegas Classic, The Las Vegas Fab 48, and the Adidas Uprising Summer Championships. Vantage Hoops was in the gym to catch the action throughout the week. Below, we run down a scouting report of a few standouts from the class of 2019.
C Qudus Abolaji | Uncommon Bulls
7 foot center Qudus Abolaji was a very imposing presence in the paint for the Uncommon Bulls. Abolaji tried to rip down the rim whenever he could get a chance, and was very active as a rim protector and rebounder.
SG Jordyn Adams | Houston Hoops
Jordyn Adams demonstrated big time shot making ability on the perimeter while playing up with the 17U squad in Vegas. The Texas native has good size at 6-foot-3, and doesn’t need much room to get his jumper off given his super quick release.
SF Anwar Gill | DC Blue Devils
6-foot-3 lefty guard Anwar Gill showcased high level athleticism playing up with the 16U squad in Vegas. Gill, who has a great motor, is becoming a capable three point threat from the catch, and his offensive game is beginning to expand from there.
PG Anthony Harris Jr. | Team Takeover
Anthony Harris Jr. once again played with the typical mature, yet aggressive style we’ve seen from him over the past 8 months. The extremely skilled guard knows how to use his intriguing blend of size and quickness to help him consistently keep defenders off balance. Harris is a lockdown perimeter defender who plays with a tireless work rate.
SG Gibson Jimerson | DC Blue Devils
One of the most consistent shooters you will find from the catch in 2019, Gibson Jimerson showcased his shot making ability in transition while playing up with the 16U team in Vegas. The 6-foot-5 off guard quickly identifies his spots in transition, and doesn’t need much time or space to get off his shot.
PF Makhel Mitchell | DC Blue Devils
The often underrated of the Bishop McNamara twins, Makhel Mitchell is starting to show signs of development as a result of his improved fitness and work rate. The strong 6-foot-9 power forward still has a significant ceiling, and appears to be playing with a massive chip on his shoulder.
