High energy 6-foot-2 combo guard. Was always in motion and in attack mode on both ends of the floor, looking to make plays with or on the basketball. Got to the hoop early and often and was an excellent finisher around the hoop, especially in transition. Quick hands and effort on defense helped create turnovers and easy fast break points for himself and others.

Next up on the list of my top 15U guards is Giles Brown. I caught up with Brown and Handles X Buckets in the first game of the weekend – a comfortable 19-point win. Giles was excellent in that game, particularly in the first half, as he had success getting to the rim in transition and in the half-court. He has some solid size for his age, and that size helps him play the game he wants to play. However, it’s not all brute force with Giles, he has good feet to play off two and use spin moves in the lane.
