Sherman Anderson
was so dominant that he looked like a man among boys. He plays with poise, maturity, and a high I.Q to know when to cut, post up, and what to do. He got better every game of the tournament. He had 14 points, 21 points, 27 points, and then he scored an astounding 32 points in the championship game. He has great size and athleticism for his age, standing at 5’11. He would post up before utilizes post moves or his height to score inside. He knew when to cut, which led to some open looks at the rim. He scored several second chance points, fighting for one rebound after another. He was efficient while doing all of this. While on defense, there were a couple of different times that he came away with a steal that led to fast break points. On defense, he was a defensive anchor, Bill Russell like. He blocked so many shots that the defense was hesitant to drive. When they did, they were rarely successful. He has a good wingspan to go along with his athletic ability and height. If he was anywhere near the paint, it was almost always a miss by the opponents. He was the guy and everyone knew it. Was not flashy, but was efficient. He made such an impact defensively that several of their opponents had their lowest point totals. Here were the scores:
Wichita Falls All Starz- 21, Tulsa Jr. Hurricanes- 57
Tulsa Jr. Hurricanes- 66, Team Gresham- 25
Tulsa Jr. Hurricanes- 67, Core 405- 48
Championship game: Texas Summit Vols Elite- 35, Tulsa Jr. Hurricanes- 60
His fingerprints were all over this. If I did not know that he was in 12U, I would have thought that he was a high school player.
