An electric guard who’s always pushing the tempo on both ends of the floor, Weatherspoon plays with an incredible engine and is usually one of, if not the quickest player on the floor. He’s really controlled the game when on the court for Idaho Premier so far this season, constantly gets paint touches and can finish acrobatically or with touch as he pulls up for short floaters and runners. He plays with great vision and instincts, allowing him to be a true playmaker on both sides of the court.

Bellarmine has been playing well of late, taking both Puyallup and Olympia to the brink but coming up just short in both games. They looked strong in the first half against Rogers taking a 28-17 lead into half, but then Weatherspoon got going. He did a great job drawing fouls at the rim and converting at the line, including two and-one’s with some extraordinary finishes. He’s a super quick player who was able to create separation on the outside and get to the rim most of the game. He also came up with a couple of huge plays on the defensive end getting two steals with under 30 seconds left in the game, getting to the rim and drawing fouls. He sank four free throws off those two steals that put the game on ice and helped Rogers move on to the next round.

Weatherspoon is a dime-dropper who recognizes defensive rotations and passing angles, which has led to some outstanding passes in the young season. His speed puts pressure on the defense in one way, but his ability to zip the ball around with his passing and court vision is another element that adds pace to his game.

This guy has been one of the most impressive sophomores of the year, running the Rogers Rams offense like he has been there for a while. However it may seem, this is only his first year at the helm and he has shown an innate ability to create space, play on his terms, and freeze defenders with his dribble. He kept that up at the King Showcase, whether he was getting to the rim or using the threat of his dribble to draw defenders out away from the paint, he was playmaking all game long. Weatherspoon made a few plays to jump passing lanes that resulted in easy buckets and helped swing the game in his team’s favor.

This is a kid who has been thrust into the starting point guard role and has rarely looked overwhelmed by the responsibility. He’s a sneaky and crafty player, finding lanes through the defense and creating turnovers on the other end. He really shows a ton of promise at the point, displaying a lot of innate characteristics that make him a natural leader on the hardwood. He draws fouls, has great court awareness, and does an excellent job of getting to zero and making things happen.
