Tayshaun Gilchrist, Panhandle Prospects
Gilchrist was one of the top scorers in the 17U division at 19 points per game, showing that he can score the ball from every level of the floor. He changes speeds very well off the dribble and consistently was able to get by defenders and show off his creativity and physicality finishing at the rim with both hands. He also shot the ball well from three and spent some time playing off the ball, where he was dangerous in catch and shoot situations. He's a guy college coaches will want to know.
Brandon Peters, Big4/WACG
Peters had a very good weekend running the point for WACG. He has very good physical tools and uses his strength off the dribble combined with a burst of quickness and ability to explode off the floor to beat defenders and finish at the rim. He also stretched his range and was able to show his ability to knock down shots from three. He averaged over 16 points per game on the weekend and made some very impressive plays in the process.
Adam Barksdale, Pro One UA
One of the best shooters in the gym on both days, Barksdale is an absolute sniper from three. He has good size in the backourt at 6-foot-3 and showed that he can be effective playing both spots in the backcourt and playing both on and off the ball. He scored in double figures in every game over the weekend, and he averaged 3.5 made threes per game.
Esmer Madesko, North Atlanta Orangemen
Madesko was dangerous in the open floor all weekend and showed he can finish at the rim and be effective shooting the ball from three. He finished the weekend averaging 18 points per game, playing both on and off the ball. He shot the ball consistently well from the perimeter in the halfcourt and picked his spots well to speed up the game, push in transition, and create offense in the open floor.
Hutson Rowe, Panhandle Prospects
Rowe was a consistent scorer and playmaker for Panhandle Prospects, who went 3-1 on the weekend in the 16U division. He plays with savvy and a little bit of flare to his game and can score it from every level of the floor as well as make plays for teammates with his craftiness and creativity. He definitely stood out as one of the better playmaking guard in the 16U division.
Jake Taylor, OTP National
Taylor can make an impact as both a primary playmaker/distributor and a primary scorer, and he had games this weekend doing both of those. He has the ability to make reads out of ball screens, getting the ball where it needs to go with a some sauce and flash in it.. On a team with good lead guards, he spent some time this weekend playing both on and off the ball and showed that he can be a threat from the perimeter with the ability to consistently knock down threes.
Cooper Glover, SW Stamp Squad
Glover was one of the better passers and playmakers in the field and he consistently was able to make his mark on games by putting the ball on the floor, making reads, and distributing the ball very well. He has great size at the point and has a savvy and court vision beyond his years. He was very good beating defenders off the dribble and making reads on secondary defenders and either scoring or making the right play and getting teammates opportunities.
