TOP DOGS
Trent Robertson, Durant 2013 G – Fantastic. In the words of the kids, “He was gettin’ it in.” Handled he ball well going through drills
Devin Harris, Jesuit 2013 G – VERY VERY SKILLED! I have not seen him in an organized setting. But, today he showed that he is a complete guard. He can consistenely shoot the mid to long range jumper and he takes the ball strong to the rack and can FINISH. He dominated and displayed great skill and concetraion during individual drills.
Sir Patrick Reynolds, 2013 G – Very balanced player. Went “HAM” today. He dominated on all facets and showed the ability to “Ball hog” at the right time. Impact player that can make things happen. Very explosive player.
SOMETHING TO PROVE
Jonathan Jean East Bay 2015 G – He was lights out! He can flat out handle the ball. Very smooth and aggressive and gets into a zone fast. He showed that he could take over a game and did so during the all star game to conclude the event. He showed a variety of moves, count awareness, quickness and perimeter shooting.
Gary Hector Jr, Lennard 2014 G – Showed that kids down south, can make it happen. Very aggressive, finished through contact and plays both ends of the floor.
