Grassroots Preview: GP Premier 2019-Adams
The AAU season is upon us and we are ready to get things going. This season, we begin again with our previews of some of the top AAU programs in the state. Today, we take a look at GP Premier 2019-Adams.
# | Name | HT | POS | Class | HS |
Ryan Wiggins | 6’7 | PF | 2019 | Tri-West | |
Max Newman | 6’7 | PF | 2019 | Monrovia | |
Gunnar Reffeitt | 6’0 | PG | 2019 | Brownsburg | |
Benson Walker | 6’6 | SF | 2019 | Cascade | |
Reid Staggs | 5’11 | PG | 2019 | Martinsville | |
Kayden Key | 6’0 | PG | 2019 | Frankton | |
Zeeke Reeder | 6’5 | SF | 2019 | Terre Haute | |
Reis Thomas | 6’3 | SG | 2019 | Brownsburg | |
Matt Frost | 6’6 | SF | 2019 | Columbus East |
Strengths: The strength of this group is their size. They are a really large team with guys like Frost, Newman, Wiggins all 6’6 or taller. Not to mention that Reis Thomas is just a large guard . They have enough size for a non-sponsored team to be able to compete and enough offense to do it as well. Their shooting ability is really strong up and down their lineup even coming from their big men. Could make them difficult to defend.
Why College Programs Should Watch: College coaches form the top NAIA programs and some DII schools should be taking an early look. They have plenty of talent and a few guys who could really step up this season like a Matt Frost or Reis Thomas. This is a solid group that in a year from now could be one of the more watched teams week in and week out.
Player To Watch: Matt Frost (Columbus East) – Matt has really started to develop as a ball handler and that has made him a lot more productive. He still needs to continue to work on his jumper but he’s a capable rebounder among big men and does a pretty good job as a creator in the lane of offense. Add it all together with his size and he can be really good.
Where To Find Them: This group will be playing on the Powerade Platform so this weekend they will be in Washington D.C. and then back in Indianapolis next weekend. They will also make a trip down to Nashville in May. Outside of that, expect them in Indianapolis a lot this year.
