JULY STANDOUTS 2017 – players notes
There were some big time performances in the final live period this July. The stars really shined and gave many lovers of the game something to look forward to in the fall.
Class of 2018 6’3 point guard Khyree Armstead had a stellar showing at the Oregon Premier Showcase this year and has now started to get some D1 and D2 interest.
A true floor general. Has great size at the point guard position and can slide over to the combo guard slot as well as the 3. Very unselfish, makes the smart plays and is knocking down open jumpers at a high rate. Displayed above average court vision, defensive awareness and sneaky athleticism on several plays. Sleeper prospect that could be bound for a breakout junior season.
CJ Elleby/6’7/Seattle Rotary
CJ isn’t your prototypical forward but is much more athletic than he looks and really can get to the basket. Probably projects more of a perimeter player but he can throw around weight down low and rebound. One thing I noticed most about him was he is very fast, has a quick first step which will help him keep defenders off guard.
Jalen Green/6’6/NW PANTHERS
I have really liked Green for a while now and he is even more impressive now. He’s really agile and strong for a forward and he is becoming much more versatile. His jumper looked good and he is becoming a guy who could play up to four spots on the floor if needed. His post moves are still coming along and he looked good down there on during the showcase.
The 6’0 155 pound Class of 2019 standout Pierre Crockrell is running with Dream Vision AAU out of California this summer. His outstanding play during the live period has surely not gone unnoticed. Heavy interest from some of the local and non local schools are starting to pile up for the young ball player.
Hailing from Tacoma, Washington Pierre Crockrell is making his name a household one as he gets closer to his final years of high school. He is currently ranked #4 in the state of Washington. Ranked #36 at his position which is point guard and is ranked #133 nationally. Currently enrolled at Prolific Prep school in California. He is an absolute nightmare for opposing guards. Standing 6’0 most would consider that a little on the undersized side. When you look at his body composition he actually looks about 2 inches talker because he has some muscle mass. This young man can get to the rim at will and can make others around him better.
2020 6’4 shooting guard Tyler Patterson of FOH is a long 6’4” guard that will shoot it from deep or go to the wing to post up, rip hard, and get past his defender. He can finish over smaller defenders or with contact for bigger opponents. D1/D2 Prospect.
