One thing people may not know about me is that aside from being a basketball writer for Prep Hoops, I am a huge book nerd who likes to read. I’ve decided to do something that incorporates my infatuation with books and basketball in my article today which I call “Dre’s Digest.”
How to Play the Point Guard Position
Influenced by Sophomore Elijah Stephens
Elijah Stephens, a sophomore point guard for China Springs High School, gave viewers a lesson on how a point guard with skilled ball handling, court vision and shooting can take over a game. Stephens is somewhat under the radar, but after watching his magnificent 25-point performance versus Hillsboro, people around the state of Texas need to become more aware of him.
To Live or Die by the Three
Influenced by Unsigned Senior Keller Boothby
Boothby is a gunslinger from Prestonwood Christian that is known around the state for his shooting expertise. He showed everyone this past weekend that he doesn’t mind living behind the three point line. Against Nolan Catholic and Bishop Lynch, Boothby combined for 11 three pointers made and averaged 22 points per game in the two playoff games.
If There is a Mismatch, You Have to Feed the Post
Influenced by Sophomore Chuks Isitua
Isitua is a physical specimen at 6-foot-11. At the Homeschool Big South Regionals, I had the chance to watch the promising big man. I was very shocked to see that Isitua had an obvious mismatch on the team he was playing against, yet his teammates didn’t feed him the rock as much as they should have. Isitua has a nice touch around the rim and can also face up and hit mid range jumpers when open. Isitua still needs to work on his back to the basket game and using his physical gifts to dominate smaller players on the block.
