Don’t get it confuse people, it is a lot of good basketball played at the 16u level. A lot of 16u teams, could compete against some of the nation’s best 17u teams. Here is what I saw during the live period.
JABARI SMITH MAY BE THE BEST PLAYER IN GEORGIA FOR THE 2021 CLASS
The 6-8 junior to be, has been dominating all travel season. He helped his Atlanta Celtics to a 6-1 record during the Adidas Gauntlet league play. This past weekend, the Atlanta Celtics won all 4 games by double figures. Jabari, has back to the basket moves as well as a great mid range game. Defensively, he can guard wings and bigs. Don’t be surprised if he becomes a 5 star by the end of the season.

Four players who improved their stock this weekend were,
Will Freeman Team Strap -scored on all three levels the entire weekend.
Jocqua Keeton Team Strap- defended well, shot the 3 ball good vocal leader.
