Kyndall Davis (All-In Athletics 17U)
Davis is a big and strong small forward with plus athleticism. That combined with his burst off the bounce made for an effective scorer at Battle.
Dominic Martinelli (All-In Athletics 17U)
Martinelli is more of a crafty scorer that got in the lane for runners and floaters.
Marquel Brumfield (Illinois T-Wolves 17U)
Brumfield has been on this superlative list over and over throughout the spring because of his ability to attack downhill with force!
Keshawn Williams (Young & Reckless 17U)
Williams is a high level athlete with smooth handles off the bounce. He gets to the rim and finishes with smoothness.
Christian Shumate (Young & Reckless 17U)
Elite level athlete that was consistently successful getting to the hoop with drives throughout the event.
Taurean Holtam (QC Ballers 17U)
Holtam is a 6’5” athletic small forward that was a tough cover when he squared his shoulders and went downhill.
Aquan Smart (Pure Prep 17U)
Smart is a quick twitched athlete at the combo guard spot who lived in the lane all night long!
Josh Preston (Fundamental U 17U)
Preston is a combo forward that worked great out of the high post on quick drives to the basket finishing with explosive hops that we had not seen before.
Uchenna Egekeze (Fundamental U 17U)
Egekeze was effective on Sunday with his smooth drives and creative layup making. Huntley wing flies under the radar at times.
Darius Burford (Team Rose 17U)
Burford is an explosive combo guard that can really get to the hoop with a burst in both the half court and transition.
Jimarius Sneed (Team Rose 17U)
This Crane 2020 small forward has a powerful body and uses it bullying his way through defenders to the cup!
Justin Harmon (Team Rose 17U)
Harmon was consistent throughout the event with the way he won off the dribble and finished with force! Unsigned senior.
CJ Nwosu (Full Package 17U)
Nwosu is a strong and athletic wing from Von Steuben that attacks with toughness on straight line drives!
