Continue ReadingWhile it has been a week since it occured, the hype is still there following 270 Hoops 2021 Challenge. The event attracted college coaches from multiple levels virtually to watch some of Central Ohio’s top 2021 talent. Today I highlight the 5 top performers from the event.
Jalen Sullinger Jalen Sullinger 5'11" | PG Thomas Worthington | 2021 State OH – 5’11 PG (Thomas Worthington)- Possesses blow by speed on the dribble drive. Good handle on the basketball against tight pressure. Showed an ability to knock down 3PT shots from beyond high school range.
Casey George Casey George 6'0" | PG Pickerington North | 2021 State OH – 6’0 PG (Pickerington North)- Major stock riser in my opinion. Looks bigger than February. Consistent midrange shooter. Pull up from elbow has vastly improved. Currently only holds an offer from Lourdes, but D2s should definitely be watching him. Solid feel and comfortable with the ball in his hands.
Elhadji Thiam Elhadji Thiam 6'7" | PF Pickerington Central | 2021 State OH – 6’7 PF (Pickerington Central)- High motor kid. Showed versatility as a big. Impressed me with his ability to get out in transition and even play a little on the perimeter. Strong post ups. Gets his hands up on his post ups and has confidence to play inside-out.
Quincy Clark Quincy Clark 6'3" | PG Westerville Central | 2021 State OH – 6’2 CG (Westerville Central)- Utility guy. Impressed me with his on-ball defense. Moves well with the ball and on passes. Fights through screens on-ball. Distributes the ball and keeps it moving side-to-side.
TJ Pugh TJ Pugh 6'6" | SF Shelby | 2021 State OH – 6’6 Wing (Shelby)- Looks even more muscular than junior campaign. Looked far more comfortable playing in the paint. Known for his outside shooting and still confident to shoot the ball from beyond the arc.
Other notable participants: Tyrese Hughey Tyrese Hughey 6'7" | PF Thomas Worthington | 2021 State OH (Thomas Worthington), Eli Burke Eli Burke 6'1" | PG Africentric | 2021 State OH (Africentric), Keaton Norris Keaton Norris 5'10" | PG Hilliard Bradley | 2021 State OH (Hilliard Bradley)
