Robert Davis Jr. Robert Davis Jr. 6'6" | SG Hamtramck | 2022 State MI (2022, SG, Farmington) Rising Star Guards
Davis did it all this weekend. He showed how well he can play on the perimeter by creating space for his jumpers or driving to the basket for electrifying layups. He ran that floor hard and this led to several dunks off the break. His athleticism is off the charts. He can do it all when he is focused.
Sonny Wilson Sonny Wilson 6'0" | PG UD Jesuit | 2023 State #189 Nation MI (2023, PG, UD Jesuit) Reach Legends 15U
Wilson dominated play at the Grassroots showcase this past weekend showing he is one of the top guards in the country. His quickness was put on full display and he couldn’t be stopped from getting into the paint where he always made the right decision. When he sets his mind to score he can’t be stopped.
Linden Holder Linden Holder 6'0" | PG De La Salle | 2021 State MI (2021, PG, Warren De La Salle) MM Boyz
Holder did what I have saw him do all summer and that is score. He knows how to put the ball in the basket. His ability to see the court and make the right decision is outstanding. You can’t play off of him or he will hit the jumper. If you played up on him he would dribble drive and either score or dish to an open teammate. He is a baller.
Tyler Jamison Tyler Jamison 6'4" | SF Port Huron Northern | 2023 State MI (2023, CG, Port Huron Northern) MWA Elite 2023
I love the way Jamison plays. He is constantly moving without the ball breaking free for layups. He doesn’t shy away from physical contact. He finishes strong at the rim. He is a leader also. I saw him directing teammates on the press. He is mature beyond his years. He is only going to get better and better.
Amont’e Allen-Johnson Amont’e Allen-Johnson 6'1" | PG Dream City Christian | 2023 State AZ (2023, CG, Grand Blanc) Rising Star Guards
Allen -Johnson rose to elite status this weekend playing for the Rising Star Guards at the Bullseye Basketball Labor Day tournament. He is scoring machine. His speed and quickness allows him to get any shot he wants. He is fearless driving to the basket. He is not a selfish player. He looked to feed his teammates also. Dynamic player.
