Weekend Shooters
Focus on many of the weekend’s best 3-point shooters.
Devaki Garr Devaki Garr 6'0" | PG Ensworth | 2023 State TN | EAB 16u|
To be fair to Devaki and this feature it was not his best shooting day, it was merely ok. Garr’s eagerness and willingness to shoot is unmatched. There are perhaps times that he forces his outside shot, but the release is quick and typically pure. Garr plays quite a bit away from the ball for EAB 16u as they run out some really strong guards in DuJuan Sharp DuJuan Sharp 5'9" | PG Ensworth (football) | 2023 State TN and Marcel Reed Marcel Reed 6'3" | SG M.B.A. (football) | 2023 State TN . This forces or allows, depending on your perspective, Devaki to play the catch-and-shoot role. He is capable of succeeding at this level, but will most likely need to play point in college.
Trent McNair | EAB 17u|
Trent was a strong, young player for Brentwood Academy all the way up. You might remember his older brother, former teammates of Darius Garland, Tyler McNair. Like Tyler, Trent is springy, but the comparisons end there. Tyler was a hustle guy, a rebounder whereas Trent is a classic shooter with touch and nice guard height. Saturday night Trent lead the 17u EAB squad with 14 points against 1Family whilst making two three-pointers along the way. Trent could show off a little more of the fire in the paint that Tyler emanated, but there is no disputing or diminishing Trent’s scoring ability.
Evan Eursher Evan Eursher 6'2" | PG Webb-Bell Buckle | 2022 State #244 Nation TN | EAB 17u|
Hardly a specialist Evan Eursher Evan Eursher 6'2" | PG Webb-Bell Buckle | 2022 State #244 Nation TN is a strong outside shooter. EAB needed the faraway makes from EE in their impressive Friday win over BMaze 17u.
| Jackson Garner Jackson Garner 6'0" | PG Clinton | 2022 State TN | Point Guard | Emerald Force 17u |
Respected scout and writer Andre Whitehead labeled Jackson one of the best shooters in the state. JG proved him astute with a sparkling weekend of work. Saturday night Garner buried 30 points and followed it up with a 28-point game Sunday. Of his 28 points, 18 came from behind the arc of dreams.
| Eddie Ricks III | Wing | PSB-Nashville 16u UA RISE |
Breathtaking athleticism with the smoothest stroke around.
| Sam Medalie | Point Guard | Team Mookie Betts 15u |
A strong player in the Brentwood High program, Sam gives Team Bookie court balance. Many of the stars on the team are natural slashers without the perimeter competence of Sam. He can do other things, but this weekend he showed off the outside touch.
