Between Jaylen Jones Jaylen Jones 6'0" | PG East Nashville | 2023 State #178 Nation TN and Eddie Ricks III Eddie Ricks III 6'9" | SF Clarksville Academy | 2023 State #152 Nation TN Coach Harris absolutely has two show-stopping scorers with high upside. Jaylen will spend the weekend starting for a balanced PSB-Nashville team, while Eddie spent the entire July torching defenders from outside the arc.

Still up @PSBNashville 16u. Jaylen Jones whistled for bodying with the chest on the drive?
Another black by shooter Zach Gray (AL). 12-6 PSB. Good start by @camdenandrews3 . He hit a soft floater and turned the ball just once with plenty of touches. 6p now for CA. 14-6.

Jaylen Jones Jaylen Jones 6'0" | PG East Nashville | 2023 State #178 Nation TN delivered beautiful pass after beautiful pass. The electric guard expended almost no energy in pursuit of personal points. He did create constantly and provided his new team with creativity with the dribble.
Defensive Player of the Game
Trevon Roots, Illinois Stars 16u: Roots blocked something like 4 shots within the first quarter alone. PSB-Nashville took a long time to understand his quick leaping.
Player of the Game
Eddie Ricks III Eddie Ricks III 6'9" | SF Clarksville Academy | 2023 State #152 Nation TN , PSB-Nashville 16u: The wonderful agility of Eddie Ricks III Eddie Ricks III 6'9" | SF Clarksville Academy | 2023 State #152 Nation TN certainly helped him. The height was a benefit on defense. Most of Ricks III did was simply shoot with a beautiful softness. Ricks III proved much too difficult to defend. Closing out with a fury didn’t work (Root fouled him as a shooter) and closing out casually didn’t work (Ricks III hit 3’s). Fouling him didn’t work (Ricks III made the free throws).
