The Hustle Region Circuit consists of AAU Programs from California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, and New Mexico. The circuit features 10 stops including the Hustle Region Final in Irvine July 15th – 17th. Stop number 2 takes place in Denver, Colorado with the Spring Kick-Off. The event features nearly 100 programs ranging from age 15U – to 17U. With so many teams there’s bound to be tons of talent. In this article, we take a look at some of the players to watch at the event.
TaRea Fulcher TaRea Fulcher 5'11" | PG Regis Jesuit | 2023 CO 5’10 PG Colorado Premiere 2023 (#16PHC 2023) – Driver, slasher with a good pull-up game. Fulcher put up almost 15 per game this year for a 15 win Regis squad. A good scorer, I’m actually going to pay attention to his ability to limit turnovers and operate an offense.
Silas McCurnin Silas McCurnin 6'2" | PG Poudre | 2023 CO 6’3 PG Team Daum 24MD 2023 (#9PHC 2023) – Big-time bucket getter. his nearly 19ppg proves that. What impressed me was how he gets his. The playmaking PG can knock down shots in catch and shoot, but also has some 1 v 1 ability that allows him to excel from midrange.
Caden Stevens Caden Stevens 6'8" | C Mountain Vista | 2023 CO 6’8 PF Elevation Flyers 2023 (#37PHC 2023) – Comes in with a reputation as a rim protector. I’m looking to see how much he lives up to it. Stevens averaged nearly 3 blocks per game.
Corbin Garver Corbin Garver 6'3" | CG Air Academy | 2023 State CO 6’4 CG Team Daum 2023 (#39PHC 2023) (featured image) – Jumps off the film, Garver mixes some skill with athleticism. He averaged over 16 per game, but what I’m looking to see is how good is in other areas of the game. Here’s a guy that averaged almost 9 boards per and impacted games on the defensive end as well.
Dane Lewis Dane Lewis 6'2" | CG Federal Way | 2023 State WA 6’3 CG BDH Elite 2023 (#47PHW 2023) – Caught a glimpse of Lewis at the Emerald City Camp back in September. At the camp, he showed some advanced 1 v 1 ability. Looks like he carried it over to the high school season. Lewis was a bucket getter who comes in as one of the top scorers in the state of Washington.
Trevon Chambers Trevon Chambers 6'3" | SG Cherry Creek | 2023 State CO 6’1 CG Colorado Premiere 2023 (#47PHC 2023) – High-scoring combo guard with good vision and playmaking ability. Saw quite a bit of tape of Chambers, which highlighted his all-around offensive ability. Despite being a scoring guard he showed a willingness to hit ahead and set others up for buckets.
