Continue ReadingLoved the name that The Hillcrest Knights came up with as they were another local team that made their way to Las Vegas to compete against some of the best that also made the trek. This was a great opportunity for a team to really get things going with a new look team that has a new PG running the show. It also allows players like Kobe Kessler Kobe Kessler 6'3" | PG Hillcrest | 2023 State ID and even Isaac Davis Isaac Davis 6'8" | PF Hillcrest | 2024 State #140 Nation ID to continue to showcase their talents.
Hillcrest has a lot of work to do as they fell to a few good teams but they have the pieces to compete and really be a tough team in Idaho.

There is a lot to be said about a player like Isaac Davis Isaac Davis 6'8" | PF Hillcrest | 2024 State #140 Nation ID as he is a player that has talent and passing ability and when he works his explosive game in the post he is at another level. The one thing that many fail to see is his IQ. He is a player that can make himself available to release pressure for ball handlers. He knows when to flash or to stay back and help his teammates out. A quality that you do not see on the stat sheet. Isaac was racking up rebounds and assist with that good vision and instinct that he has. Had few moments where he was bringing the ball up the floor and scanning the floor and dropping dimes to guards.

Kobe is a player that can really be a sleeper pick up at the next level. He has length and some good shooting ability. He was running the lanes this past weekend and he was the recipient of some solid ball movement. He is a good defender as he has some length to bother shots or alter them with full extension. When he is passing the ball he puts it on the money, especially when he is throwing lobs to Davis.

Ike making hi way over to Hillcrest is starting to show up on the stat sheets. He is rebounding the ball and he is getting that ball up the floor quickly. He is good on the ball defensively as he is also willing to step in and take charges. On the offensive end of the floor he does a great job handling the ball and breaking pressure. Showed a lot of that this past weekend.

Talan showed a few good things out there as he is going to be a Swiss Army Knife having to guard bigger guys and do a lot of dirty work. He can get in the lane and draw two, he makes the extra pass and he tracks down loose balls. When he is flying allover the place good things happen.
