PLAYER SPOTLIGHT:

Name: Jacobi Hairston 

Grade: 4th

Position: Combo Guard

Report:  Hairston is a cleaver guard with a slick handle and sees the floor well. He was very active in his team’s pressure defense and got out into transition.

Name: Jordan McPhatter

Grade: 4th

Position: Point Guard

Report: This little lefty can shoot 3 pointers from NBA range. His confidence and flair is very uncommon for a player this young. You guys really need to check this kid out.

Name: Rylan Mclaurin  (#1)

Grade: 5th

Position: Point Guard

Report: Another little lefty that has a pass first mentality and the ability to push the ball and make good decisions in transition.  Rylan is a total "thief" on defense and is getting better as a scorer when needed each game.

Name: Harrison Barnes  (#2)

Grade: 6th

Position: Small Forward

Report: Barnes too is a lefty with the biggest upside I've seen in a kid in years. Barnes is a aggressive player on both ends of the court and has promising moments when he finishes around the basket. Harrison is the most versatile player on the roster with the ability to play 4 of the 5 positions on the floor.

Name: Jalen Barr  (#23)

Grade: 5th

Position: Small Forward

Report: Barr's gift is his defensive tenacity, he's usually matched up against other team's best offensive player with a goal to lock him down.  He's also capable of being a slasher on the offensive end.

Name: RaQuan Brown  (#15)

Grade: 5th

Position: Poward Forward

Report:  Brown has post moves that are rare for a player his age, he is a effective scorer and shoots free throws at a high percentage. Brown is also capable of rebounding and handles the ball well for a big man.

Name: Myles Pierre  (#33)

Grade: 5th

Position: Center

Report:  Pound for pound one of the BEST big men in the 5th Grade Division! Pierre is only in his 2nd year of competitive basketball and has shown the potential to one day be a DI prospect.  He has all the ingredients (size, strength and speed) to succeed and will undoubtedly get  even better as he gains more experience.

Name: Chandler Speight  (#24)

Grade: 5th

Position: Shooting Guard

Report: Speight has one of the sweetest "jump shots" that you want to see, he is learning to refine his game and will be a player to reckon with as his confidence grows!  Speight can also handle the basketball and is automatic from the foul line.

Name: DeAngelo Epps  (#12)

Grade: 6th

Position: Forward

Report: Affectionately known as "D-Lo", DeAngelo Epps is as fierce a competitor as you will find in youth basketball. He is highly skilled as a post player with the skill set to one day transition to the perimeter.  Epps blocks shots, he rebounds and has developed a deadly mid-range jump shot when he faces the basket.

Name: Donovan Gregory  (#6)

Grade: 5th

Position: Forward

Report: Gregory is an athletic freak, he has the rare combination of speed, quickness and strength. Gregory also has the ability to be a scorer from both the inside and outside while playing in the post or on the wing.  Defensively he can get into passing lanes and has a knack for using his long wing span to disrupt opponet's offenses.
