Top Performers(No Order):

Tyson Ward Jr. 6’1” CG Tampa Prep: Showed much improvement since last year. Ward has grown about 3″ and looks very aggressive offensively. Ward, a lefty was able to break defenders down and give himself separation with his ball handling skills. Looking forward to watching him grow as a leader on the court. Lots of upside!

RJ Palmer Sr. 6’5” SG Wharton: Gifted prospect with lots of energy and athleticism. Palmer’s rebounding skills helped him to initiate the fast break and finish above the rim in transition.

Lawrence Watt Sr. 6’4” Mitchell: A versatile player and good decision maker. Played well within his game and he wasn’t scared to attack the opposition. Very athletic with a nice mid-range jumper. He showed a lot of energy during drill sets.

David Jones Jr. 6’1” Leto: Efficient PG. Under the Radar kid with tons of talent. Shows balance, a skill set and was crafty in the open court. Jones was a surprise talent. Keep an eye on this guy!

Dontay Bassett Jr. 6’9” Oldsmar Christian: Was aggressive all day. Played his position in the post and got up the floor in transition. Has a solid frame and plays very strong in the paint.

LJ Figuerora Soph. 6’5” Oldsmar Christian: Ran like a deer! A scorer with defensive skills. Showed a quick first step and a strong presence on help side defense. LJ has lots of potential with plenty of basketball ahead he need to stay on attack at all times. PROSPECT!!

Maurice Moore Sr. 6’4” Jefferson: Good player and a competitor. A hard guard for defenders because of his size. Gets into the lane and likes the pull-up jump shot. Moore is continuing to develop has a player. Becoming a better player off the ball will be his challenge.
