Romney was hungry and played like a man possessed. Not just another tournament for Ashton as he played like he had something to prove. Not only did he dazzle us with great offense but he was a defensive gem. Can’t fully enjoy just how strong his play was as no one recorded full stats for the first two games. During the run, Ashton joined the 1000-point club. In four games Ashton scored 87 points. Other stats for the last two of those games were 21 rebounds, 13 assists, 9 blocks, and 6 steals including a monster game with a triple-double. 24 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 6 blocks and 4 steals.Â

Luz was a liberal scoring machine that could not be contained. He used a relentless determination to get strong finishes from the midrange area or fierce finishes at the rim including one poster finish on a defender. Nasty cuts with blowby speed. The most impressive performance to close the candidates. gotta check these highlights. In two games, 40 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals. In the second game, Zach had 39 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, and 4 steals in three quarters! That’s not a typo.

Reder is a strong, physical wing who scores effectively on all three levels but does his best work off the bounce and getting to the rim. Crafty and tough, he loves to use his size to his advantage, imposing his will on helpless defenders. Loves mixing it up on the boards and can drop a nice dime. This week he should explain why he has signed to play at the next level already. Finished with 82 points, 25 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Pendleton had himself an outstanding game against Nitro. That’s one good team and Eli established himself as a player that can shine against anybody. He is a fierce competitor with a confident swag. Cool as a fan even on the big stage. He is a triple-threat scoring option. And the second leading scorer on the team and lands in every stat category for this team. Finished with 28 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Holland had himself an incredible week. He was in beast mode on both ends of the court. A triple threat scoring machine. Brought the rain from downtown with a smooth touch. A rebound magnet while throwing himself a block party. Karter dropped a few dimes to complete the stat stuffer. Karter averaged 25 points, 11 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 4 blocks per game. The numbers don’t lie. This is how a star shines bright.
