DAVID ROSE MDC EVENT RECAPS
Player Standouts: Phenom MDC (Day 2, Afternoon)
By: Heath Gulledge 2024 6’1 Patrick Penosky (Big Shots Elite) Penosky is a knockdown shooter. He’s got a quick release and isn’t afraid to let it fly. He knows the difference between a good shot and a great shot and has taken great shots all day long. Whether it’s spot up three’s or on the move, Penosky comes ready to fire. With a quick release, he sets his feet on the catch and knocks it...

By: Lauren Galvani 2022 6’7 Jeremy Dixon (Team EAT 17u) Ultimate team-first player! Aggressive and physical wing who is explosive in the open court. Did a good job of rebounding the ball and was able to go coast to coast on multiple occasions. Jeremy is a 3 level scorer and while he has a knack for scoring the ball, he did a great job of finding his open teammates. Good use of both hands...
read morePlayer Standouts From Phenom MDC (Day 2, Morning)
By: Heath Gulledge 2027 Colt Fowler (Upward Stars Fowler) He might not be the biggest guy on the court but he sure plays like it. Fowler is a crafty point guard with skill well beyond his years. The shifty guard has a knack for drawing the defense in and kicking to open shooters on the wing. He plays much bigger than he is, especially on his way to the rim. Fowler knows how to get crafty in the...

5’11 ’22 Jordan Marsh (PSB Larkin) There’s an abundance of talent within the PSB Larkin squad, and Marsh is as valuable as anyone. At this point, he’s probably underrated within the bigger scheme of things. Marsh is a sharp ball-handler and playmaker with an excellent penetration sense. He’s smart, athletic, and displays nice balance as a two-way floor general. Marsh is a quality defender and...
read morePOB’s Eye Catchers from Phenom MDC (Day 1)
2023 Emanuel Richards (Upward Stars 3SSB 2023): Richards continues to show his production on the floor, as I believe he is one of the more underrated prospects in the state of South Carolina for his class. Every time he comes out, he makes an impact on the floor. Before, he did an incredible job in getting downhill and finishing through contact and he continues to do so, but you can...

By; Lauren Galvani 2024 6’6 Trevor Rayborn (PSB Elite 15u) Used his length to his advantage on both ends of the floor. Aggressive on the boards and was consistent at protecting the rim. Good use of both hands and had a nice mid-range jump shot. Runs the floor well for his size. Good for a pick and roll or pick and pop. 2023 6’5 Caiden Gibson (TSB 2023) Hardest worker on the floor....
read moreDawkins’ Day One Standouts: Phenom MDC
By; DeAjai Dawkins 6’3 2022 Sean Sucarichi (Rock United 17U) Sean assumed a primary play-making role for this team from the wing. He also served as their most reliable rebounder. He seems to be tracking toward a potentially elite-level of play. I personally believe Sean is another example of a player that could benefit heavily from greater assertion on the offensive end, he has the talent for...

6’6 ’22 Jeremy Dixon (Team Eat) Team Eat offered a pretty balanced attack as a team, but Dixon continually found ways to set the tone and stand out as a two-way leader for this group. He’s a long, skilled, athletic wing prospect with an excellent transition presence and the ability to score the ball from all levels. Dixon makes a consistent impact on the glass, defensively, and in transition,...
