Galvani’s Standouts from Day 2 at Phenom MDC
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...

POB’s Eye Catchers: Phenom MDC (Day 2, Part 1)
2023 Hasanur Friedman (G5 Elite): Friedman is a new name to the scene for us but the guard showed tremendous ability to create for himself off the dribble. He makes incredibly decisive moves, quick reaction, and gets defenders off-balance with his crossover while also finishing around the basket.

He seems to be tracking toward a potentially elite-level of play.

2021 Peyton Gerald (Ace Elite) – You have to like what a 6'8 mobile and athletic forward can bring to the table. With Gerald he brings that and more. He has a nice feel down in the post and uses his length well, but also can create for himself and does a tremendous job in getting at the rim and on the boards.
