Hello, everyone the Travel Basketball Season is in high gear. I'm down in Rock Hill SC for the Phenom G3 Showcase. Let's jump right into my Friday Favorites in no particular order.

2026 6'6' Antwon Young of Next Level SC Purple. He scored a game-high 20 points. But it was more than his points that impacted the game. He was very energetic doing it on both ends of the floor. I like the way he handled instruction from his coach. He has a tremendous upside. Let's remember class of 2026 is a freshman. '

2023 6'9' Javeon Wells of Q6 All Stars Elite Baety was a man among boys out there tonight. He knows how to use his body to get what he wants under the rim. At 6'9' he is very nimble and capable on the perimeter. Javeon has a wide wingspan which helped him snag a gang of rebounds. He has a soft touch around the cup and can shoot it from beyond the arc as well. College Coaches, if you got a spot, you've got a player to fill it.

2024 6'3' Justin Skelton of Team 803 poured in a game-high 34 points. This kid is a 3-level scorer for sure. But he passed, played D, rebounded, and cheered on his teammates. We saw him play 3 out of 5 positions today. Justin is very versatile in his skill set. Most importantly to me, he was able to stay focused and didn't force anything. He scored 34 without taunting. He let the game come to him. 'He's a hoopers hooper.

These guys stood out tonight. Who will it be tomorrow' Who will be a Saturday Stud' We'll be back to let you know.
