The Queen City Showcase in Rock Hill this weekend is going to be off the charts. With talent all on the floor, livestreams streaming the games, and a ton of coverage from Phenom Hoops, this is going to be one of the best events to start the travel ball season.
That is why we wanted to get a leg up on it, as we spoke to several coaches that will be bringing their teams to South Carolina this weekend. Below, we look at a few players that you may want to check out on the court, whether you are a college coach, a scout, or a fan.
Check out a few names below for each team.
Team: Team Hickory 17u- Ervin
Keion Littlejohn – 2022/ 6’6
Coaches Thoughts: Keion is a tenacious rebound with a long wingspan, great size can defend the 4 and 5 positions, also has a nice touch around the rim, and can alter shots at the rim. Works well in the short corner and screening and rolling to the basket
Braxton Crocker – 2022/ 6’0
Coaches Thoughts: great combo guard can shoot the 3 ball and crafty at getting the ball to the rim, great at finishing at the rim, works well off-ball screens and solid defender, and able to create plays off the bounce.
Mari Adams – 2022/ 6’0
Coaches Thoughts: Mari carries a high basketball IQ, very quick with the ball, and strong body build as he plays football for Crest looking to get his teammates involved an above-average passer, very creative around the rim scoring the ball, plays with a high motor/ intensity on the defensive end, great lateral quickness
Daylin Pritchard – 2022/ 6’1
Coaches Thoughts: High IQ player, rebounds the ball well, has a quick first step, can finish at the rim, pretty good rhythm shooter really good at pushing and scoring the ball in transition, great at playing at angles on the defensive end.
