5'10 Kobe Parker of Carolina Stars Elite 2022 had a great first game today. Really got to his spots with ease and really put the ball in the hole. Scored from all three levels and showed the ability to run and finish in transition. Showed the ability to hit open shots as well. Finished with a game high 30 pts.
6'3 Marcus Farley Jr. of Team Together 16U can flat out play. I love his game and how he plays at his own pace. Scores the ball effortlessly and really fills up the stat sheet. Plays within the offense and doesn't force bad shots. Really gets out in transition and finishes. Showed his high IQ as he continuously found his teammates in the right spot for them to score. College Coaches should definitely take notice of this kid.
6'2 Sam Cogan of Team Together 16U really attacks the paint hard and puts a ton of pressure on the defense. Lived in the pain all game and really scored around the rim. Showed the ability to also knock down open shots as he hit a few from three as well. Really solid, fundamental guard who is a Scholarship-Level Player.
6'2 Russell Branch of Carolina Pressure 16U is a terrific point guard. Really controls the pace and speed of the game. Really breaks down the defense and gets to the lane. Creates for his teammates at a very high level and really takes pride in his passing. Scores well in the paint and in transition. Defends well and really keeps guys in front of him. Very craft ball handler and is a player college coaches should have on their list.
6'4 Nakeem Isaac of Carolina Pressure 16U has a great body/ frame and the strength to really dominate in the paint. Showed the ability to handle the ball in transition and really get into the lane. Scores the ball very well in the paint and rebounds the ball on both sides. The most impressive part of his game to me was the way he found his teammates and passed the ball. Showed the ability to be a versatile player on both ends of the floor. Finished the game with 18 pts, 14pts all in the second half as he fought to lead his team to a win.
6'3 Alex Olander of Team Thrill NC 15U played very well today. He is one of those players that does everything well and really standouts by also doing the little things.
