April is one of the biggest months when it comes to the AAU season. Players and teams are looking to play in the right events, which is why Phenom Hoop Report is hoping to provide that platform all month long.
We kick off the month of April in a big way with the Stay Positive, as teams from all over the region will come to compete. Nationally ranked players and teams, along with unsigned talented seniors, and rising prospects will all be on the courts this weekend in Greensboro.
So let’s dive into a few players to watch this weekend.
Team: NC Go Hard 16u
6’2” 2022 Christian “CJ” Johnson, PG/SG
Coaches Talk: CJ started for the JV Men’s Basketball Team at Leesville Road High School in Raleigh, NC this year. He was a Captain and led his Team in points with an average 15ppg. He is a very versatile guard with great basketball IQ, ability to shoot from the perimeter or attack the basket when required, as well as being a great defensive player. He’s extremely quick and gets the ball down the court. He played up 15U last AAU season and is currently playing up 16U this AAU season. CJ is definitely one of NC’s class of 2022 talented guard prospects to watch.
6’ 2021 Leonardo “Leo” Antxane, G
Coaches Talk: Leo played for the Varsity Men’s Basketball Team at Enloe High School in Raleigh, NC this year. He’s an incredibly athletic guard prospect with natural talent. He penetrates with ease and attacks the basket creating opportunities to score. Leo is a slept-on player in NC’s 2021 class that will definitely make his debut this AAU season.
