Quevian Adger has seen large leaps in his game year by year and on Friday at the Main Floor, he impacted the game on both sides of the ball as he scored inside and out in BMM’s win vs Texas Impact 4:13 Winn. Adger was instrumental in his team’s success on the boards and their success rate in capatilizing on fast break opportunities. Quevian still needs to polish his game but the staff is impressed by the length, skill improvement rate and motor he plays with.
Drew Timme Shows Versatility
2019 Drew Timme showcased his full offensive repertoire in ProSkills win vs Texas Impact 4:13. Timme handled the ball in the open court and scored when he operated on the block and 15 ft out. The JJ Pearce product finished with either hand and his presence in the paint open up scoring opportunities for his guards. Timme is #6 in our 2019 TBB rankings and showed a skillset that will translate to the high major level.

The #1 and #2 players in Texas faced off at the Main Floor as Greg Brown of Dallas Seawolves (TBB #1 Player) and RJ Hampton of Texas BU Nation (TBB #2 Player) went on a scoring spree.

Obanor, LeDee & Sule Mane the Front Court for Texas Pro

Sule was the highest scorer of the front court trio with 17 pts and Obanor, who scored 14 points was able to generate second and third chance opportunities for himself and seemed to have a nose for the ball.
