Houston, TX, in what is considered a down year for the rising senior class (2019) in the city, the TBB staff saw promise in several prospects from the Bayou City. There is a 2018 prospect from Ridge Point that is getting attention and we take a look at a few 2021 prospects in our second part of the 10 Day Analysis.
Elijah Elliot, 2020 PG – D1 Houston: A 2020 guard that has done himself some good in front of the TBB staff has been Elijah Elliott. He’s still has some ways to go but the talented guard for D1 Houston produced.
Jordan Wallace, 2018 Wing – Mo Taylor Elite: We don’t use the word sleeper or under the radar much when we talk about players but a kid that has flown under the radar has been Jordan Wallace. The unsign senior is expected to have a big summer and has generated some buzz due to his play.
Jordan Turner, 2019 SF – Team Faith: Turner possess a lot of talent and during Memorial Day Weekend he showed why he is a division 1 prospect. There’s more Turner can show but in spurts where he turned up the notch, he looked really good.
DJ Young, 2019 CG – Houston Superstars: Young shot the ball very well for Houston Superstars. DJ has deep range, notched double figure totals in match-ups we watched and provided stability at the guard spot for John Eury’s group.
Ronald Harleston, 2019 SG – Houston Superstars: Harelston has shown strides in his game from 12 months ago and yes, athletically he stands out but Harleston skillset has been coming along. A top 65 prospect in the 2019 class, the staff is waiting to see if he will turn the corner.
Nate Martin, 2020 PF – Texas Pro 16U: Talking about producing, that’s exactly what Nate Martin did for Texas Pro 16U vs Drive Nation’s 16U team. He put together 19 points and Nate continues to impress when the staff watches him play.
Marcus Merchant, 2018 PF – Texas Pro 17U: We last saw Merchant at the “Get Ready, Go Live” Event in Houston in April and Marcus again excelled in his role as a rim runner and rebounder.
Trey Singleton, 2019 Wing – TESA: Singleton is another TBB prospect that has put together a compilations of solid performances in front of the staff. Trey’s motor and athleticism was on full display.
Jourdan Smith, 2019 SF – Team Harden: The New Orleans native has been a bright spot for Team Harden. He’ll give you everything hes got on the court and at the Adidas Qualifier in Dallas, Smith put together good numbers on the stat sheet.
2021 Notables
PJ Neal, 2021 PG – Team Faith 16U: It’s been a while since I watched Neal play and what stood out was he noticeably put in the work to expand his offensive game. A rising sophomore that did a very solid job playing in the 17U division.
Chris Felix, 2021 Wing – Nike ProSkills 16U: Felix play was up and down but when he got in a groove he showed why the staff is high on the wing from Hightower. Felix is definitely a to 25 prospect in the 2021 class.
