Texasboysbasketball.com recalls over the last 12-15 years the D1 prospects that have graced the uniforms of two of the longer standing and respected (Oak Cliff) Dallas based grassroots programs. NBA Players such as Darrell Arthur, Jordan Mickey, Jalen Jones are part of a rich pedigree and tradition that Dallas Showtyme and Urban DFW possess and at the King Arthur Classic (Darrell Arthur’s name sake) TBB’s staff witness a high energy, memorable affair that remained a one to two possession game all the way to the end. The Dallas Showtyme vs Urban DFW Elite match up never disappoints and here are some of the next D1 prospects that stepped on center court (Duncanville Fieldhouse).
The Young Ones
Urban edged Showtyme in a 63-59 slugfest lead by the ‘Young Ones’ in 2021 Duncan Powell and Wade Taylor continue to play major roles in Urban DFW’s success this season. The rising sophomores gathered 24 points collectively (Taylor 15, Powell 9) as they found a home at the free throw line attempting 15 free throws all together. Powell has been high on Texasboysbasbetball.com list for a while and we like where his development is heading towards. Taylor has used the scholastic and grassroots season to emerge as arguably the top guard in his class and is receiving and being offered by high major programs.
Lee, Cork, Williams Produced
If there is one position Erven “Big E” Davis has always contained in his arsenal, it is strong guard play. 2019 Cobe Williams strung together a 11 point outing against Urban DFW as the guard for Dallas Can Academy is lehtal in the open court. Deaunte Lee is a threat from beyond the arc as the Kimball product knocked down 3 threes on his way to being the high point man for Showtyme with 15 points. He isn’t a guard, but 2019 Xavier Cork out of Sulphur Springs impacted the game and deserves to be mentioned in his recap. Cork accumulated 12 points and we have seen tougher player out of Cork in the past three months.
Sasser Has Elevated His Game
Along with Wade Taylor, 2019 Marcus Sasser scored 15 points in his team’s win vs Dallas Showtyme. Marcus continuously drew fouls and knocked down 9 free throws but no matter what team or player has matched up against Sasser, the guard out of Red Oak has produced. In a loaded 2019 class, Sasser is in the conversation as a top 5 guard in his class as his trajectory keeps trending upwards.
