High School coaching staffs and fans cover the stands as the Fall Shootout presented that consisted of several TBB prospects. The saying evaluations, rankings have an opportunity to change every time prospects play is a true statement. There were players that jumped on our radar and prospects that made cases on bumping up (and down) on our rankings as we watched.
Samazha Hart, 2019 SF – Universal Academy: Hart oozes with potential as he possesses great length, athleticism and solid skill set that translates. There is still work to do but the promising forward rebounded well offensively and is a capable shooter off the move and catch.
Tyrese Maxey, 2019 PG – South Garland: Maxey’s decision making and ability to score on all three levels was on full display. Maxey committed himself on the defensive end and the energy he protruded transferred to his teammates.
Chris Harris, 2019 G – South Garland: Another prospect that displayed intensity on the defensive end was Harris. Chris connected consistently on jumpers with heavy contest and moved well without the ball.
Chris Turner, 2020 F – South Grand Prairie: Turner’s performance on Saturday was very encouraging. Chris showed a promising stroke from beyond the arc and was able to face his man and score off the bounce from 10-12 ft out.
Avery Anderson, 2019 – Justin Northwest: Smoove is best way to describe Avery Anderson’s offensive game as the guard for Northwest has a great feel and scores effortlessly. Avery is showing more bounce in traffic and is primed for a big season.
Julius Marble, 2019 C – Dallas Jesuit: Marble secured deep position in the paint and finished on a consistent basis. Marble faced up and showed potential as a shooter from 12 ft out. Consistently performed well at the GASO.
Quevian Adger, 2020 SF – Coppell: Adger was one of the top 2020 performers on Saturday as he played with an aggression and toughness that the staff likes to see. Rebounded, blocked shots, and was a effective decision maker in the open court.
Jaquan Scott, 2020 PF – Mansfield Timberview: Scott held his own in varsity play as he rebounded, active defensively and was a decent finisher in the paint. Scott is long and played with more of a sense of urgency than the staff has seen in the past.
Mike Miles, 2020 PG – Lancaster: One thing that stood out to the staff was Miles’s larger frame as the sophomore guard used his improved strength to take contact and finish through contact. What was most impressive was focus on crashing the boards defensively due to the lack of frontcourt depth his team possess.
Drew Timme, 2019 PF – JJ Pearce: Timme was a force offensively as he scored 30 points at the half in JJ Pearce’s first game on Saturday. Timme was comfortable handling the ball in transition, rebounded on both ends, and navigated well in tight spaces.
