North Texas was a hotspot for Hoops last week with battles between UIL 4A-6A schools and TBB prospects. Get to know Demarcus Fisher’s game and of top performers from last week.

Jakevan Leftridge, 2019 SF – Wilmer Hutchins: Leftridge has an intriguing skill-set as the forward plays with length and made his offensive contributions operating off the bounce and finishing on put back opportunities. The long, slender forward has been impressive in the last 10 days and is a prospect to continue to look at throughout the year.

Jalen Wilson, 2019 SF – Denton Guyer: Wilson has collaborated constant efficient performances for Denton Guyer as the TBB high major prospect. Wilson has shown a diverse skill set in the process as he is a tough, physical player who has the ability to shoot off the catch and moves well without the ball.

De’Vion Harmon, 2019 PG – Denton Guyer: Harmon nabbed the MVP for the Spring Creek Tournament as the gritty, talented guard imposes his will in ball games. He has a relentless approach in attacking the basket and makes defenses pay when they are lax defensively. Harmon has performed just as good if not better than any guard in the state of Texas so far in the season.

Jae LeDee, 2018 PF – Kinkaid: Talking about players that have been imposing their will, Buckeye commit Jae LeDee has been making his mark in the paint and has an impressive double-double average to start the season. Jae handles the ball in the open court and was able to consistently convert on shots through contact.

Isaiah LeBlanc, 2020 Guard – Kinkaid: LeBlanc in the half-court setting was efficient as he was able to keep his defender guessing when operating off the triple threat. LeBlanc has shown steady improvement over the summer and texasboysbasketball.com will keep track of Isaiah throughout the season.

Wade Taylor, 2021 PG – Lancaster: Taylor against South Oak Cliff was in the staff’s opinion the best player on the court last Tuesday. He handled pressure, fires away off the dribble, off the catch and has a competitive spirit about him. Taylor constructed a 25 pt performance which was vital in a back and forth battle vs SOC.

Kylon Owens, 2020 PF – South Oak Cliff: “KO” stat line doesn’t draw a viewer but his time on the court, Owen’s showed that he has put time in stretching his game. He possess a solid release from 12 ft out and nabbed the ball coming off the rim consistently.

Demarcus Fisher, 2018 PF – Roosevelt: The unsign senior forward has been a strong interior presence for Roosevelt. Blocking, shots, corralling rebounds in his area and finishing above the rim when the opportunity presents itself.
