Dallas, TX, The home of the Dallas Mavericks, “Americas Team” The Dallas Cowboys, The Texas State Fair and the location of part three of Texasboysbasketball.com’s 10 Day Prospect Analysis. There is plenty amount of talent in the DFW and that’s going down to the the young 2021 class and also going all the way up from what is shaping to be a memorable group with the 2019 class. We dive in on 20 prospects in this edition of our breakdowns.
Joey Madimba, 2020 Wing -Nike ProSkills 16U: Madimba will be in our updated 2020 prospect database. He was a large reason ProSkills 16U landed into the finals in the 17U division at the GASO.
Julian Larry, 2020 PG – YGC36 16U: Where does Julian Larry rank among-st point guards in his class? After what we saw during Memorial Day Weekend from the Cream of The Crop Alum, we would say high. Larry embraced the challenge going up against Urban DFW and put together a strong performance.
Jalen Wilson, 2019 SF – YGC36: Wilson broke his hand during the Adidas Qualifier in Dallas but when he played, the Michigan Wolverine commit showed why he is a top 10 player in his class with his overall game.
Jarius Hicklen, 2019 CG – Crab5: A poised guard out of Desoto, Hicklen continues to take leadership of his squad and guide them to victories. Have been impressed with his skill and toughness as of late.
Marcus Sasser, 2019 CG – Urban DFW: The fire symbol should be put on beside Sasser’s name from his performances not only in the past 10 days but even in the past 30. He is on a tear offensively and putting together high, efficient scoring outings.
Angel Dibwa, 2020 C – Urban DFW: Dibwa shakes things up in the paint. He’s physical and Angel provides a presence in the paint for Urban.
Deaunte Lee, 2019 SG – Dallas Showtyme: It only takes one three pointer for the rest of the shots to consecutively fall in for Lee. Deaunte knocked down 7 shots from deep and was huge in Dallas Showtyme’s win vs Team Faith.
D’Quarius Burton, 2020 PG – Dallas Showtyme 16U: Burton had a strong showing against Drive Nation’s 16U as the savvy guard contributed in numerous ways when he was on the court.
Cade Cunningham, 2020 Wing – Drive Nation: Cunningham was one of if not the best player the staff watched during Memorial Day Weekend. Cunningham showed why he is one of the best prospects in the state, regardless of classification.
Logan McCaughlin, 2020 PG – 3D Empire: Was really impressed with the progressions of Logan’s game. We know he can shoot the ball but his performance playing point and running a team only helped his stock.
Jakevan Leftridge, 2019 Wing – Dallas Mustangs: We have seen growth in Leftridge’s game in a 25 day window. Jakevan on both ends of the court made things tough for the opposition.
Jayhlon Young, 2019 PG – BigTyme Sports: Jayhlon had a very strong performance against Team Faith as he got to the paint on a consistent basis due to his quickness. A talented guard Produced.
Jordan Simmons, 2019 CG – Texas Impact 4:13: Simmons against Ballers Nation made 7 threes to finish up scoring over 30 points. On Memorial Day Weekend, Simmons showed the skill-set the staff was impressed with when we saw him at the Elite 80 Scout Focus Camp in February.
Jonathan Aku, 2020 C – Texas Impact 4:13: It took 2, really one game from Aku to for the staff to firmly believe he is a top 10 player in his class. Aku is primed for a huge July if he can continue to build off of his performances of late.
Zach Smith, 2019 Wing – Level Up Black: Zach maybe a top 75 prospect in his class, as the wing from Fort Worth compiled a string of consistent, strong performances in front of the TBB staff.
Caleb Lohner, 2020 Wing – BMM: Lohner showed why the staff believe he is a top 10 player in his class and Lohner is trying to make a push to crack the top 5. He still has to show some things but we like how Lohner has been coming a long.
Quevian Adger, 2020 SF – BMM: Adger against TJ Ford Austin was very productive. We have seen this from Adger in the past but the staff can tell the growth in his game. If Adger can keep everything in check, he has a chance to be really good in this game.
2021 Notables
Harrison Ingram, 2021 Wing – YGC36 16U: Ingram has shown progressions in his game and it was noticeable when we watched him play. He excelled in his duties for the young YGC36 squad and is arguably a top 10-12 prospect in his class.
Wade Taylor, 2021 PG – Urban DFW: Speaking of top players in his class, Wade Taylor’s performances in the 17U division puts him in the conversation. Taylor has in the past 10 days has produced.
Damon Nicholas, 2021 SG – YGC36 15U: YGc36 15U did a really good job playing in the 17U division and Damon Nicholas was a big part of that. He shot it well from deep and is another promising prospect in the 2021 class.
Christian Green, 2021 Wing – Lonestar Elite: Green oozes with talent and has a high ceiling. He has more than held his own playing 17U basketball and we are liking the growth from the talented wing from Plano, Tx.
