Championship Top Performers
Bryce Aiken Guard (KSK)- It was another stellar performance by Aiken. He doesn’t look it but he’s very strong with the rock and knows how to score in various ways. When his jumper is falling like it was today it makes his dribble drives more effective. He loves draining treys that breaks the opposing team’s heart.Justin Salem Guard (KSK)- This was my first look at Salem and he brings a lot of game to the table. He’s very poised and will either bury the jumper, convert a layup or throw a swift pass. He gives KSK another dangerous backcourt prodigy.
Temple Gibbs Guard (KSK)- Gibbs just bullied his way to the hole while carrying a few Team MVP players in the process. Gibbs got his teammates involved by getting into the lane and dropping off dimes. He constantly puts pressure on the defense with his sharp handle and ability to get to the bucket. James Wright Forward (Team MVP)- Wright made some good moves inside even after the game got out of reach. He has a knack for scoring but will need to work on going hard to his left.
Trey Lowe Guard (Team MVP)- Lowe was cold from the perimeter but still did other things like moving the rock and getting the break started. He’s always a threat on the floor.
