Name: John Venturi
AAU Team: Team Battle
Position: Guard
Class: 2016
Breakdown: Anyone wondering why Team Battle has dominated the local AAU scene for the last two years should have seen John's performance at the Hoop Group's Jr. Elite Camp. His ball-handling skills and smooth-as-silk jumper made him the top 11 year old in the house. However, on Team Battle, he is the fourth option at the guard position. TALK ABOUT DEPTH! John has been selected to represent the U.S.A. in the Junior Olympics basketball competition this summer in Vienna, Austria. He will begin a Baller Diary for Spotlight when training begins.
