Lehigh Valley Super 60 Showcase Recap: Seymour Stars In Lehigh Valley

Kevin Seymour Was Too Much In Lehigh Valley!

Basketball Spotlight traveled to Allentown, Pennsylvania for the Lehigh Valley Super 60 Showcase. This event gave us a chance to watch some familiar faces and a few new ballers. Here’s Part 1 of our report.

Top Performers Part 1

Kevin Seymour Guard- Seymour established himself early as the top performer of the day. He breezed past the defense and finished with either a pull up or gliding lay-up. He had defenders on gates all afternoon and made things look very easy for the most part. This was his personal playground.


Nazier Chew Guard- Chew is slowly making a statement as the top PG in the region. He got where ever he wanted on the floor while setting up teammates or scoring himself. He looked good pushing the rock in transition and penetrating the gaps. When he’s focused on the game he’s tough to deal with.

Mike Silverthorn Forward- Mike displayed all facets of his game. He nailed a few jumpers, hit the glass and more importantly created a few plays off the dribble. I love his eagerness to handle the pill while developing a perimeter game. He took over the game at times.

Adeyinka Adams Guard- Adams wasn’t his usual explosive self but he still showed some flashes of being able to score the rock. He got out into transition and filled the lane while finishing off plays. He also looked good slashing through the lane occasionally.


Franscisco Zeno Guard- “The Microwave” heated up quickly. This kid can score many different ways regardless of the defensive schemes. He specializes in using his body to shield shot blockers while converting tough lay ups. He brought his game to Lehigh Valley today.

Austin White Guard- White looked like a legit combo guard today. He’s grown a few inches and looked to score a little more than in the past. He has deep range on his outside shot and the craftiness to score in traffic.


Ashton Lofton Guard- Lofton had some good moments during his play. His ability to dribble both ways with the rock and finish with his left hand stood out. His handle kept defenders off balance and gave him the chance to get to the tin at will.

Donovan Wright Guard- Wright was on fire in the All Star Game. He buried six treys while setting up in the corner. Wright felt very comfortable in this environment as his confidence grew after each trey ball.

AL-Jamier Mallary Forward- Mallary used his wide frame to pin defenders under the basket while scoring on the blocks. He’s not the most athletic but he does know how lower his shoulder to create space and get his shot off.

David Williams Forward- Williams has a chance to be one of the best prospects in the building. Right now he’s in project form but you can’t teach his size or eagerness to handle the rock. Remember you heard it first here.
