Basketball Spotlight Feature: Lamar Kimble (Where's The Love?)


I’ve seen just about ranking system for middle school players in the country and Lamar Kimble is nowhere in sight. This is hard to believe because Kimble has to be one of the top guards in the United States of America. The Team Final combo has dominated the competition in every event from the MIT to the Atlantic City Showcase. Freshy as he is called recently lead TF to the 13U Championship at the AGame Super Shootout. His coach and former NBA player Pervis Ellison agrees that Kimble’s props are due “Many services pay attention to my son (Malik) and our big man Trey but Lamar is the best guard I’ve seen this year. We have played some of the top teams in the country and I will have to say he’s the best” said Ellison.

Ellison is also determined to make sure that Kimble will continue to get better. “Our practices are set up with professional type drills so Fresh gets challenged every day. He’s a throwback Philly guard meaning hardnosed and physical with unlimited potential” Ellison finished. Team Final is on a quest to win the National Title once they head to Memphis. Hopefully, some of these recruiting experts that do rankings will be in attendance and finally give this kid the nod. I know if there was a national voting system my ballot would read Lamar Kimble.

Basketball Spotlight will continue to follow players like Lamar Kimble and others to keep you guys updated on the youth basketball world.
