Many scouts look for potential when ranking players. The scout’s dream is a lanky player with athletic ability combined with ball handling skills. During my trip to Ohio for the Best Of The Best Showcase I ran into such a player. His name is James Manns and he plays for the SCAA Buckeyes. I got chance to talk to Manns after one of their games and here’s our One On One.One On One
