Basketball Spotlight Season Preview: DMV 14U Preview

Team Takeover Should Be Ready To Go!

The basketball season has arrived and Basketball Spotlight will kick things off with our season previews. We decided to do breakdown each AAU district by age and give you an inside look to some of the teams. Here’s look at the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) 14U Preview. It is a little thin but we only can go with what we know and saw. I think we will be able to give a more in depth look very soon. (Remember some things can change because no rosters are set.)

Team To Beat: Team Takeover

The MDC champs posses some swagger and a squad that can erupt at any tournament. They proved themselves by taking home the Gold Ball in May. Look for them to cause a lot of noise in the Potomac Valley.

Darkhorse: Richmond Phenom

This squad took home 7th place at the Nationals and probably feel like they are the team to beat. They have good reason because when the going gets tough they get going. They are the favorites once again to win their state crown.

Preseason Player Of The Year: Leroy Butts (Future Players)

When I found out Butts was a 2015 player it was a no brainer for preseason POY. This kid packed the tools to dominate last season so he is a player that you have to be concerned about. He’s already 6’6 with some perimeter skills that make him a scary prospect.
