JJ Watson (CB Spiders)The D 1 Spects Converse Elite Tournament kicked off this weekend in Atlanta, Georgia and Basketball Spotlight was in the building. We took a special interest in the 12U Division and decided to breakdown our top performers by position. Here’s a look at the top scoring guards at this event.
Top Scoring Guards
JJ Watson Guard (CB Spiders)- Watson was probably to top pure scorer I saw today. The big guard scores the rock from all three levels with a Carmelo Anthony type smoothness. In transition he glides to the rim and finishes. This was a great pick up for the Spiders and should help them make a run at the AAU Nationals.
Ty’shon Alexander Guard (CB Spiders)- We all know Alexander can score but he really impressed me with his court vision today. The big guard feed the post from different angles and made it his business to dish to teammates. But when his team needed a bucket he definitely filled the void. 
Nojel Eastern Guard (AI9)- Nojel played lockdown defense today while moving his feet very well. On offense he’s a physical guard that absorbs contact when penetrating and finishing. He has decent range on his jump shot and should use it more. 
Darius Perry Guard (Worldwide)- Perry can score buckets in a hurry. He loves the open floor and pushing the ball down the throat of the defense. I also like his mid-range stop and pop. On defense he’s athletic enough to be a total pest on the ball and in the passing lanes. 
DJ Heath Guard (Southeast Elite)- This Alabama product hurt the Spiders early on by getting to the tin. Once he got near the shot blockers he used great body control to protect the ball and score. He finished the game as the high man for Southeast Elite.
