Christopher Towle (Nova Scotia, Canada)The CT Adidas Jr. Phenom Camp kicked off today and Basketball Spotlight traveled to New Haven, Connecticut to give you the recap. First we will take a look at the top 8th Graders at this event.
Day 1 Class 2016 Top Performers
Christopher Towle Guard (Nova Scotia, CAN)- The guard from North of the Border was one of the top showmen in this event. He plays with a White Chocolate type flair while remaining effective during the flow of the game. Defenders had a hard time timing his dribbles and staying in front of this craft guard. He also finishes well with either hand.
Amorri Walters Guard (Queens, NY)- The lefty shoots high arching jumpers but really enjoys crossing defenders to get to the tin. He looked like a freight train when pushing the rock in transition. Walter's plays the game with a high level of confidence.
Milan Lester Guard (East Hartford, CT)- Lester was another fresh face than impressed me. He danced around the defense while scoring or dishing the rock very easily. He makes it look so easy that some might think he’s not playing hard. 
Juquan Mills Guard (Boston, MA)- Mills was very exciting to watch. His double crossovers backed up defenders and he has a good floater in his arsenal. He has a small frame but plays a big game full of moves and passion. 
Mark Carbone Guard (Wetherfield, CT)- This kid can play either guard spot well. He surveys the floor like a surgeon and as the size to score in traffic. We look forward to seeing him play during the AAU season. 
Emmanuel Chukwu Forward (New York, NY)- Standing 6’9 Emmanuel is long way from a finished products. On this level he rebounds and alters shots without leaving the floor. But he will have to develop strength, post moves, footwork and touch. He has a long road but his size alone as him off to a good start.
Victor Owens Guard (Boston, MA)- The pint size point guard didn’t back down from the competition. Instead he charged the lane and used a pull up to convert buckets. He’s smart enough to stay away from trap spots on the floor and reverse the ball during double teams. 
Malik Jackson Guard (Boston, MA)- The lefty ran the show for his team while mixing up passing and scoring himself. He made a living of getting into the lane all afternoon and making things happen.
