Baby Baller MLK Classic 12U Top Guards Part 1
Jalen Lecque (Playtime Panthers)- The purpose of this event was to give the Baby Ballers a stage to shine and Lecgue took full advantage. He starred as a scorer and passer all weekend but really stepped in their quarterfinal win versus KSK. Jalen scored a game high 21 points including a big time trey ball in the closing minutes. He had a big time weekend.
Jahid Jenkins (NWK)- His team suffered a few tough losses but I like some of the attributes he possesses. Jenkins has great size and some wiggle to his game which is always a plus. They way he glided through the lane and used his body to shield blockers while scoring reminded me of a young Randy Foye. Keep your eye on this kid. I see some bright things in his future. 
Zegary Scott (Playtime Panthers)- Scott proved to be a tough backcourt mate with Lecque. He was in the mix applying the defensive pressure and converting turnovers into easy buckets. He can play both guard spots well but is more suited for running the point. He’s one of the most underrated guards in the region.Preston Bacon (DC Assault)- Every kid dreams of making a buzzer beater and Bacon’s fantasy came true as he nailed a quarter court shot as time expired in their semifinal win versus Playtime. The southpaw was also the only player on his team playing with energy as they loss the finals. To their credit they only had 6 players.
Alonzo Huron (NWK)- The pint size guard from “Brick City” has a lot of game. He breezed through the defense while creating space with a low but slick handle. Some defenders might take Huron lightly because of his appearance but he definitely will hurt their feelings with his play.Quashawn Lane (Team Final)- Lane came over after starring for T Town Ballers last season and hasn’t skipped a beat. In fact his best game was when he tallied 13 points in their pool play win against his former squad. We will be watching to see how he progresses with his new team.
