Cody Riley (Cali Styles)The HypeSports Winter Jam in Dallas, Texas was more than just HYPE. It featured some of the nation’s best ballers from all ages and was not short on highlights.
13U standouts:
Cody Riley #2 CaliStyles: the 6 7” big man came in highly touted and he did not disappoint. He dominated the 13U division and held his own up in the 14U division. The big lefty handled the ball in the open floor and did whatever his team needed. His decision making was so point guard like, he scored easily and created space for teammates to get buckets. Cleaning the glass on both ends was no problem for the big fellow either. This young man brought it every game and was definitely worth watching.
P.J. Washington #25 Texas Celtics Select: this 6 1” big man gave a valiant effort throughout the tournament on both ends of the court. His clutch baskets in the latter part of the games were amazing. His leadership skills were evident and he led his team consistently in all categories. Displayed a very soft touch on jump-shot from 15 feet on in.
D’Rell Roberts #5 Dallas Mustangs: this long and lanky point guard comes from a long line of basketball players in his family, he is anchoring the family tree. His pesky defense is off the chain and you can see it in the opposing player’s face. He ran his team with extreme precise passes and scored at will.
Adam Sieko #5 CaliStyles: this 6 3” recent reclassified banger was large in every facet of the game. I was impressed with his ball handling and body control. His footwork and speed was nice for a big man. Nice shooting touch and knew exactly how to use his size.
Koii Williams #24 Texas Express: young man shot the ball with great consistency. Worked hard on the defensive end and showed great improvement on the ball handling side. His scoring abilities were definitely visible game in and game out. Again, this young man showed that he could flat at shoot the rock on anyone.
