Baby Baller Bonanza Top Performers 12U Part 1
Brandon Askew Forward (NWK)- In the past Askew showed his dominance in the post but at this event he opened up his entire game. Brandon was the most accurate 3 point shooter from this event. He shot the trey ball with confidence while being a matchup nightmare for the defense. He punished the opposition with strong drives and acrobatic finishes. Askew was by far the most productive player this weekend in Lakewood. He posted big numbers each game out.
Tyrek Chambers Forward (Team IZOD)- Chambers finally looks comfortable with the “Fly Guys”. His best performance came against Playtime in their come from behind semifinal win. Tyrek killed the green and black with polished post moves and strong transitional finishes. He does need to understand that he doesn’t need to push the ball up the floor himself after grabbing the rebound but instead outlet the rock to a guard for the secondary or fast break. 
D’Marco Baucey Forward (DC Assault)- Wow, we might be looking at the future of Potomac Valley basketball. Baucey stands about 6’5 and can literally play all five positions on the floor. He was undeniably the best prospect in the building even after falling short of leading his team to the finals. He might be one of the best overall prospects in the entire DC Assault program.
Jalen Brooks Guard (Team IZOD)- Brooks averaged double figures during the Bonanza including leading to team with 16 markers against Team Final. The majority of his buckets came on breakaway lay ups as Team IZOD got up and down the floor quickly. He brings a wealth of winning experience to this squad and they utilize it when they need to make a comeback. 
Al-Quan Dwight Guard (NWK)- The kid with the black long sleeves brought a lot of swagger to the Bonanza. He shot down defenses from the perimeter while also breaking down opposing guards with his slick handle. During their victory over DC Assault Dwight broke the ankles of 3 defenders trying to trap him in the corner. "Brick City" has another big time guard on the horizon.
Tavon Jones Guard (Team IZOD)- Jones has become the glue guy for this squad. He uses his speed and athleticism to fill the lane, help out on the boards and play the passing lanes on defense. He’s one of the best slashers on this age level. He’s definitely the type of player that leaves everything on the floor when he’s done playing.
