Moody Park Summer League Top Performers (Middle School Division)

Freddie Young Jr

The Moody Park Summer League is underway and Basketball Spotlight stepped on the court yesterday. We got a chance to check out the middle school division and here are the top performers we saw. 

Moody Park Summer League Top Performers 

Freddie Young Jr. Guard (YSU Elite)- Young is the talk of the Mercer County area of the rising frosh. The smooth combo guard proved why yesterday. He scores with from all three levels and makes it look easy. I love the way he flows in transition while either dropping a dime or finishing himself. He led his team with 12 markers as they cruised to the victory.

Dameon Samuels Guard (YSU Elite)- The lefty compliments Samuels well. He runs the floor and finishes with ease. He also has developed some play making skills of his own in terms of breaking down defenders and dropping dimes.

Brandon Hendryx Forward (YSU Elite)- Hendryx is more mobile than his younger days and showed soft hands on the blocks. Since his team used the transition game often he didn’t get many touches but we could still see his effectiveness.

Terrell Pitts Guard (Latimer’s Construction)- Pitts scoring prowess was on full display yesterday and when you add in that he’s only a rising 8th Grader we might have something here. He used his size to be hard to contain in the open floor and half court situations. He has some wiggle in his game and ability to finish. He tallied 16 markers in the win.

Doug Evans Jr Guard (Latimer’s Construction)- Pitts’s teammates Evans also tallied 16 markers while scoring from all three levels. He has a smoothness about his game and showed some instincts of a play maker. I like the body control he shows when avoiding shot blockers and to get his shot off in traffic.

Gabe Mitchell-White Guard (Latimer’s Construction)- Mitchell-White is another rising 8th Grader that caught my eye. He’s more of a point guard than scorer. I like how he got all his scoring teammates involved and seemed to enjoy doing it. He another one we will be keeping a close eye on.

Kahzir Brown Guard (Team Wilkins)- Brown brought the energy and effectiveness on both ends of the floor. I like how he attacked the hole and was also able to hit the pull up jumper. His release point is a little low but that should develop as he gets stronger. On defense he was a hawk in the passing lanes and even chased down an opponent for a block.

Amar Lane Forward (Kelcher and Associates)- With some hard work this lanky forward could be the best prospect I saw yesterday. The rising 8th Grader stands about 6’4 with a serious wing span. He’s still developing his game and is not even scratching the surface of his potential. Stay tuned on Lane.

Basketball Spotlight MDC 6th Grade Top Performers

Christian Kirkland

The Basketball Spotlight MDC 6th Grade Division gave us a look at some usual suspects and fresh faces. Here’s a look at some of the top performers from the weekend. 

Basketball Spotlight MDC 6th Grade Top Performers 

Christian Kirkland Forward (B&B Running Rebels)- There’s not many players in the region that can dominate a game without scoring many points but Christian is one of those players. His length causes so many problems on the defensive end while blocking or altering shots. He also eats the glass on both ends of the floor. On offense, he could score along the baseline, in the paint and on put backs. He looks like a young Marcus Camby. He has to be in the conversation as the best regional prospect in this class.

Jacob Beccles Guard (B&B Running Rebels)- Beecles continued his hot play from the AC Showcase. This combo guard can score with the best of them when he gets hot. He uses good body control and a scoring touch to get buckets. I also like the way he puts it on the deck and uses a change of direction dribble at the drop of a dime.

Brian Dawkins Guard (B&B Running Rebels)- Every squad needs an outside threat and Dawkins provides the punch for the Philly crew. He has no problem getting things done on the perimeter. His best outing came against in town rival Fidonce Bulldogs as he finished with 13 points while nailing 3 treys.

Rylan Muniz Guard (WE R 1 LV)- Muniz was perhaps the best shooter in the division at the MDC. Kid stroked it from everywhere. In the heated semifinals against East Coast Elite he drained 6 treys and collected 24 points to help them reach the finals. He finished the day with 4 treys in their championship loss.

Nick Ellis Guard (WE R 1 LV)- The big guard and play maker can see over most defenders which helps him in passing and scoring. He also has a ratchet from deep which he also showed during the semifinals with 17 points (3 treys).

Owen Johnson Forward (WE R 1 LV)- Johnson is a high energy wing that plays the game with great passion. He’s capable of chasing down a play for a block on one end and then finishing off the fast break with a layup on the other end. He can also step out a knockdown the jumper. He was huge all tournament with 19 points in the semifinals and 22 points in their championship loss. He was a beast.

Kyle Johnson Guard (WE R 1 LV)- The other Johnson is built like a running back and is also difficult to contain. He can be a monster in transition because he’s dribbling downhill. He averaged double figures over the weekend and finished with 13 points in the championship loss.

Basketball Spotlight MDC 7th Grade Top Performers

Zion Cruz

The Basketball Spotlight MDC 7th Grade Division probably had the most talent in the event. Here’s a look at the players that caught our eye at the Memorial Day Classic. 

Basketball Spotlight MDC 7th Grade Top Performers 

Zion Cruz Guard (Hilltoppers Heat)- After the Bleacher Report video entered this event with a lot of expectations and the 7th Grader delivered. He’s standing close to 6’2 and the explosiveness is very apparent. He was an instant scoring machine at times and showed off his improved athleticism. He’s beginning to separate himself from the pack and his new measuring stick has become national.

Chance Westry Guard (Hilltoppers Heat)- The silky-smooth wing was a pleasant surprise. He already has the size for the position and the game to match. He can score it from all three levels and get anywhere he wants on the floor. He has tons of potential ahead of him and will be one to watch. 

Dariq Whitehead Forward (Hilltoppers Heat)- Whitehead is without a doubt one of the best prospects on the country. He opened his game up during the MDC and even let us see his range. He’s one of the best finishers in the land by far. He finished with 18 points in the championship and kept his rep intact.

Jayden Pierre Guard (Team Rio National)- Pierre once again put together a good weekend. His impossible to stop this kid was getting into the lane and he finishes well around the rim. He’s very smooth with the “Jelly” type finish even around shot blockers. I like how he stepped up on the big stage.

Corey Floyd Guard (Team RIO National)- Floyd is another scoring machine for this RIO bunch. When his trey ball is dropping he’s more difficult to stop. He can stroke it well from deep while also possessing a driving game. He hit up the Hoop Kingz Elite for 18 points.

AJ Pierre Forward (Team Rio National)- Pierre has his best Spotlight outing. He was totally dominant in the paint on both ends of the floor. Standing 6’7 he showed soft hands and developing footwork courtesy of I’m Possible. If he continues in this direction he will be on the national radar shortly.

Elijah Perkins Guard (Team Rio National)- Perkins was a good finisher in transition. He filled the lanes well while finishing through contact. He’s a natural scorer and gets it done in bunches. I love how fluid he looks handling the rock and creating plays.

Basketball Spotlight MDC 8th Grade Top Performers

Rahsool Diggins

The Basketball Spotlight MDC 8th Grade Division had some talent. Here’s a look at some of the top performers from the weekend in Neptune. 

Basketball Spotlight MDC 8th Grade Top Performers 

Rahsool Diggins Guard (Team Final)- Diggins showed he has improved as a point guard in terms of decision making and making other people better. He got into the lane at will and created opportunities. I like his quickness and craftiness to get the job done. He knows how to mix up plays and get the job done.

Zaakir Williamson Forward (Team Final)- Williamson really impressed us with his ability to get the job done away from the basket. He was able breakdown defenders and score the rock on all three levels. I also like to way he maneuvers around shot blockers on the baseline and in the paint. He demonstrated top notch body control. He has totally transformed to the wing.

Christian Tomasco Forward (Team Final)- Tomasco showed he could hit the face up jumper and clean the glass for rebounds. On defense, he’s capable of blocking or altering shots. I like how he runs the floors and finishes off plays. He’s a prospect that you have to keep an eye.

Khalil Farmer Guard (Team Final)- Farmer is one of the best prospects on the floor. He has a lot of wiggle in his game. He has matured on the floor and has become a legit wing player. I like the way he finishes and plays both ends of the floor. He will be a player to watch from the Philly area.

Sam Fagan Guard (Jersey Force)- The point guard was perhaps the best shooter in the building. In the finals, he started the game by banging home 4 straight treys. The beauty of his game is that he doesn’t force the action or shots. He lets the game come to him but when burn you when needed. He definitely led the tourney in 3 point shots. He nailed 6 treys in the championship and finished with 24 markers.

Zachery Orrico Guard (Jersey Force)- Orrico plays the backcourt with Fagan and also has great range. He plays well with the drive and dish game and plays intense defense. He hit a couple of treys from the NBA range.

Michael White Forward (Jersey Force)- White is another shooter from the Jersey Force. He has a little more size than Fagan and Orrico. He caught fire in the semifinals by knocking down 4 treys and scoring 19 points to propel them into the finals.

Jack Savare Forward (Jersey Force)- Savare can go inside or out and be effective. He plays well from the midrange area but can also step behind the arc. He also was known to make it to the charity stripe over the weekend.
