Basketball Spotlight 6th Grade Top Performers Part 2 

CHIDI NWIGWE GUARD (CRUSADERS) - LONG ATHLETIC AND SUPER RANGY DEFENDER WHO USES WING SPAN TO LIVE IN THE PASSING LANES .... UNDERSTANDS BODY CONTROL AT SUCH AN EARLY AGE ... HE ALREADY SEEKS BODY CONTACT CAUSE HE KNOWS THAT HE’S PHYSICALLY SUPERIOR AND WANTS TO ABSORB THE SMALLER PLAYERS BUMP TO DRAW THE FOULS PLUS THE BASKET ... THIS KID PLAYS ALL 5 POSITIONS AND MADE THE BIGGEST SHOT OF THE WEEKEND SENDING HIS CRUSADER TEAM INTO OT AGAINST THE GAUCHOS WITH A BEYOND HALF COURT HEAV THAT SENT THE GYM INTO PANDEMONIUM (1 OR 1A FOR BEST PLAYER IN 6TH GRADE THIS WEEKEND).

JUDAH HIDALGO FORWARD (WE R 1)- ONE OF THE MOST VERSATILE PLAYERS IN HIS AGE GROUP - DOES IT ALL ON THE FLOOR .... THE SWISS ARMY KNIFE OF THE WER1 MACHINE THAT SEEMS TO CRANK OUT QUALITY PLAYERS LIKE THERE BUILDING THEM IN A GM PLANT OR SOMETHING ..... DOESN’T MATTER IF ITS THE HIGH POST OR THE BASELINE ..... RUNNING THE POINT OR DEFENDING THE OPPOSITIONS CENTER .... YOU ASK AND JUDAH DELIVERS.

KEVAIR KENNEDY GUARD (WE R 1)-I CAN SEE THIS KID PLAYING IN THE PLESTRA IN A COUPLE MORE YEARS AND KNOCKING DOWN A BIG SHOTS ..... GETS TO HIS SHOT WITH EASE WITH A HEADY DRIBBLE AND GREAT FLOOR SPACING .... WILL MAKE A TREMENDOUS LEAD SCORING GUARD THAT CAN PLAY BOTH GUARD POSITIONS WHEN CALLED FOR. 

JACOB MECHEM GUARD (WE R 1)- IN THE MODE OF MOST GUARDS OUT OF PHILLY THIS KID IS JUST TOUGH .... STRONG WITH THE BALL WITH AN ELITE B-BALL IQ ... UNDERSTANDS TIME AND POSSESSION AND WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN GAMES. 

ELIJAH AVERY GUARD (NY LIGHTNING)- HIS FAVORITE PLAYER MAYBE LEBRON JAMES BUT HIS ELITE SHOT FORM REMINDS ME OF A YOUNG DEVIN BOOKER ..... I KNOW ITS A LOT OF PRAISE .. BUT ITS RARE TO SEE A KID HIS AGE HAVE ZERO HEAD MOVEMENT ON HIS SHOT WITH HIS BODY PERFECTLY SQUARE TO THE BASKET WHEN HE GETS HIS FEET SET...... 

RICHIE ROSA GUARD (PLAYAZ)- YOU EVER SIT AND WATCH A GAME AND INSTANTLY YOUR DRAWN TO A PLAYER? AND YOUR LIKE “HES GOT IT?” ...... LISTEN WHEN I TELL YOU .... THIS KID JUST HAS THAT “IT FACTOR” .... STRONG WITH THE BALL .... PLAYS WITH A CONTROLLED FLARE BUT ALSO A HIGH SKILL LEVEL ... EXTREMELY COACHABLE AND CAN TAKE AND MAKE IN GAME ADJUSTMENTS ON THE FLY.
