The post YOUNGER PLAYERS DOMINATING OLDER PLAYERS! Zion Harmon & Terrence Clarke Shows OUT at Nike Elite 100 appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.

.

The 2017 Pangos All-East Frosh/Soph Camp tour is now complete and the last stop on the tour in West Deptford, N.J., did not disappoint. The All-East camp usually has the most size in terms of height and plain physical dominance underneath. This was the case this year, as no less than 19 players chosen for the camp's top all-star game (Cream of the Crop Top 30) among 32 players were 6-foot-6 or taller.

One of those players, 6-foot-10 sophomore (2020) Elijah Hutchins-Everett, was named co-MVP of the game after helping the Black Team record a 88-87 victory over the White Team.  The talented big man netted a team-high 16 points and added five rebounds and two assists. Also having a big game for the winning black club was 6-foot-8 small forward Dynode Dominguez , a sophomore from New Hampton (N.H.). A long lefty with a frame reminiscent of former UNLV and NBA small forward Stacy Augmon, Dominguez had some pretty finishes in transition and finished with 14 points, three rebounds and two assists.

Although there was some heavy action underneath, as is the case with close all-star games, the perimeter players had a huge outcome in the game. It wasn't decided until 6-foot-9 2020 power forward Maximillian Amadasun of Our Savior Lutheran (Bronx, N.Y.) missed a free throw with his Black Team leading 88-87 and the White Team couldn't get off a clean look in the final 10 seconds. It seemed like that free throw was the only thing Asadasun (six points) did wrong all weekend, as he had an excellent showing blocking shots underneath and cleaning up loose balls with powerful put back finishes.

A conventional 3-point play on a driving layup with 1:42 remaining in the game by 6-foot 2020 guard Posh Alexander, Asadasum's high school teammate, gave the Black Team a 88-83 lead that seemed safe until the White team got back in the game afters one careless play by the opponent and some converted free throws. The White Team was trying to set up a good look for 6-foot sophomore guard Marcus Dockery, but he couldn't get off a clean look at the end.

Alexander, who was the most confident and physically dominant guard in attendance, shared camp Most Outstanding Player honors with Dockery, the camp's best overall shooter. Alexander had 15 points for his team in the Cream of the Crop Game, while Dockery netted a game-high 17 points and also had five rebounds. Alexander nailed two 3-pointers and had 10 of his 15 points in the second half. Dockery opened the game with two 3-pointers, but cooled off from the outside in the second half. He did hit one more 3-pointer and scored on a variety of driving moves to the hoop.

Although he didn't have a big statistical output in the all-star game, another forward who'd we put in the same breath as the previously mentioned players in terms of production and performance at this camp was 6-foot-7 sophomore Ismael Plet of Virginia Episcopal School (Lynchburg, Va.). For a player with his size and build, it was impressive to see him change direction with the ball and hit a couple of baseline crossovers. Combine his aggressive nature and strongman form with his ball skill and quite a prospect emerges.

Plet scored six points for the White Team. Another impressive player for that club was 6-foot-6 freshman (2021) Tayquan Woodley of Neumann-Goretti (Philadelphia). He scored on strong drives near the basket and displayed good athleticism and body control. Woodley finished with 11 points.

With all the big men taking up spots in the top all-stat game, we felt some of the best guards in attendance played in the Cream of the Crop Top 60 game. Most noticeable among that group was 5-foot-11 sophomore Hassan Perkins of Sanford (Hockessin, Del.) and 6-foot-1 freshman Ryan Meyers of Christ the King (Middle Village, N.Y.). Meyers was named game MVP for the White Team in its 87-85 victory.

The post TALENT GALORE At Pangos All-East! appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.

At the first three stops on the 2017 Pangos Frosh/Soph Camp tour, there were noticeable strengths of the campers at each particular stop. At the All-South Camp, the athleticism on the wings stood out while at the All-Midwest Camp, the skill and polish level of the power forwards and stretch fours was particularly impressive. After one day at the Pangos All-East, it's evident there is an abundance of talent...and it's across the board. Want a physically strong lead guard? There's one. Looking for a rugged shot-blocker? He's here. Want a bouncy wing whose best days are clearly ahead him? You'll find him. Want a knock down shooter? This camp has you covered.

If a novice was to walk in the gym, it's hard to imagine that person would miss the talents, confidence and swagger of 5-foot-11 2020 (sophomore) point guard Posh Alexander of Our Savior Lutheran (Bronx, N.Y.). He's confidence borders on cocky in a good way. The power point guard who has some Khalid El-Amin (UConn) and Cory Fisher (Villanova) in his game has blow by ability and can finish in the key from various angles. Like many New York City point guards, he can also thread the needle or whip the bullet pass at a moment's notice and seemingly when he has nowhere to go. Alexander was relentless in attacking the rim and many time was doing it on a straight line or a quality hesitation move. He's a MOP candidate after day one of the camp.

The biggest revelation in camp arguably is Maximillian Amadasun, a 6-foot-9 sophomore and Alexander's teammate at Our Savior Lutheran. Amadasun was aggressive every moment he was out on the court in a controlled manner. There isn't a better shot-blocker in camp in terms of timing and attempting to control the ball. Amadasun is also an excellent outlet passer and selfless in nature. The scouts on hand made a favorable comparison to former NBA defensive whiz Ben Wallace.

Like many of the frosh-soph camps over the years, it's difficult to find quality and consistent outside shooting and to a degree, it's expected. Shot selection and consistent shooting with good form and follow through, or being able to shoot off the dribble, is one of the last skills quality players develop. With that in mind, we did evaluate one excellent shooter in terms of form, consistency and confidence. His name is Marcus Dockery, a 6-foot sophomore at Roosevelt (Washington, D.C.). The lefty with the sweet-shooting touch had his stroke going early and he was pulling with confidence. According to Frank Burlison of BurlisonOnBasketball.com, he made 18 3-pointers in day one camp games.

In terms of overall skill level and playing the game the right way, 6-foot-5 freshman (2021) Alexis Reyes was hard to top. His starts and stops with the basketball were what you might see out of a NBA player or four-year college starter. He used that and changing speeds to get by defenders time and time again and finished with controlled layups or quality shots. Reyes has good size, can see the floor and has the burning desire to get better, which is the one quality you expect to see evidence of from every player in this type of camp setting.

"I came here to improve my guard skills," Reyes said. "I have been working on getting to the rim and developing my skills, because when I was younger I was just taller than everyone else so I didn't play guard. Developing and showing my guard skills, that's what I need to do to get better."
