Elite 80 Expo Profile: Travis Procida

Name: Travis Procida

Position: Point Guard

HT: 5’11

Hometown: Paramus, NJ

AAU Team: Pocono Trailblazers

Strengths: Travis runs the point efficiently and sees the floor like many coaches want. He delivers the ball at the right places for teammates and can score the rock if needed. He also knows how to use his body and shield defenders that try to steal or stripe the ball.

Areas of Improvement: On the next level Travis can be a good player but he will have to increase his foot speed on both ends of the floor. Offensively he will need to get the rock up the floor quicker and improve his athleticism. Defensively increased speed will help him guard smaller quicker guards and disrupt opponent’s offensive plans.
