Baby Baller Profile: Aaron Feath (United NJ)


Name: Aaron Feath 

Team: United NJ 

Position: Point Guard 

Class: 2028 

Breakdown: This key has serious poise and feel for the game at a young age. He knew how to play the pick and roll game while also scoring the rock from all three levels. His team relied on him a lot to carry the scoring load and he obliged. Make sure you get a chance to check out Aaron very soon at a gym near you.

Monday, June 7, 2021

In The Spotlight: Jackson Powell (Team New England)

Name: Jackson Powell 

Position: Forward 

Team: Team New England 

Class: 2025 

Analysis: Powell is a long forward that had a motor. He brought the energy and effort on every play on both ends of the floor. He did most of his work around the basket and when fouled he could knock down his free throws. He finished with 12 points in the game we saw.

In The Spotlight: Kiaan Kirkwood (MSU Skyliners Elite)

Name: Kiaan Kirkwood 

Position: Guard 

Team: MSU Skyliners Elite 

Class: 2025 

Analysis: Kiian was the team’s leading scorer in the game we watched. He was always in attack mode trying to get buckets. He could knock down the 3-point shot or score at the rim. He also could convert from the free throw line. Defensively he was able to get some steals and convert them into instant offense on the other end of the floor. He finished with 14 points in the game we watched.

In The Spotlight: Myles Parker (MSU Skyliners Elite)

Name: Myles Parker 

Position: Guard 

Team: MSU Skyliners Elite 

Class: 2025 

Analysis: Parker is a big lefty point guard that handles most of the lead guard duties for his squad. You can tell he has a high IQ, and he makes the right play while navigating the defense. He knows when to push the ball or slow it down based on the situation in the game. He has range out to the 3-point line. He had 10 markers in the game we watched.

TRAVIS UPCHURCH AND AJ DYBANTSA

Travis Upchurch and AJ Dybantsa both earned Mr. Memorial Day status over the weekend. In the finals alone Upchurch ran the show and Dybasta dropped a team high in scoring.
