Diary Of A Baller: Ja"Quaye James (Englewood, NJ) Entry #8

WHO BUT ME 

Yo wassup it's your boy Mr. Jellyfam signing on. 

Oh man this week was a week of lessons to be learned. I got a lot of schooling this week about politics that go along with being a basketball player I guess "whatever" I just gotta keep working and play my position. It will work out for me. 

Getting past all the craziness going on during this week on weather I was gonna play with the 9th grade team or 8th grade team, regardless I had to get ready to play in our tournament that the PLAYAZ host; The Spring Fling. We ended up playing up and went 2-1 and lost to the team that took the chip. So we had an ok weekend I would say. I had a lot of fun just being in the gym with my bros. from Playazfam. Watching them turn up on some new competition. We been going at each other all week in practice, so I think we all needed to see some new faces. I would say the tournament was great. 

We all got to see where we are against other AAU programs and what to expect from this upcoming season. This week is my last week of school before our lil spring break, so I am planning ahead getting my week lined up. Can't wait, always good to have some time off from school. LOL much needed!!! With that being said I am out. Atlantic City Showcase this weekend. Turn up time. 

Men lie women lie numbers don't 

 Ja'Quaye James aka Jellyfam Guwop 

PS: New York City Players ain't never fell off, you'll better respect my city.

AC Showcase 8th Grade Preview: The Moment Of Truth Has Arrived!

Team IZOD Ready For AC!

The Basketball Spotlight 8th Grade Division is something serious. It features some of the top teams in the country and should be something to watch. Here’s a look at who is coming down to Atlantic City for this showdown. 

Atlantic City Showcase 8th Grade Preview 

Team IZOD: The Supreme Team enters the AC Showcase with several titles under their belt including the Clash For The Cup and Maryland Invitational. Now they must step up to the plate against the big dogs G3IE and WACG. You already know the stacked roster that this team sports. Now we will see if they can continue their winning ways. Keep an eye Nazi Reid, Atiba Taylor, Jahvon Quinerly and Luther Muhammad.

We All Can Go All Stars: Yes WACG is headed east with revenge on their mind. Team IZOD ended their national title dreams with a final four defeat now they are looking for the big payback. Their roster is loaded with national talent and we know they will be ready to explode. They feature Marvin Bagley, L'Christian Smithj, TJ Moss, Mark Freeman, Camron Johnson, Gavin Schoenwald and Darius Garland.

G3IE: Attention this team plays defense like no other in the country. I can’t wait to see them lock horns with Team IZOD, WACG and the Playaz. I know that they don’t play any games when they step on the floor. They are very old schooled. Look for Kevin Easley, Antwaan Cushingberry and K.J Coleman.

Playaz: PBC will be an exciting team to watch and with the addition of Markquis Nowell there’s no telling how far they can go. We anticipate them to go up and down all weekend and leave everything on the floor. Ja’Quaye James has been scoring the ball a lot lately.

Hoop Heaven Elite: This squad formerly SHA Elite brings a calculated style full of deep bombs and backdoor cuts. They won the Clash For The Cup Orange Division crown and have a chance to win another one in AC. They are the team you hate to see in your pool when the schedule comes out.

We R 1: The Delaware boys have took home a couple of championships and big man Jamal Whittlesey has been balling. I like their chances in the Orange Division of this event especially if Chris Cropper and Darius Kinnel come to play. 

Mass Shooting Stars: I like the way this team has been looking the last few times I saw them. Paul Durkee continues to shine and DeVandre Edmonds has found his stride. We look for them to make a deep run in the Orange Division.

Team DEMI: Yes Team DEMI returns with the top backcourt in New England in Shandon Brown and Maurice Works. The cousins give defenses fits and have DEMI in a position to win most games. 

New Heights: I haven’t seen this bunch this year but New Heights is known for bringing a good product to the floor. Coach Of The Year winner Rahme Anderson supposed to be back the controls and all he wants to do is win.

Gym Rats: The Syracuse boys are another team many don’t want to see. Their backcourt of Mike Adams and Charles Pride are one of the best in the region and capable of opening up against any team in this event. 

CMEK Bulls: The Bulls had some good moments during their last showing at the Spotlight Clash for the Cup. I hope they can carry their momentum to Atlantic City because the competition down there is very thick.

Boston Spartans: The return of Dominic Jones has the team looking for the winners circle. The have the other pieces to go around the talented wing guard to get the job done. The last time they were in the AC Showcase Kahari Buford broke the Spotlight record scoring 51 points. 

Team Twelve: This team brings the energy on both ends and have a dynamic duo of Theodore Senior and La’Vauhn Miller. They are still in search of their first Spotlight championship and they do have a chance in the Orange Division. 

We All In: Yes Wall 2 Wall and ESYC has combined to form this new squad. Both teams had some good pieces last year so this should be interesting to watch. We will feel you in after watching them rock.

AC Showcase 7th Grade Preview: The Title Is Up For Grabs!

Team Takeover Ready For More Titles

The 7th Grade Division at the AC Showcase will feature some of the top teams in the region. This field is deep and talented. Here’s a breakdown of the top teams and players headed down to America’s Playground. 

AC Showcase 7th Grade Preview 

Team Takeover: TT won the DMV Takeover and should be ready to continue their hot streak down in AC. Justin Moore, Terrence Williams and Anthony Harris form a great trio while Tyler Brelsford runs the show. They have to be considered one of the favorites for this division.

DC Premier: This 7th Grade bunch recently won the Potomac Valley regional championship and a few others. The Mitchell Twins ( Makhel and Makhi) cause problems for most teams they face. They have a great shot of winning it all.

Gauchos: The Choz won the Tip Off Classic Blue Division crown but now they are in their with the big boys. Jullien Crittendon and KC Ndefo are the pair to look out for. Don’t sleep on this crew but they might crash the party. 

Team Final: Fahmir Ali and Khyree Temple have Team Final knocking off opponents and taking home chips. They really have to be considered as the most improved team in the region. The AC Showcase can only add to their achievements.

We All Can Go All Stars: Tyger Campbell is considered the best point guard in America for this class. Now he enters the world of Basketball Spotlight and let’s see if he can lead these boys to the crown. The Spotlight pressure can be a different animal at times.

Metro Flyers: I’ve been waiting for Metro Flyers to pop off and this could be their weekend. Dajuan Piper, Danny Rodriquez and Barry Evans Jr. are one of the best trios in the region. Now it’s time for them to put some championships behind their name.

Team Nelson: The reigning Grand Finale champs are still searching for their first Spotlight championship of the season. Mark Bradshaw and Kasim Tolliver control the backcourt but the player to watch might be Donte Scott. This kid looks better every time he steps on the floor. 

Expressions Elite: The X missed out on the Clash now they are hungry for some Spotlight action. Deveon Ford and Dyondre Dominguez make it hard for anyone to knock this team off. Dominguez is a budding star on the horizon. 

Hilltoppers Heat: The Heat have been on a winning streak lately and performed well at the AGame Super Shootout. Now it’s on to the heavyweights. Hopefully they can bang out with the best. 

New Heights: I’m curious to see this team in action. I heard they added some pieces and I want to see how they gel.

AC Showcase 6th Grade Preview: Only The Strong Will Survive!

G3IE Heads To AC Showcase 

The 6th Grade Division of the AC Showcase is the most stacked top to bottom. We are champions from everywhere and they are set to do battle. Check out who will be making the trip to America’s Playground. 

AC Showcase 6th Grade Preview 

George Hill All Stars: The #3 team in the country needs no introduction as they head to the AC Showcase. Hunter Jackson, Michael Saunders and Brevin Jefferson helps make this team a heavy favorite. This is their Spotlight debut but they seem more than ready.

Team IZOD: The Class of the Garden State is coming off a Clash for the Cup Championship and will be looking to add more. Their quartet of Niels Lane, Zion Bethea, Shane Dezonie and flashy guard Richie Greaves will give opponents fits. Can Jersey finest bring it home?

Team Takeover (Black): The DMV Takeover champs come down to the AC Showcase hungry after losing their regional championship. Their trio of Justin Lykes, Ishmael Leggett and Canin Reynolds are capable of carrying them. The heat is on! Can they handle the pressure?

Team Glory: TG will be looking to crash the party. They will use their trapping style and up tempo offense to get the job done. Their trio of Darius Miles, Zion Harmon and Dimingus Stephens are certified tough.

Team Nation: Fresh off a good appearance at the NYBL these youngsters got something to prove. Trey Patterson is one of the best in America and he has help in Nashawn Holmes and QaaDir Maneri. This could be their national coming out party.

Gauchos: The Pride of the Bronx has a Tip Off Classic Championship under their belt and want some more. They are loaded with DJ Bailey, RJ Davis, DeMarco Watson, CJ Robinson and Malachi Smith. Look for the Choz to attack the competition.

We All Can Go All Stars: This well known squad is here to prove they are among the best in the country. Marcus Bagley comes in as one of the best players in the nation with a sweet stroke. Many teams will be looking to knock them off.

RIP City: The boys from Pennsylvania always brings the energy. Rahdir Hicks has shown for years that he is one of the best guards in the region. Hopefully his teammates will be ready to help him conquer this serious field. 

Boston Titans: The Titans wanted to be a part of this field in the worse way and now they got their wish. They will dive deep into the water with the sharks. 

Team Scan: TS will be in the building with the big boys. They made a good impression at the Tip Off Classic so we are curious to see if they handle the heavyweights. 

Team Takeover Orange: Malcolm Dread and Darius Johnson form a good backcourt and made their name known in the past Basketball Spotlight tournaments. They came close to winning the title and maybe their luck with cash in during the AC Showcase. 

Hilltoppers Heat: HH made a good run during the Tip Off Classic but this competition is a little stiffer. They will get tested early and often at this event.

AC Showcase 5th Grade Preview: It's About To Go Down!

WACG 5th Grade Has National Rep!

The 5th Grade Division will feature some of the top ballers in the country. I can’t wait to see what happens when the smoke clears in this one. Here’s a look at the teams headed down to Atlantic City. 

AC Showcase 5th Grade Preview 

We All Can Go All Stars: The national ranked duo Jaden Springer and Kennedy Chandler leads the WACG into battle. They have traveled the country whipping out all opponents and collecting titles. Now they are ready to make their Spotlight debut which could lead to a potential showdown with East Coast heavy weight Team Glory. 

Team Glory: Speaking of TG they are fresh off of the Potomac Valley title and the Basketball Spotlight DMV Takeover championship. Now they will be chasing another Spotlight banner on their way to the Grand Finale. Look for Zion Harmon and company to make a deep run in this event. 

Playtime Panthers: The Panthers should ready to go in AC. Right now they have to be the top 5th Grade bunch in the Garden State. Now it’s time for them to represent. 

Chester Select: Ballers from Chester always bring their game. So I know this situation should not be any different. They will be deep in the trenches with this treacherous field. 

ESYC Elite 610ers: The Allentown area boys got in at the right time if they want some action. In this age group only the strong will survive so hopefully they can swim. Good luck fellas. 

Team Philly: TP making their Spotlight debut this year and are faced with a rugged field. Hopefully they will be ready to rep the City Of Brotherly Love. 

Expressions: We got the boys from Boston in the building and they will be ready to show us what they have. Most teams from the X organization bring the noise. 

Also Look Out For: Team Nation, We R 1 and House Of Sports

Team Glory 5th Grade 

Harmon Versus Springer! Who's Really #1? Find Out At AC Showcase!

The top 2 5th Graders in the country will likely to battle at the AC Showcase. Zion Harmon (Team Glory) and Jaden Springer (WAGC) are regarded as the #1 and #2 players in the Class of 2021. In the Atlantic City Showcase they are likely to meet and settle this debate once and for all. Stay tuned as we bring you more top players and teams that will be balling in America’s Playground.

AC Showcase 4th Grade Preview: The Baby Ballers Are Ready To Go!

Can "LIL Dug" Help Glory Raise The Trophy In AC? 

The Basketball Spotlight 4th Grade Division gives a look into the future and promises to have some serious battles. Here’s a look at the top baby baller teams headed down to AC. 

AC Showcase 4th Grade Preview 

Team Glory: Fresh off their Potomac Valley Championship these boys come in as definitely one of the favorites. Their guard play is tremendous including the nations #1 floor general Knasir “Lil Doug” McDaniels. I know they will be ready for some work. 

Riverside Hawks: We haven’t seen the Hawks since they won the Tip Off Classic and now they will be trying to add some hardware at the AC Showcase. They will be bringing that New York fire to this event and we can’t wait. 

We All Can Go All Stars: Better believe that this squad is bringing the noise from Tennessee. We expect some full court pressure combined with some running and gunning. Let’s get at it. 

Gauchos: This bracket has to include the Choz. The Bronx Club is searching for their first Spotlight championship of the season. The water at this tournament is filled with sharks so hopefully they can make it to the other side. 

MJ Heat: The coach of the Heat says this team is one of the best in the region. We haven’t seen them this season but this event will really put them to the test. 

Playtime Panthers: The Green and Black are known to bring the noise. This program has been a mainstay on the NJ young basketball scene for years. 

CMEK: These young guys are relatively new on the scene but feel they are ready for the big bump. They got what they want because this field is loaded. 

Also Look Out For: Expressions, Rens, Team Future and House Of Sports.

We All Can Go All Stars Looking To Cash In At AC Showcase!

WACG Headed To The AC Showcase 

The AC Showcase reached another level with the addition of the well-known We All Can Go All Stars.

This is their first trip to America’s Playground and they are looking to bring some fireworks.

Diary Of A Baller: Ja'Quaye James (Englewood, NJ) Entry #7

"Im A Prospect!"

Wassup this Ja'Quaye James and I'm signing on. 

Took care of business as usual this week. Spent a lot of time in school catching up on some work and finishing up on some future projects, early. With AAU starting I know my weekends are gonna be booked up. I got to spend some time with my little sister even though she's annoying sometimes, but she is only 5 and I do love her. The whole week I was just in the gym getting better...usually that's the only thing on my mind, but with the 8eye classic game approaching I could not stop thinking about it. 

I don't usually talk I just play, but the trash talking started early, even before game day. I had people saying you gonna get killed young boy you trash. I did not let that bother me at all, I just laughed. On game day I showed everybody what the hype was all about. First half was regular for me, because I was just trying to get everybody involved, so that was ok. Then a man in the crowd said turn it up I read your dairies every week, I want to see you play not these other cats, so that's what I did. I kicked it up for the man, for this cool kid who said he came to watch me play, my man #8eye JB and myself. I got MVP and my man Cha-Ching violated the mic. 

I put on for my city once again. Two weeks from now I will put on in AC Showcase....Turn-up time...can't wait...this JellyFam and I'm sighing off. 

PS: Stay tuned, my man 8eye, my man Cha-Ching and I are about to put something together real nice in the future. Looking forward to that collaboration in weeks to come. 

Men lie women lie numbers don't. It's sad when you have to prove yourself to the same people that you have been proving yourself to all year. "WHATEVER" Small thing to a Giant!!! Playazfam

G3IE Headed To The AC Showcase With Something To Prove!

G3IE Headed The AC Showcase

George Hill All Stars recently merged with Indiana Elite and they are ready to hit the road. G3IE features several nationally ranked players including Kevin Easley, Antwaan Cushingberry and K.J Coleman. Here next stop will be the AC Showcase where they feel they have a score to settle with the “Supreme Team”. During the 7th Grade AAU Nationals in Memphis Team IZOD narrowly defeated George Hill All Stars in the Sweet 16 before advancing to the championship. Coach Michael Saunders feels the AC Showcase will be a great experience for his program. “The reason I felt it was important to come to Atlantic City was to support Basketball Spotlight and prove we can compete with some of the top teams on the East Coast. My 8th Grade team wants another shot at IZOD while my 6th Graders want to play Team Takeover and Team Glory. We look forward to this experience” he finished. 

The Atlantic City Showcase is loaded this year and should be nothing short of spectacular. Stay tuned as we bring your more of the top teams heeded down to America’s Playground. The AC Showcase takes place April 19th and 20th so don’t miss it.

AC Showcase Flashback: Lets Get It On!

The AC Showcase is entering its 6th year and we’ve had some serious talent of the years. Two years ago some serious ballers headed down to America’s Playground and put on a show. Let’s have a flashback featuring some of the top players in the country. Stay tuned as we bring you more memories from the best show on the planet.

Nobal Has Game For Days!

Nobal Days (Butler Elite)

Nobal Days is a 6’7 seventh grader who does it all for his team Butler Elite. It’s easy to say that Nobal is better than other players because he’s tall, but that is a very short sighted view. Nobal is a great passer in the post, can handle the ball very well for a big man, routinely blocks shots, and runs the floor like a deer. 

Recently Nobal has ran into some road blocks as he is being penalized for dunking in games, but that won’t be enough to hold the big man down. So far this season the Butler Elite 2019 team has a 32-3 record and Nobal is gaining praise from grassroots enthusiasts across the nation. 

It’s refreshing to see a young big man who isn’t afraid to bang inside and passes the ball so well. While many big guys want to step outside and launch threes, you can find Nobal Days pulling down rebounds and firing outlet passes to open teammates. 

With the combination of size, skill, and positive attitude that Nobal Days possesses it’s hard to imagine him being anything besides a star in the near future.

Diary Of A Baller: Ja'Quaye James (Englewood, NJ) Entry #6

The Grind

Aye world wassup, 

This Ja'Quaye James aka Guwop and I'm signing on. This week was what my pops and I would call "Old School" it was a slow grind it out week. Not a lot of actual game time work, but all blood, sweat and tears on the hardwood. I worked out every single day this week, and on Wednesday I got two in, and I loved every minute of it. Getting better is a MUST and it's something I look forward to doing day in and day out. Also, thanks to everyone that takes the time out to help me get better and work on my game. It means a lot to me. Between working out and working on my game and practicing with the older kids, I didn't really have a lot of chill time, but that's cool. It will be worth it, at least for me!!! 

Potomac Valley AAU 4th & 5th Grades Regional Championship Recap: Team Glory Doubles Up!

Team Glory Snatches Both Title

5th Grade Recap

Team Glory’s class of 2021 has been on a roll lately defeating the National Champs once again this weekend in their District Qualifier led by the Number 1 fifth grader in the country Zion “The Lion” Harmon. Team Glory open things up early with a 16-2 lead in the first half. Zion Harmon put on a performance with clutch 3’s and powerful drives to the basket at will. No one could stop. Noah Charles hit clutch 3 after 3 to keep the big lead throughout the game. Zion Harmon even threw Erik Reynolds an outstanding alley-oop layup putting on a show while sealing the win 33-19. Team Glory’s Class of 2021 wants its title back and I think they are proving that each weekend they bring home the gold.

4th Grade Recap

Knasir "LIl Dug" McDaniel (Team Glory)

Team Glory’s Class of 2022 was finally able to get over that hump of beating MD Finest in their Regional District Qualifier this weekend led by the number one 4th grade PG in the country “Lil Doug” McDaniel. Team Glory went down in the first quarter 26-12 to go on a 15-1 run and tie the game up at half time with clutch shooting and stellar performances from Jay Johnson and Farrell Crowell. Team Glory held down the 3rd quarter without their number 1 player Lil Doug who sat the entire 3rd quarter with 3 fouls. Lil Doug came in the 4th quarter with the will to win hitting clutch shots to keep them in the game. Glory was down by 4 with 39 seconds left when Lil Doug hit a clutch 3 to bring it within 1. Grabbing the rebound off the 1 and 1 miss Lil Doug was able to go the length of the court in 9 seconds to hit the game winning layup and seal the win. We haven’t seen a kid who can run the length of the floor like this with the ball since Ty Lawson. He’s coming into his own this year and really becoming a clutch player. Look out for this kid…he’s gunning for another National Championship but this time he wants to lead the way!

Coming Soon: The Legend Of Lloyd "Sweet Pea" Daniels (The Film)

Lloyd "Sweet Pea" Daniels 

Lloyd Daniels’s unlikely rise to the NBA is the stuff that myths are made of: the most sought-after college basketball recruit of his generation, he got busted buying crack cocaine in a police sting operation, and two years later was almost killed after getting shot three times in the chest while negotiating an $8 crack deal. Yet, in spite of this, he somehow managed to make it to the NBA-- without having played a single college game, with remnants of bullets still in his body, and with years of crack addiction behind him. 

This film delivers a complex portrait not only of a rare talent and his against-the-odds triumph, but also of the unique street culture that made Lloyd Daniels a “playground legend” in New York City. Along with interviews, archival footage, and current verité, we will use animated sequences to recreate that mythic talent that the young Swee’ Pea displayed in the playgrounds, to reenact the anecdotes about him narrated to us by interviewees, to express not only his charisma and charm, but also the darker side of Swee’ Pea, the unrepentant lone wolf, a hustler who, in the words of a friend, is “a rogue…he walks the face of this earth endlessly.” 

Moving from the concrete to the dream and back to the concrete, we will depict a story that is completely human but also fairytale-like in its utter unlikelihood, and thereby implicitly unsettle the question that was raised about Lloyd Daniels throughout his career: is he legend or myth?

NYBL Showdown: Jordan Mitchell Versus Scottie "The Show" Lewis

Scottie Lewis and Jordan Mitchell went head to head at the NYBL in Washington, DC. Two of the top players in the Class of 2019 Basketball Rankings met up on the first day of the NYBL and they didn't disappoint as both players put up big numbers. All Ohio ended up winning the game 58-49 behind Mitchell's 21 point, 5 steal, 3 rebound performance. Scottie Lewis stuffed the stat sheet with 12 points, 7 blocks, 11 rebounds, and 4 steals. Keep an eye on both of these young prospects.

NYBL Clash: Harmon Versus Toles!

The NYBL session was filled with head to head battles and one featured was Zion “The Lion” Harmon (Team Glory) versus Jordan Toles (Banneker Kings). Both players put up heavy numbers while Zion’s team pulled out the victory. Stay tuned as Basketball Spotlight and Middle Hoops bring you more recaps from this weekend.

NYBL 7th Grade Best Of The Best & Top 15 Player Performance Rankings

Rowan Barrett Was The Top Prospect 

The 7th Grade NYBL is loaded with top players. Here’s the 7th Grade Best Of The Best and Top 15 Player Performance Rankings. 

NYBL 7th Grade Best Of The Best 

Best Prospect: Rowan Barrett (Brampton Warriors) 
Barrett made a splash and seems to be following the line of recent Canadian young stars. We expect his name to ring bells for years to come. 

Best Performer: Jordan Mitchell (All Ohio Red) 
Mitchell did damage this weekend as All Ohio Red went 5-0. His game has a lot more substance than it does flash. 

Best Floor General: Diablo Stewart (Lexington Hustle) 
The point guard from the Blue Grass State gave me a show when I watched him operate. He surveyed the floor like a surgeon and did anything he wanted. 

Best Passer:  Jeremiah Francis (All Ohio Red) 
Francis enjoys dropping dimes to his cutting teammates. He also will add some mustard to his passes in the fashion of the no-look. 

Best Shooter: Chris Harris (Texas Express) 
Harris jump shot was wet from the perimeter and his range was out of this world. He can either stroke off the dribble or after catching the rock behind the 3 point line. 

Best Defender: Nobal Days (Butler Elite) 
Days was a shot blocking machine during the weekend. When he wasn’t blocking shots be was altering them which helped his team start the fast break. 

Best Playmaker: Scottie Lewis (Team RIO National) 
Lewis made plays on both ends of the floor including block shots and steals. On the offensive end he showed his above the rim prowess and rebounding ability. 

NYBL 7th Grade Top 15 Performance Rankings 
1. Jordan Mitchell (All Ohio Red) 
2. Rowan Barrett (Brampton Warriors) 
3. Scottie Lewis (Team RIO National) 
4. Nobal Days (Butler Elite) 
5. Michael Christmas (Academy Prep) 
6. Juwan Gary (SC Hornets) 
7. Diablo Stewart (Lexington Hustle) 
8. Chris Harris (Texas Express) 
9. Ahmadu Sarnor (Team Rio National) 
10. Jeremiah Francis (All Ohio Red) 
11. BJ Mack (Team United) 
12. Chris Hinton (Reach Higher Kings) 
13. Mikeal Jones (Team Rio National) 
14. Sydney Curry (George Hill All Stars) 
15. Bryan Antoine (Team RIO National)

NYBL 6th Grade Best Of The Best & Top 10 Player Performance Rankings

Jason Harris Was The Best Prospect In This Division!

The 6th Grade Division of the NYBL was a treat to watch and very competitive. Here are the Best of the Best of the 2020 Class and the Top 10 Player Performance Rankings. 

NYBL 6th Grade Best Of The Best 

Best Prospect:  Jason Harris (West Coast All Stars) 
Harris will definitely be one to watch down the road. He should reach about 6’8 and be a top notch recruit. Remember this name! 

Best Performer: Shemar Morrow (Oakland Soldiers) 
Morrow 53 point outburst combined with his stellar play throughout the weekend got him the nod in this category. This kid is a scoring machine. 

Best Floor General: Jordan McPhatter (CBC Elite) 
McPhatter can give it to you by scoring or running the club. He was one of the pleasant surprises I saw down in Maryland. 

Best Passer:  Tyrone Washington (West Coast All Stars) 
I like the way this kid sees the floor. He had two scoring machines in Jason Harris and Paris Dawson and made sure they were happy. He delivered the rock on time. 

Best Shooter Trey Patterson (Team National) 
Patterson showed he had good range and accuracy. His size let him get his shot off over most defenders. 

Best Defender Kendell Munson (Oakland Soldiers) 
The post player for the California team is tough on the blocks in terms of playing defense and rebounding. 

NYBL 6th Grade Top 10 Performance Rankings 
1. Shemar Morrow (Oakland Soldiers) 
2. Jason Harris (West Coast All Stars) 
3. Kyree Walker (Oakland Soldiers) 
4. Zion Harmon (Team Glory) 
5. Trey Patterson (Team Nation) 
6. Jordan Toles (Banneker Kings) 
7. Paris Dawson (West Coast All Stars) 
8. Josiah Hardy (Leesburg Basketball Club) 
9. Hobby Ross (Carolina Kings) 
10. Mike Sumners (DC Premier)
