Portsmouth Invitational Recap
And my top 5 Prospects

The following are players that impressed in the final day

Payton Willis finally got it going on the last day of the tournament. He had really been struggled offensively and defensively the first two games. Today he shot the ball better, making 5-9 from 3. He had better success attacking off the dribble. Willis was just more aggressive looking for his shot today.

Quenton Jackson once again made an impact on both ends of the floor. He is a super explosive athlete. Jackson had a ton of blocks and steals in the tournament. He was all over the place on defense. On offense he was relentless as a slasher and showed the ability to make the occasional 3 ball.

Terrell Brown Jr. continued to dominate off the dribble. No one could keep him out of the lane. He got to the rim whenever he wanted.

Garrison Brooks continued his stellar play. He was tough inside in the low post. He also continued to flash his mid range jumper.

While Savion Flagg struggled shooting the 3, goin 1-6, he made an impact getting 17 rebounds and scoring 20 points. Flagg is a tough and physical athlete. He can score inside and out.

Javante McCoy showed he belonged here. He hit countless p/up jumpers in the mid range. He also showed the ability to break down defenders off the dribble.

Ryan Hawkins shot the ball well today. He wasn’t shy and was looking for his shot at all times. Hawk shows the ability to knockdown the 3 in c/s situations, as well as score a little bit in the post against smaller defenders.

Keve Aluma is a p/pop nightmare for defenders. When you close out too aggressively he will go by you on the dribble.

Tyrese Martin stepped up big time for his team. He was the only consistent scoring option. Martin is a physical driver and can finish in the lane with traffic. He also has the ability to score from the mid range.

Michael Flowers had a solid game going 5-5 from 3 and scoring 23 points.

Alonzo Verge continued his aggressive, but under control play here at the PIT. He had 18 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.

Gaige Prim finally got some of his hook shots to go and finished with 20 and 10.

PIT MVP was Michael Devoe. He had 25 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Devoe is a smooth player. He can be the 2 man game b/h or play off the ball.
