Player Spotlight

Stephon Castle is an oversized point guard with extreme upside. At 6’6, he can usually play over the top of his defender as a playmaker and as a scorer. The future UConn Husky has great vision to find his teammates for alley-oops, kick outs for threes, and dump offs for easy buckets under the rim. He is a precision passer, and he has a crafty handle to lure help defenders away from their assignment and out of position. Stephon also possesses a strong three ball that opens the floor for him to attack closeouts without having elite speed. He plays at his pace, and he can change speeds with the best of them. He has shown the ability to post up smaller guards and operate as a post-facilitator in the half court.

Marquavious Brown, a future Georgia State Panther, is a two-way star who affects all aspects of the game. He is a fluid athlete, and his athleticism is present in each part of his game. His agility is evident in his shifty handle and on-ball defensive pressure. His bounce is showcased in his ability to finish oops and completely erase jump shots and layups. He has the pure speed to run past backpedaling defenders in transition. And he has the footwork and core strength to be an elite mid-range scorer. Marquavious has a great basketball feel and instincts as well. He is a playmaker and shows leadership qualities in times of adversity on the court.
