Scouting Report!

​Individual
10U - JonJay - Taj Medley (Class of 2027)
Brings great energy every game which grants him a ton of offensive and defensive rebounds. Goes up strong. As he continues to develop he will blossom into something special seeing that he plays with something you can't teach; Energy & effort!

10U - South Jersey Premier - Lucas Debiaso
Kid is a true point guard that can score. His head is always up, he’s a good no-look passer for his age. He’s also a solid defender.

11U - 215 Swag - Benito Scott (Class of 2026)
Patient guard with good speed and court vision. Understands pace. Doesn’t remain at the top of the key once the ball leaves his hands which is something young guards tend to struggle with.

11U - Elizabeth Wolfpack - Raheem Clark (Class of 2026)
Clark plays both sides of the ball really well for his age. He’s an unselfish guard that can score. His presence changes a lot of games. Let's the game come to him with a smooth handle. 

11U - Kings Unlimited - Jayden Hollingshead (Class of 2026)
Uses the floater well. Knows how to get into the teeth of the defense to create for his teammates. Very good slasher and on ball defender. I would love to see Jayden take less threes and attack more. He's a beast off the dribble.

13U - Hamilton Nighthawks - Joe Lemly (Class of 2024)
Extended coach on the floor. Streaky shooter. Would love to see him improve his shooting off the dribble which would elevate his game.

13U - JonJay - Derrick Stevens (Class of 2024)
The left-handed guard is not to be left open. He made defenses plays all weekend. Would love to see him be more aggressive with the rock and take over the games earlier to show his dominance. 

13U - SJ Premier - Elijah Brown (Class of 2024)
Brown’s inside game didn’t go unnoticed as he racked up more than half of his points there all weekend. He has a soft touch at the free-throw, but with a mid-range jump shot his inside game would be so much easier. He also uses his length to block a ton of shots.

14U - S.M.M - Dylan Shepherd (Class of 2023)
High School - Tower Hill High School (DE)
Height - 5’10
Weight - 150lbs
Shepherd plays with so much confidence and energy like any baller should. The way he attacks the rim no one’s going to get in his way once his athleticism comes through.

14U - S.M.M - Dean Shepherd (Class of 2023)
High School - Tower Hill High School (DE)
Height - 5’8
Weight - 125lbs
Shepherd’s knowledge for time and score is really going to help him at the HS level. He can really shoot the ball and he gets out in the open floor for easy lay-ups.

14U - Life in Christ - Brandon Bermudez (Class of 2023)
High School - Pennsgroove High School (NJ)
Height - 5’4
Weight - 123lbs
Knock down 3pt shooter! Corner sniper, but needs improvement on ball handling & decision making.

15U - JonJay - Jaylen Shippen-Timms (Class of 2022)
High School - Lower Merion High School 
Height - 5’10
Weight - 130lbs
Team player that doesn’t care who scores. You draw up the play and he understands the team needs to score and not necessarily him. He wears number 3, and the game actually resembles CP3! Watch out for Jaylen Shippen-Timms leading the charge at Kobe Bryant's alma mater, Lower Merion HS.

15U - Bottom Ballers - Jacob Beccles (Class of 2022)
Height - 6’1
Weight - 160lbs
Beccles is one of those athletic kids where if he’s up before you it’s best that you don’t jump. He used his handle to dazzle his way around whenever he wanted to. With an outside shot and a tighter handle package he’ll be really tough to defend.

16U - Bottom Ballers - Nymir Porter (Class of 2021)
High School - Eastern Academy Charter School 
Height - 6’0
Weight - 190lbs
Porter showed off his shooting range all weekend. Hand up or down he will pull the the trigger. He also finished strong in traffic all weekend long.

17U - South Jersey Starz - Madison Brestle (Class of 2020)
High School - Atlantic City High School (NJ)
Height - 5’0
Weight - 115lbs
Brestle’s hustle on both ends of the floor earned her team a championship. She was the driving force when the game came down to the wire.

Dynamic Duos
13U - Hamilton Nighthawks - Darien Carthan & Jacob Dormevil (Class of 2024)
Carthan was up top on defense causing havoc and Dormevil was in the back line protecting the rim. Poetry in motion on the defensive end. Making opposing guard turn the ball over & burn timeouts. Carthan is lead guard that understands the importance of moving the ball. Should improve his speed. Dormevil is the ruler of the boards. If he starts running the floor he’ll take his game to another level. Every disciplined on defense. 

15U - South Jersey Premier - Isaiah Glenn & Anthony Colin (Class of 2022)
High School - Egg Harbor Township High School (NJ)
Height - Isaiah - 5’10, Anthony - 6'2
Weight - Isaiah - 145lbs, Anthony - 175lbs
Glenn is just one of those kids with pure talent. He sees the game so well and doesn’t try to do nothing he can’t do. Colin used his strength and size to bully through defenders for easy finishes all day Saturday. With a decent handle and a soft touch jump shot he’ll see his game take off. Both very athletic that uses it to their advantage against slower, less athletic opponents.
