Although
smaller in numbers, the talent level of the 4th/5th grade
division the Buckeye Prep Elite
Showcase was very impressive. One of
the best young players in the gym was Juwan
Turner (4’9/PG/Columbus, 2024).
Turner ‘s game is mature and predicated on skill and an understanding of
the game. Turner already has a good feel
for the game and he’s good at either scoring or distributing the rock. From what we saw of Turner, his upside
potential is significant. We were also very
impressed with the play of Nino Nesbitt
(5’0/PG/Pickerington/2024), who has established himself as one of the top floor
generals in the state. Nesbitt’s skill
set and basketball IQ are beyond his years.
He handles the ball extremely well and can either get to the cup or hit
the 3-ball. As a reward for a big day, Nesbitt was selected to the all-star
game and went on to grab Top 5 honors.
We had not
seen much of him, but Nick Harris is
firmly on our radar now. Harris is a great rebounder, finishes well near the
bucket and is a solid defender. Harris not only logged in an impressive
performance during league play, he exploded for 16 points in the all-star game,
thus earning a Top 5 Award. Stevie Elam opened some eyes with his
dynamic play. Elam runs the floor well and proved to be a proficient shooter.
Elam also made the all-star game and was rewarded with a Top 5 Award. Michigan’s James Weaver was another standout and another all-star game
selectee and Top 5 Award winner. DeMarr
Foster (5’0/SG/2024/Lima) is another one to watch. Foster has a good all
around game, but he really showed the ability to create offense. Also playing well during the event were Je’Kel Cotton, Julian Bunton (KY), Cyanda
Grren (only the 2nd female in our history to attend the event), Sincere Horrison, Markus Jackson, Javen
Vaughn and Ethan Young. It should be noted that Vaughn went home
early as a result of an injury. Congrats
to all the young guns who represented at the event.
