Scored well from the 1,2,3 dribble bounce creation. Ran the point and looked solid against pressure. True combo guard that slashed and hit mid range pull ups and finished well in transition. The best mid range “O” of the tournament.

Johnathon Lloyd, PG (5-foot-9)

2010, Bishop Gorman High, NV.

Las Vegas Prospects

Was a complete problem for the 2011 Jordan Daniels(Pump Elite) during their match up. Absolutely affected the game from all aspects of the floor. Excellent playmaker, excellent defender and great in transition. Oregon Commit-

High Major

Henry Buckley, C (6-foot-10)

2010, Impact basketball academy, Las Vegas

Las Vegas Prospects

Played the weak side defense well this tournament while altering or blocking shots. Buckley is an UNLV commit-

Mid-HIgh Major

Karam Moshour, G (6-foot-5)

2011, Impact academy, Las Vegas

Las Vegas Prospects

Unquie type of player. Lanky Euro player who plays athletic and shoots the ball. Has not yet put it all together. Foot work and finishing in transition are his grey areas. Good frame and should be a handful if he continues to develop.

Roscoe Allen, G/F (6-foot-8)

2012, Bishop Gorman High, NV.

Double Pump 2012 Elite

*Allen who is a legit 6′8 and still growing put the finishing touches in the 16 championship game with a 20+ point performance..

High Major

Dantley Walker, (5-foot-9)

2011, Lincoln County High, NV.

Las Vegas Prospects

Very good shooter and scores with a variety of unorthodox moves. Excellent competitor who just lacks height at the combo position. Is not a true playmaker but is a quality scorer from the perimeter.

Jahmel Taylor, PG (5-foot-11)

2013, Norte Dame High, CA.

Pump N Run Freshmen

Very impressed with this point guards ability to penetrate & use his body for consistent or better angles from the dribble & finish. Displayed explosive quickness complimented by an excellent handle & solid vision. Solid 2013 watcher for schools.

Mid-High Major

Reggie Theus, Wing (6-foot-6)

2013, Fairfax High, CA.

Theus is extremely skilled without passionate intensity. Athletic with a good handle and excellent size. Upside is through the roof for Theus.

High Major

Nicholas Reese, F (6-foot-5)

2013, Westchester, CA.

Pump N Run Freshmen

Multi positional player that does it all. This kid could blossom and has all the little tangibles to do so if his work ethic is in place.

Antwon Johnson, PG (6-foot-0)

2013, Norte Dame High, CA.

Pump N Run Freshmen

Teammates of Jahmel Taylor who also plays the point as well. Johnson finished well in transition and displayed a good handle.

Devon Pflueger, F (6-foot-6)

2013, Junipero Serra High, CA.

Pump N Run Freshmen

A rebounder with a mid range jumper. What sets this forward apart from the rest of his peers is his Vertical. He is explosive to the 10th power! At this point Pflueger is an undersized 4. Excellent prospect that should develop into a high major with more refined skill development.

Gelaun Wheelwright, PG (6-foot-0)

2011, Corona Centennial, Corona, CA.

California Supreme Red

Starting point guard for elite aau team California Supreme. Solid floor leader that doesn’t flash you but plays consistent. Good 3pt. shooter from behind the arch. Plays on and off ball defense well. Wheelwright is a leader.

Katin Reinhardt, G (six-foot-5)

2012, Mater Dei, Orange County, CA.

Good shooter with solid mechanics. Good height for a shooting guard that likes to handles the ball. Reinhardt’s jump shot & size sets him apart from his peers right now.

Mid-High

Ryan Anderson, F (6-foot-8)

2011, Long Beach Poly, Long Beach, CA.

California Supreme Red

One of the most intriguing talents at the tournament. Anderson is every bit of 6′8 with a perimeter jump shot thats consistent. Good rebounder on both ends. Mismatch problem as he can go inside out.

Has the skill set to dominate a game and is a definite July watcher for all programs.

Mid-High

Bryon Wesley, Wing (6-foot-5)

2011, Etiwanda High, Etiwanda, CA.

California Supreme Red

Stalky guard/ wing that slashes well to the basket. Rebounds well for his size and defensively gives his opponents problems. Didn’t see too much offense from Wesley but will continue to watch throughout the summer.

Kevin Johnson, C (6-foot-10)

2011, Taft, CA.

California Supreme Red AAU.

An agile big men that loves to throw his weight in the interior. Had a great tournament and played his way higher on my west coast list. Rebounder, space eater and posses the ability to finish inside. Still needs to work on his athleticism and explosiveness.

High Major

Raschon Prince, F (6-foot-6)

Camron Forte, Wing, (6-foot-5)

2011, McClintock High, AZ.

Arizona Dream Vision AAU.

Big time lefty, plays in spurts but has big time- big time talent with bounce. At 6′5 Forte can create his own shot from the bounce. Upside is capped by a lack of focus. If this opens up Forte could be a High Major-

Amir Garret, G (6-foot-6)

2011 Leuzinger High, CA.

Double Pump Elite #1AAU.

Extremely athletic, plays above the rim in transition. Jump shot has improved and has an explosive 1st step. Needs to tighten up his “O” but has a lot of upside due to his length and freakish athleticism.

High Major

Jordan Daniel, PG (5-foot-10)

2011, Etiwanda High, CA.

Pump N Run Elite AAU.

Very explosive handle with a lightning quick release. Gets a clean look with separation anytime he wants. One of the better penetrating points in the tournament with excellent vision. With added strength he could play his way up to a high major.

Mid Major

2012, Horizon Christian, Oregon

Pump N Run Elite AAU.

Tebbutt is built like a body builder. Very athletic wing with great size. Balance needs much improvement but posses a nice 3pt stroke with the ability to knock down the one bounce dribble. Strong rebounder and is an Adidas super sophomore.

High Major

Shabazz Muhammad, Wing (6-foot-5)

2012, Bishop Gorman, NV.

Dream Vision Nevada AAU.

Had several 30 point plus games and was an unstoppable inside/ out force for Dream Vision. Displayed his ability to hit the jump shot from the catch and the bounce. Was not afraid to show off his 40 inch vertical on a post facial dunk click here. True gamer that belongs in the conversation as the top player in the 2012 class.

High Major

Winston Shepard, Wing (6-foot-8)

2012, Findlay Prep, NV.

Dream Vision Nevada AAU.

Shepard had a solid tournament displaying his mid range game and his floor vision. Runs the floor like a deer and rebounds the ball out of the box. A true 6′8 that players bigger and longer than his frame. True versatile forward that if he adopts to being a student of the game he will be special.

High Major

Evan Roquemore, PG (6-foot-3)

Unsigned, Las Vegas, NV.

Playing the Point for the loaded Dream Vision squad and looks like a good fit. Shot the ball well, as he ran off three threes in a row in the second game. Penetrated, and showed his ability to defend. Very athletic versatile perimeter player that can hit the mid range.
