A’Town Throwdown - Friday Blog
NERR scout Jared Exler was on hand at Cedar Beach Park in Allentown, PA for the A'Town Throwdown.
In case you missed any of the action, here is his Friday blog.
2023 Reading HS & @TeamFinalEYBL guard Ruben Rodriguez caught my eye last game set with his unselfishness. He used his burst to create half-court/transition opportunities for others while also finding teammates in tight windows using bounce passes. pic.twitter.com/XDtS3cAP9K

2023 @hattersbball & @TS_Hoops guard Noah Schlosser has shake in his handle to evade defenders, is comfortable scoring through contact at the rim, and has some pop in his legs to finish above the rim in transition/alter opponents’ shots defensively. #Throwdown22 pic.twitter.com/XJIpLnez6W

2023 Hempfield HS & @CentralPAElite wing Miguel Pena is an impressive pull-up shooter. Has compact form on his shot and stops and pops quickly from deep or in the mid-range. pic.twitter.com/eah4FmkUPn

2023 Hempfield HS big man Kamyn Lawrence uses his physicality well when boxing opponents out, has good fluidity as a cutter, and can find teammates for cutting layups with bounce passes. #Throwdown22 pic.twitter.com/QaqGMYsK87

2024 @HahsBoys forward Joey Marshall can space the floor from deep on standstill attempts, attack closeouts for soft mid-range pull-ups, and has solid instincts as a cutter. #Throwdown22 pic.twitter.com/HMjpGdHCA4

2024 Reading HS guard Yadiel Cruz stood out last game set with his end to end transition speed, IQ making good rotations defensively, and length altering opponents’ attempts around the basket. #Throwdown22 pic.twitter.com/cVhM2VAdDO

2024 @BoysParkland & @TeamFinalEYBL guard Nick Coval has sound shooting mechanics with deep range, is a terrific three-point shooter off the catch or when pulling up, and uses a quick through the legs move to create lane penetration. pic.twitter.com/IsUUDOkzq0

2023 @McDBoysBball & @TEAMPAHOOPS shooting guard Tristen Waters is difficult to keep out of the paint with his quick first step/crafty handle, knows how to draw contact around the rim, and has finishing touch with either hand. #Throwdown22 pic.twitter.com/ir3dSIplen

2024 @BoysParkland & @TeamFinalRed big man Zaire Smaltz caught my eye last game set with how well he played his role as a rim protector, rebounder, and drop-off layup finisher. pic.twitter.com/0YUNNZKHxu

Look forward to tracking Keith Jackson, a 2025 from @WmAllenBball. Long and lanky wing who looks to still be growing is a legitimate three-point threat off the catch/move. #Throwdown22 pic.twitter.com/5X5lpddiES

2023 @LMHBlazersbball & @LA_ELIT3 big man David Weaver has a projectable shooting stroke, nice footwork on the block, and knows how to use his wide frame on the defensive glass. pic.twitter.com/DdZxdqh3cl
