Hoop Group Mid-Atlantic Jam Fest - Saturday Blog
NERR scout Jared Exler was on hand over the weekend at Spooky Nook Sports in Manheim, PA for the Hoop Group Mid-Atlantic Jam Fest.
In case you missed any of the action, here is a rundown from him on some of Saturday's standouts.
2024 @GlobalSquadBB & @SpringdalePrep guard Elwyne Wordlaw caught my eye last game set. He is a tenacious on ball defender with his lateral quickness/physicality. Also has impressive vision as a half-court/transition passer. pic.twitter.com/4ZOCl4vcIz

Available 2022 @bweliteaau & @TepFamBball big man Chad Anglin uses his explosiveness to finish well from the dunker spot or corral difficult rebounds. Also is fluid running the floor in transition and impacts the game as a weak-side rim protector. pic.twitter.com/5prqKJn5ll

2023 @bweliteaau & @BurrsBasketball wing Marcus Branker regularly gets to the basket with his good burst/strong body. He also has a creative layup package and is comfortable playing through contact which allows him to finish well around the rim. pic.twitter.com/qB0u50kASG

2023 @TTO17uNational & Riverdale Baptist guard Marcus Banks uses start and stop moves to regularly get into the paint, can score over bigger defenders with a soft floater, and makes good decisions as a half-court playmaker when opponents collapse on him. pic.twitter.com/n5LioPAe65

Johnny McCain, a 2023 from @rensunited & @cburyboysbball is a sharpshooting guard with a quick release. Excels at hitting three-pointers off the catch while also being able to attack closeouts for mid-range pull-ups. pic.twitter.com/u0cl5p93IV

2023 @rensunited & @LC_BoysBBALL big man Justas Bardauskas stood out last game set as he was all over the offensive glass, moved well without the ball, and showed some upside as a passer out of the post. pic.twitter.com/ehOSueiEkp

2023 @yorkballers & @hillcrest_prep guard Julian Gabbidon uses the nice wiggle in his handle to consistently get lane penetration, finishes well at the rim with a soft touch off the glass, and can find teammates zipping bounce passes in tight windows. pic.twitter.com/b1RWKLxAx7
