National Prep Showcase - Saturday Blog

Xavier commit & @BrewsterHoops wing Reid Ducharme showcased his three-point shooting ability last game set. He drained four triples on a blend of off the catch/move attempts while also using his strong body well taking bumps near the rim. Scored 18 points. pic.twitter.com/31uJfO9Lgl

2023 guard Russell Branch was a bright spot for @FUMAPGbball last game set. He separates from defenders with his burst, finds teammates for drop-off finishing opportunities, and draws contact well on layups. pic.twitter.com/bPJBqPYY44

Liked what I saw from 2023 @HargravePGBB & @UPLAYCanada guard Kailon Nicholls last game set. He can hit treys on pull-ups/side-steps, find teammates with crafty passes in the half-court, while also having quick feet/hands defensively. @KN5basketball pic.twitter.com/zOa8hqYa84

Intrigued by 2023 @SocalAcad forward Carlin Davison. The New Zealand native has a high motor on the glass, consistently makes contact setting screens, and shows flashes of hitting standstill three-pointers. pic.twitter.com/nSEsKHswPG

— Jared Exler (@JExlerNERRHoops) November 19, 2022

2023 @BridgtonHoops SG Miles Klapper caught my eye last game set. He is a pull-up/spot-up threat from long-range, makes good decisions as a passer when attacking closeouts, while also having intellect to regularly be in the right spots defensively. pic.twitter.com/dmrTQX7GUv

— Jared Exler (@JExlerNERRHoops) November 19, 2022

2024 @MMAPGBasketball SG Troy McKoy Jr poured in 26 points on an efficient 9-17 from the field last game set. He can hit treys off the dribble with minimal space and enforce his physicality driving to the basket for layups through contact. pic.twitter.com/bxA6gH7zio

— Jared Exler (@JExlerNERRHoops) November 19, 2022

2023 @StThomasMoreBB forward Louie Semona impressed in a victory making three standstill treys, showing soft mid-range touch, and flashes of passing instinct in the half-court. pic.twitter.com/r0Mk1AH6dM

— Jared Exler (@JExlerNERRHoops) November 19, 2022

Alabama commit & @PSAhoops forward Mouhamed Dioubate was impressive during a narrow win with his footwork scoring near the rim, creation ability in one on one situations, and strength/motor rebounding at both ends. Had a double-double, going for 14 points and 12 rebounds. pic.twitter.com/ugGWXZyKnc

— Jared Exler (@JExlerNERRHoops) November 19, 2022

2024 wing Dominic Stewart hit the game winning trey last game set. He brings good positional size, has comfort hitting treys off the catch/dribble, while also rebounding well with his knack for being around the ball when it comes off the rim. Finished with 23 points & 11 boards. pic.twitter.com/YbK3uxiJj9

— Jared Exler (@JExlerNERRHoops) November 20, 2022

Akron commit & @CushingBBball forward Marvin Musiime-Kamali was a standout tonight. He showcased explosiveness for momentum changing dunks, length/lateral quickness defending on the ball, and mid-range/free throw line shooting touch. pic.twitter.com/Z0y9TBvMBD

— Jared Exler (@JExlerNERRHoops) November 20, 2022

Like the Isaac Bonilla signing for Maine. The @BCABoysVBB SG is a heady long-range sniper who lets the game come to him. Has the ability to hit three-pointers off the catch, move, or when pulling up. Drilled seven triples on his way to scoring 23 points in a win. pic.twitter.com/Vaqof8HhHS

— Jared Exler (@JExlerNERRHoops) November 20, 2022

I’ve watched @BrewsterHoops for a long time and this is the most connected I’ve seen them this early in the year. https://t.co/SwW8LA4iyE

Some super impressive moments from Tyler Betsey today. Still so young & early in his development, but appears to be taking another step since his breakout summer. https://t.co/hFQCOIBheD

Keyshaun Tillery has been as good as any lead guard at #NPS thus far. The 2025 @NHSHuskies floor general has kept the ball moving and made a number of nice passes. He was a standout for @cityrocksEYBL in the #Lea8ue last season @madehoops

— Brian Flinn (@BflinnMADE) November 19, 2022

Seth Joba is back at it this afternoon. Knocking down shots from deep and scoring at the rim #NPS @madehoops

— Brian Flinn (@BflinnMADE) November 19, 2022

2024 wing Tyler Betsey has always been a shooter from beyond the arc. He’s shown an improved ability to attack off the dribble and good touch in the midrange #NPS @madehoops

— Brian Flinn (@BflinnMADE) November 19, 2022

Really like the developments Takai Hardy has made in his game. The @Buff_Athletics 2023 F has gotten it done on both ends this afternoon. He could be another of the #NPS breakout guys of the weekend @madehoops

— Brian Flinn (@BflinnMADE) November 19, 2022

Blake Barkley (Northwestern) with a game saving block at the buzzer. @PSAhoops 64-61 over a very tough @Buff_Athletics group in what the as arguably the game of the weekend thus far at #NPS @madehoops

— Brian Flinn (@BflinnMADE) November 19, 2022

Dominic Stewart. Buy stock now @MtZionPrep #NPS @madehoops

— Brian Flinn (@BflinnMADE) November 19, 2022

This was one of the most vicious in game dunks I’ve seen in a long long time. #nps @madehoops https://t.co/mqW9nc4y3N

— Brian Flinn (@BflinnMADE) November 20, 2022

Aaron Davis is approaching NBA Jam territory, just ripped off three straight threes in about 90 seconds. Big framed wing who has a quick release and gets hot in a hurry #NPS @madehoops
