Houston, TX (Future150) -- With the amount of talent we had at the 2014 Future150 Houston Camp this past weekend, we decided to create a Top 60 All-Star Game in order to give more prospects who deserved recognition a chance to stand out. The following are a few prospects who shined brightest in the game.
Xavier Ferrell, 2016 PG, Clear Creek (TX): The MVP of the Top 60 All-Star Game was the 6-foot-2 Clear Creek (TX) prospect. A high IQ player who is extremely skilled, he is not only a consistent outside shooter, but a capable slasher as well. Look for him to continue to improve with added strength.
Jordan London, 2016 PG, Woodlawn (LA): Using his size and strength, the 6-foot-2 Baton Rouge native had a very good weekend when attacking the rim. While his shot is streaky right now, once he develops consistency from the perimeter, he will be very hard to stop.
Marvin Powell Jr., 2016 SF, Victory Prep (TX): What impressed our staff most about the 6-foot-4 Victory Prep (TX) prospect was his length and athleticism. He loves to play above the rim and is also a high motor player as well. If he can develop his outside jump shot, he will be a very dangerous inside-out prospect.
Andrew Segovia, 2016 PG, New Caney (TX): The 5-foot-9 point guard continues to show improvement in his game. He has good open floor speed and is very good when attacking the basket. When his shot is falling, he is a very hard kid to stop on the floor.
Chase Twine, 2016 SG, St. Thomas (TX): The 6-foot-3 shooting guard is a high IQ prospect. He has good size, shoots it very well from the perimeter, and plays smart basketball at all times. As he adds upper-body strength, look for him to continue to make great strides in his game. High academic prospect too.
Venjie Wallis Jr., 2015 SG, Brother Martin (LA): Wallis is an aggressive wing that looks to attack and score the ball every opportunity he gets. He needs to work on getting stronger but has a chance to be a very good college player.
Gregory Bowie, 2017 CG, Johnson (TX): Bowie is a powerful lead guard who got to the rim at will and either finished through contact or kicked out to open teammates. The next step for him will be improving his jump-shot but he has a lot of potential.
Taiga Kagitomi, 2018 SF, Houston (TX): Kagitomi is a silky smooth, long and extremely fundamental. His length might be his greatest asset at this point in his development. He is a good athlete and has a text book jump shoot. As his basektball IQ increases so will his agression when attacking defenders. Gotta love a 6-foot-4 inch player who has tons of upside to his game.
Jaylin McMillan, 2015 PG, Klien Oak (TX): McMillan is an aggressive guard who looks to attack at all times. He got into the lane and either finished around defenders or kicked out to open teammates. He has good court vision and is able to put up points in a hurry as well.
Noah Vasquez, 2016 CF Pasadena (TX): Vasquez is one of those players every coach wants on his team. He is a team player, glue guy and performs at the same level everytime he steps on the floor. He showed good atleticism around the rim when getting offensive rebounds. The one thing that stood out this past weekend was his ability to guard multiple positions on the floor. He is a winner!
Tristan Edgarsen, 2015 SG, MCD #35 (LA):Edgerson is a long and active wing that can put the ball on the floor and attack the rim.He also showed a decent shooting stroke but needs to become more consistent beyond the arc. He must get stronger to be effective at the college level as well.
Daevion Paul, 2015 SG, Westside (TX): Paul is an aggressive wing that can really get to the tin and finish. He is a long and lanky athlete that will be one heck of a college player once he improves his jumper from deep.
Jour'dan Smith, 2015 PG, Morton Ranch: The 5-foot-10 guard was at his best when he was scoring the basketball at the camp. He is shifty and creates opportunities for himself using his quick first-step and good burst.
Keionte Cornelius, 2019 PG, Wells Middle School (TX): Playing against competition much older than him, the 5-foot-8 point guard proved he belonged with his playmaking ability and high basketball IQ on the floor. The Top 60 All-Star continues to impress our staff with his play and is surely one of Houston's most talented young guards right now.
