Tahj Shamsid-Deen- Pos: PG | Ht: 5’8” | Wt: 155 lbs.
(Decatur, GA) High School: Columbia | AAU: Southern Stampede
Tahj proved the hype to behind his name to be true. He is a coach on the floor that can run a team and the ability to score when necessary. He has a mean mid-range shot that extends out to the three point line with ease. Shamsid-Deen plays very good defense and is a blur in transition.

Class 2014
Nate Mason- Pos: PG | Ht: 5’10” | Wt: 155 lbs.
(Atlanta, GA) High School: Columbia| AAU: Southern Stampede
Mason is a super electric guard who can score in bunches. His specialty was the 3-point shoot where he made 3 straight shots in the semi-final game. He likes to put a tremendous amount of pressure on the defense in transition after his opponent has missed a shot.
Class 2017
Kendrick Summerour- Pos: PG | Ht: 5’8” | Wt: 145 lbs.

James Lewis- Pos: SG | Ht: 5’8” | Wt: 140 lbs
(Atlanta, GA) Middle School: Flat Rock | AAU: ATL Rockafellas
Lewis is a tremendous shooter who likes to attack the rim. He was undeniably the team leader and the son of the team coach. He has a good understanding of the game and plays it the right way. He led his team to the 13U championship.
Victor Enoh: Pos: C | Ht: 6’7” | Wt: 195 lbs.
(Decatur, GA) High School: Green Forest Academy | AAU: ATL Rockafellas
Enoh is super long and has a great body to be only 13 years old. He is like a man among boys out there. He blocked just about every shot in the lane area and is an excellent rebounder on both ends of the floor. If he develops on the pace he is currently going, Enoh is a high major prospect.
Wendell Carter Jr.- Pos: PF | Ht: 6’5” | Wt: 185 lbs.
(Atlanta, GA) High School: Fulton Leadership Academy | AAU: ATL Rockafellas
Carter was probably the most consistent player we saw all weekend long in the 13U age division. He lives on the offensive glass and scoring on put backs. He has a nice baseline move and can finish with contact at the rim. A developing jump shot is going to put this prospect on an elite level.
