Pittsburgh, PA (Future150) -- The first ever TTG Best of the Best Memorial Day Classic tipped off this past weekend, and a number of talented prospects placed themselves firmly on the national radar. With prospects that can help programs at all levels, college coaches should keep an eye out for the following players:
Yaw Obeng, 2020 SF, YAAACE: Obeng was one of the most versatile prospects in attendence. At 6-foot-4, he has decent size already and showed that he is a decent rebounder and defender. Obeng was at his best around the rim but showed the ability to put the ball on the floor and looks as though he will be a small forward moving forward.
David Morris, 2017 PG, TTG: One of his first weekends back with TTG, the point guard did a great job of both scoring and distributing. He is a blur in the open floor and does a good job of playing the passing lanes. Morris' ability to get to the rim makes him dangerous, and this under-the-radar lead guard will be very good at the low-major level.
Andrew Burcheit, 2017 CF, Clarion Rising Stars: One of the more relentless players in the tournament, Burcheit did a good job of rebounding and attacking the rim. At 6-foot-6 and stuck between positions, he will likely be best suited at the Division two level. That being said, he is a quality option for small schools.
Garrett Day, 2017 PG, Pittsburgh Nets: A heady point guard with good vision and deceptive athleticism, Day helped lead his team on a deep run through the tournament. He picked defenses apart with his ability to shoot the ball, as well as create for his teammates. Low-major programs would be wise to target him, as he boasts a 4.1 GPA as well.
Brandon Stone, 2018 PF, TTG: One of the more intriguing prospects in attendance, Stone stands at a legitimate 6-foot-10. The big man showed the ability to block shots, as well as face up and attack his man off the dribble. While he isn't the rebounder that one would think, his skill set gives him the potential to be a high-major prospect. He is certainly one to keep an eye on moving forward.
Sam Perini, 2018 PF, Boro Elite: Perini is a bit in the same boat as Stone, in the sense that he has a ton of potential. At 6-foot-9, he rebounds the ball at a high rate and showed a consistent jumper out to the three point line. Perini will need to improve his back to the basket game, but the big man has a lot of potential.
Tre Mitchell, 2019 CF, TTG: Mitchell has possibly the most upside of any prospect at the tournament this weekend. At 6-foot-7, he showed the ability to play either position. At just 15 years old, there is a ton of room for growth, as Mitchell has no idea how good he can become.
