Dallas, TX (Future150) -- Saturday the Primetime Sports Tournament showcased some high level performances. Future150.com brings you all the action.
Shooters are common to find for basketball teams, but a 14 year old shooter standing 6'3" has the potential to be a scary player. Class of 2018 Dream Team forward Jordan Buck is one of those players that has great size and length. He can shoot from anywhere on the court. Buck is lethal when he shoots coming out of off-ball screens.
Buck's teammate, 2018 post Jackson Ennels, was a problem in the paint. Ennels' upper body strength and clears space when he uses his baseline dropstep. Developing a nice hookshot since the last time the staff saw him a month ago, Ennels continues to develop his all-around game.
Brice Vaughn (2018 guard) for Got Skills was feeling good Saturday as he was hitting jumpers from way deep. A soaring point guard that has a good pull up three point shot. Defenders...do not let him get his feet set. High volume shooter that was very impressive.
Dallas Tarheels had a point guard that was getting into the lane with ease and 2017 Lex Burns was that guy. His hesitation crossover was an issue for teams because he has the ability to finish with either hand. Defenders had to play him honest. Burns picked up his play the second game.
For the Dallas Celtics a terrific backcourt duo thrived. Class of 2017 guard Jalan Nichols and 2018 teammate Xavier Elam were tough to contain. Nichols is a quick guard that scores well in transition. He also finishes in the paint well with his tremendous strength. Elam is a knockdown shooter that can handle the ball some and create for others.
Davian Bowman (2018), Drake Cheatum (2018) and 2017 teammate Miles Russell formed the backcourt trio for the Peak Performance Pacers. Bowman came off the bench and was a bolt of offensive energy, scoring in bunches especially off the pick'n'roll.
Cheatum has the ability to break down his defender and create for others as he displayed an array of nice no-look passes on Saturday. Russell scores at a high level in a variety of ways. Cheatum is great with the pull-up jumper. He can also catch and shoot at the three point line or attack the basket with a soft floater
From the Class of 2018 comes the 6'6 post out of Mineral Wells, Texas...Troy Bradshaw.
Playing for the DFW Hawks, Bradshaw is a very skilled post threat. He has a big frame, but possesses excellent footwork on the block. Scores efficiently in the 10-15 foot range.
