Austin, TX (Future150) -- Future150 was back in the gym at the PrimeTime Sports Capital Classic in Austin, TX. There was a huge number of talented prospects that showed out over the Memorial Day Weekend, let's check out Sunday's top performers.
2018 CF Jayleon Ward (Houston Kings) - We were able to watch Jayleon Ward, a energetic scorer with size. He shot the ball from three well this weekend. Ward isn't your average big man, he was able to grab rebounds and dribble coast to coast for easy layups.
2020 F/C Jacolten Jones (Lufkin Live) - Jones played well Sunday evening during the championship game. He was a big time presence in the paint, and caused teams to take difficult shots. Big time potential as a major force in the middle heading forward.
2020 CG Christian Reggie (Lufkin Live) - A quick lefty who did whatever it took to keep his Lufkin Live team in the game. He used his elite handles to break down the defense and make flashy passes to his teammates for easy layups. Very productive play maker over the course of the weekend.
2020 F/C Natron Wortham (Lufkin Live) - Wortham had a huge role in the championship game Sunday evening. He blocked shots, made tough shots, and he motivated his team to stay focused down the stretch. We were impressed with his play this weekend.
2020 CG Darrius Whittingham (DJH5) - We were excited to check out Whittingham this weekend! He displayed his ability to score, pass, and guard. This 2020 prospect has a lot of potential, he showed us why he was one of the top guards in the tournament. Whittingham finishes well through contact, he has a strong frame which helps him get anywhere he wants on the floor.
2020 SG Latrell Jossell (DJH5) - Jossell displayed a lot of attributes to his game this weekend. He is virtually unguardable when he's in the open floor. Using his good length, Jossell can disrupt the passing lanes on defense, and he knows when to distribute and score the ball on offense.
2020 PF Justin Garrett (DJH5) - Garrett is half of the "twin towers" of the DJH5 team. He uses his explosiveness to finish well above the rim. Garrett can really cause havoc on defense with his ability to block shots and protect the paint. After the weekend was overall, Garrett proved that he was easily one of the best forwards of the tournament.
2020 F/C Kylil Anderson (DJH5) - The second half of the "twin towers" is Anderson. A long athletic forward who mixes the game up very well. He showed off in the paint on both ends of the floor by finishing over the top of the defense on offense, and protecting the rim quite well on defense. Plenty of potential for Anderson to be quite a dominant player depending on growth and development.
2020 G/F Kobe Hilburn (DJH5) - Hilburn was really impressive over the course of the weekend as he defended very well, and could really get to the basket on command. His intensity was through the roof, and he was a huge help in guiding his suqad to a championship.
2018 CF Jeremiah Hicks (Houston Kings) - Hicks is a long forward who can handle the ball and shoot it well. His potential is downright scary with his raw talent on both ends of the floor. Hicks loved to provide energy on defense with his crowd screaming blocks.
2018 PF Denel Davis (Houston Kings) - Davis had a good showing Sunday evening as he ran the floor well and defended with passion. He really stays locked into the game and what his roles are during his time on the floor. Overall he seems to be able to really help on defense with his length and strength.
2018 SG Calvin Williams (Houston Kings) - The Future150 Alumni really stood out with his stellar play this past weekend. Using his super quick handles, and sniper accuracy from deep ball range, Williams is an absolute headache for defenses to guard and deal with. His best basketball still seems to be ahead of him.
2018 CG LaDarius Anthony (Houston Kings) - Anthony is a versatile guard with nice size that can stroke the ball from three point territory. His on-ball and full-court defense can really make the opposing ball-handler work hard just to get it past halfcourt. Anthony is another one of the types of players that you just need on your team to succeed. As many people today say, "3&D type players," Anthony had that on full display this past weekend.
