Suwanee, GA (Future150) -- Jason Pratt and Corbin Osby contributed to this report.
Sunday is championship day and all the teams that particpated in the PrimeTime Sports Southeast Championship were looking to push towards greatness. Bracket play began and numerous stars took command.
Here are the top performers from Sunday:
Wiz Vaughan- 2018 PG, Wilmington Waves: A very competitive guard that knows how to be effective on both ends of the floor. Vaughan is a knockdown shooter and knows how to score off the dribble. He plays great on-ball defense as well.
Dylan Holmes- 2016 SG, Devil Nation 17u: Holmes opened Sunday morning with the tournament's best shooting performance. In a double overtime thriller Holmes buried five triples. He doesn't have exceptional speed, so his future will revolve around the catch-and-shoot skills. Look for Holmes to fight every single minute he is on the floor.
JT Mumber- 2017 PF, NWGA Select: Mumber was one of the more polished post players we saw. He showed how to use his size and post game on the low block which is something you just don't see a lot these days. He has a baby hook with either hand and loves getting offensive rebounds. His range stretches to the 3-point line but his consistency is in the 10-14 ft. range. At 6-foot-7 inches and 220 pounds, his game has definitely improved since we saw him last fall.
Quamontae Monfort- 2018 PF, GA Jazz: Monfort is a Elite 24 Camp alum and has worked on his game a ton since we saw him last fall. His mid-range jumper was the best we saw all weekend from the PF position. At 6-foot-6 inches, his length allows him to protect the lane and block shots at will. As his athleticism increases so too will his overall game which is definitely on the upward movement. Look for him to break into the national rankings next update.
Eric Coleman- 2019 SG, GA Elite Ballers: Coleman was one of the better athletes we saw in the 8th grade division. His ability to jump over his defenders when scoring made it almost impossible to stop. He can score on all 3-levels and excels getting offensive rebounds which creates 2nd and 3rd opportunities for his team. At 6-foot-3 inches he has the size to play the SG position but he most develop his outside shot more to stay there.
BJ Walker- 2017 SG, Arkansas Spartan Elite: Walker is coming off the Future150 Summit Camp appearance where he played well. On Sunday, he backed up that performance with a big time shooting display from the 3-point line keeping his team in the game as they fought their way to winning the championship. He has long arms, good athleticism and knows how to find his spots for the 3 ball. His game reminds us of former NBA Pro Reggie Miller of the Pacers.
Reyhan Cobb- 2017 SF, Atlanta Select Red: Cobb is an example of a guard that never stopped growing. At 6'7" he has ideal height for a college wing. The only thing that could possibly stop him is a lack of toughness. At times Cobb is too timid and when he avoids contact he limits his ceiling. Cobb has a pure jumper that makes his game appealing. He makes most shots between 10 and 15 feet.
Raekwon Rogers- 2017 PF, Arkansas Spartans Elite: Rogers was elated with his defense Sunday afternoon. He became a one-man cheering section after a monstrous block. Rogers did not let up all game. He destroys on the low blocks with his 205-pound body. The lefty has a nice, little baseline jumper in the tool box too.
Sherrod Sidberry- 2019 SF, Wilmington Waves: Sidberry is a two-sport star. The Waves really benefitted from Sidberry's presence this weekend. He rebounds very well and defends the base of their 2-3 zone. Sidberry projects as a forward, but time will tell which forward position.
Joshua Aldrich- 2018 SG, Wilmington Waves: Every jump shot Aldrich takes looks pure. Sure he misses from time to time, but every release is identical. With added confidence he will blossom into a high volume scorer. His father coaches the AAU team for which Aldrich routinely scores. Look for him to make a splash in North Carolina this winter.
Ramello Williams- 2018 SF, Wilmington Waves: All weekend long Williams hammered the glass. He can score from ten feet and in. The entire team can play, but Williams adds another dimension. His slashing ability and rebounding hunger make him a nuisance to the opposition.
Malique Jacobs- 2018 SG, Wilmington Waves: Jacobs played big when it mattered most. In the 15u Championship contest, Jacobs registered 11 points by the halftime horn. His Waves needed nothing else, as they coasted to an easy victory. Jacobs plays spirited defense and rebounds well for his position. When needed he will hit the outside shot.
Kamron Brasfield- 2017 PG, Arkansas Spartans Elite: Brasfield plays tough on the ball. He is more comfortable leading the break than finishing it off. His passing skills are impressive. He loves setting up the wings and for this reason players love playing with him.
Tyler Thornton- 2017 PF, Atlanta Select Silver: The strengths of Thornton are obvious. An elegant 6-foot-7 combo forward with remarkable touch, Thornton hammers the glass in search of rebounds. He was also a dominant player in the spring at Future150 Atlanta Main Event. He also earned Top 40 honors at The Summit Camp 2014. To reach the next level Thornton needs to add more consistency on his jumper. He really looks like a college small forward. A lot of his game looks like a developing Michael Beasley, in that he rebounds tenaciously and shoots well from outside the paint.
Darius Hall- 2016 C, Devil Nation 17u: With a game that reminds of Zach Randolph, Hall thrives under the tin. The 205-pound lefty knows how to use his heft. He scored 15 points in a tough win against Georgia Stars (Columbus). In addition to dominating the low blocks, Hall can also knock down the occasional outside shot. He projects as a combo forward. College basketball, at some level, is a possibility for Hall.
Tre'vione Sudberry- 2016 PG, Columbus GA Stars: Sudberry plays a tough style of ball and has a great change of pace. It allows him to control the pace of the game.
Ahmere Albert- 2016 PG, Devil Nation 17u: A very aggressive PG, Albert competes on both ends of the floor. He plays with unending energy. He helped his team get back into a BIG game with his quickness and speed by utilizing ball screen situations. Albert is great attacking the rim to draw the defense in. The speedster plays like Jonny Flynn (Syracuse).
Daniel Melvin- 2017 SF, Columbus GA Stars: Melvin is a forward who plays bigger than what he is. He doesn't mind doing all the dirty work, which makes him stick out. Melvin has a nice face-up game that opens up a lot of different driving and passing lanes.
