In the spirit of promoting team play (it takes 5), they don't keep stats at this tournament. But here are some write ups on relevant prospects starring at the event.
Derrick Favors, 6-foot-9 (2009) WF (Atlanta Celtics): Favors really took over down the stretch in early morning game versus Pump N' Run in second half. Without a doubt he's one of the top five prospects in the Class of 2009. He flat out explodes off the floor to windmill dunk or pops a pull-up 15-footer. Look for him to be among the summer's best.
Chris Singleton, 6-foot-8 CF (Atlanta Celtics): Singleton was impressive once again. He reminds you physically of Patrick Patterson, but has skills to step outside and score with better than average jumper or fast improving ability to create drive. I'm having trouble finding twenty players who rate in front of him in the rising senior class. He moves into McDonald's discussion, that's for sure. He seems to be opening up his recruiting, as coaches from South Carolina, Wake Forest, Tennessee, Miami (Fla.), Kentucky, Cincinnati, and Georgia Tech were at his game.
Kenneth Kadji, 6-foot-10 C (Florida Rams): Kadji was on his game at the Fifth Third Bank Arena Friay. He outquicked big men around the hoop, knocked down the 10-12-footer, and made some monster blocks on defense. He will be a good one once he arrives in Gainesville and suits up for the Florida Gators.
Tony Mitchell, 6-foot-6 WF (Hoop Planet All-Stars): Mitchell was on his game when we watched in the morning. The recent Alabama commit was flying through the air, throwing down dunks, and sticking perimeter jumper for good measure. He continues to move up the rankings in our mind. Who knows where he'll end up by simmer's end.
Tyler Zeller, 7-foot-1 C (Indiana Elite): Zeller was on his game while we watched in the AM. He finished around the hoop, popped a couple of 15-footers and just flat-out outran opponents from end to end. He drew a crowd of head coaches with Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio State, Kansas, Kentucky, and Purdue among those in the crowd yesterday.
