The Playaz Basketball Club Spring Fling 16U Division also had its share of talented players and teams. Here is a breakdown of the few ballers that we felt handled their business this weekend.

 

 

   

    

 

Top Performers 16 and Under Division (Not Mentioned In Championship Story)

Jiovanny Fontan 59 Guard (Playaz)- Fontan played with tremendous confidence this weekend and look for his own shot more often then usual. He ran the point efficiently and showed true courage playing most of the weekend with an injured foot.

Ivy Fisher 56 Guard (Long Island Lightning)-Coreys little brother established his own identity this weekend by attacking defenses and scoring with high quality floaters. Hes very quick attacking the gaps and extremely athletic for his size.

Desmond Wade 59 Guard (NJ Shoreshots)-The Shoreshots had a successful opening night because of the guard play of Desmond. He was a relentless ball hound on defense and his change of direction on offense separates him from some peers.

Mike Burwell 64 Forward (NJ Shoreshots)-The more aggressive Burwell becomes the better prospect the Shoreshots will have. Standing 64 Burwell can pass or shot over most defenders and rebound the ball if necessary. If he attacks the basket more and starts to play over the rim his stock will improve immensely.

RJ Evans 61 Guard (Connecticut Young Gunz)-Chris Prescott has some company in Connecticuts 2008 Class with Evans. RJ put up big time scoring numbers in each Spring Fling game. His mid range jumper is soft and he can pull up at any point of his dribble penetration. Once he gets going buckets come in abundance.

Quintrell Thomas 67 Forward (Team NJ Elite)-Thomas is slowly becoming one of the best big men in the region. He gets up high on rebounds and has begun to put some offensive moves together. Right now hes very hungry for success and if he keeps this attitude look out.

Austin Johnson 66 Forward (Playaz)-Johnson has future wing player written all over him. It just depends on if he is willing the put the proper work in. Right now he is too quick for most post players and uses his long arms to get put backs.

Travon Woodall 511 Guard (Playaz)- The St. Anthony point guard wasnt hitting from the outside but was able to score in transition and played lock down defense the full 94 feet. It will only be a matter of time before he gets his shooting rhythm back.

Jordan Theodore 511 Guard (Gauchos)- Theodore played the true point guard role early in the tournament. He used his quick dribble and crossover to get past defenders and drive, draw and dish to teammates. When he is under control hes very potent.

Courtney Stanley 61 Guard (Reebok Raiders)- Stanley was able to get off a little during pool play but didnt get enough help from his teammates to advance. He is a strong guard and a jumper to match.
