Maurice Commander CHICAGO SUMMER JAM
Maurice Commander 2018 PG Curie/Young & Reckless Some might say Commander is a shooting guard trapped in a point guards body, but man does this kid have a burner so it’s easy to see why thats what most say. He can score from all three levels but has an absolutely deadly jumper with deep range. The…
Kevin “Boopie” Miller NIKE SUMMER SHOWDOWN
Kevin “Boopie” Miller 2021 PG Morgan Park/Mac Irvin Fire The diminutive “Boopie” Miller appears to be the next in line of a long line of great PG’s at Morgan Park. Despite being one of the smallest players on the court, if not the smallest, Miller knows how to score. He used an array of floaters…
Marquise Walker NIKE SUMMER SHOWDOWN
Marquise Walker 2019 PG Curie/Mac Irvin Fire Walker is a high level, pure point but today his team needed every bit of scoring he could muster. His 16u squad was short handed and ultimately lost the game but to no fault of Walkers’. The stocky and strong guard attacked the rim relentlessly with his quick…
Khailieo Terry NIKE SUMMER SHOWDOWN
Khailieo Terry 2021 F Champaign Central/Hoop Avenues It’s very early but Khailieo Terry made his case as one of the top 2021 prospects in the state with his performance today. The roughly 6’5 forward was completely dominate. Has the physical frame of a prospect much older but also has good coordination and hops for his…
Jaylin Gibson NIKE SUMMER SHOWDOWN
Jaylin Gibson 2021 G Evanston/Hoop Avenues This was our first time viewing Gibson and we left impressed. The 6’3 guard already has a solid, strong frame and is likely to grow more. Attacked the hoop relentlessly. Rebounded very well. Very good feel for the game as well as good court vision for such a young…
DJ Steward NIKE SUMMER SHOWDOWN
DJ Steward 2020 SG Fenwick/Meanstreets If Miller is #1 in 2020 then Steward is a close 2nd. The slippery combo guard impresses you first with his length. That length suggests he still has quite a bit of growing to do. Disrupts passing lanes at a high rate and turns over ball handlers. Gets to the…
Tyler Beard NIKE SUMMER SHOWDOWN
Tyler Beard 2020 PG Whitney Young/Meanstreets Beard is an electric athlete that maximizes his athleticism on the court. The 6’2 lead guard was the recipient on multiple alley-oops that he easily flushed. Quick strong guard that plays best when running in the open court. Solid ball skills and shows the ability to run an offense.…
Adam Miller NIKE SUMMER SHOWDOWN
Adam Miller 2020 PG Manual/Mac Irvin Fire Adam Miller had one of the most dominating offensive performances of the weekend in a 26 point showing vs. Made Men. The dynamic ballhandler was playing up an age group and still couldn’t be stopped as he attacked the rim. But he scored the majority of his points this…
Tamell Pearson NIKE SUMMER SHOWDOWN
Tamell Pearson ’18 PF Morgan Park/Mac Irvin Fire Dosunmu’s partner-in-crime both at school and on the circuit is Tamell Pearson. The 6’10 PF is a rapidly emerging post who runs the floor very well and finishes through contact. Good athlete that uses that athleticism and is length to control the boards and protect the paint.…
Ayo Dosunmu NIKE SUMMER CHALLENGE
Ayo Dosunmu ’18 PG Morgan Park/Mac Irvin Fire The #1 prospect in the class of 2018 in Illinois as well as the #1 prospect in attendance at the Nike Summer Showdown, Ayo Dosunmu did not disappoint. With a plethora of high major coaches watching, Dosunmu went to work. Dunked and shot his way to 31…
Cam Irvin NIKE SUMMER SHOWDOWN
Cam Irvin 2017 SG Morgan Park/Mac Irvin Fire Irvin is a shooter through-and-through. The unsigned graduated senior is playing this July in hopes that his shooting prowess can draw attention from some new schools. Irvin can pull up from well beyond NBA-range but is better off the catch. In-your-face defender who doesn’t give up an inch.…
Eric Price NIKE SUMMER SHOWDOWN
Eric Price 2021 SG Galesburg/Quad City Elite Price is a thick and strong wing out of Galesburg. He doesn’t pass the look test, but he is a gamer. The lefty has some sneaky athleticism that he showcased with a chase down block on the break. Has a little bit of range but scored mainly off…
