Kenneth Atkins, 2017 SF, Atlanta Select Silver: Atkins did an admirable job defending a 6'5" wing in the 16u semis. He plants his body in the favored path and dares the attacker to challenge him. He can defend the shooting guard spot too.
Tyler Thornton, 2017 C, Atlanta Select Silver: The lefty pivot completely dominated the Atlanta Select Black frontline during the 16u semifinals. He swiveled to his left. Thornton ducked underneath and even tracked down offensive rebounds. Atlanta Select Black simply had no answers, with one dramatic block as the exception.
Patrick Hudson, 2017 PF, Atlanta Select Silver: Rebounds are king in the tight games. The 16u quarterfinal game was decided by Hudson's activity and post defense. Hudson brought his Select Silver squad eight extra shots, just by being enterprising and hoppy. In the semifinals, with his team on the ropes, Hudson rebounded a miss, brought the ball up court, crossed his man, and then casually nailed a 15'. Every skill needed to play basketball can be
TJ McMullen II, 2017 SG, Atlanta Select Black: Select Black needed every contribution from McMullen II to make their deep tournament run. McMullen II personally opened up a five point lead in the 16u semifinals with a magical step-back three pointer. The volume shooter will never be accused of lacking confidence.
Congratulations to the Mighty 16U SILVER and BLACK teams in the Future 150 Easter Classic.
You represented the Select Nation extremely well.
Just Go Select!!!
