Words. Aron Phillips
Before guys make it to the Tournament of Champions, they have to pay their dues. And this Saturday, August 22 at Goat Park (99th & Amsterdam), you’ll get to see the next group of Metro area legends in the making in the high school showcase game. Check out the roster:
Angel Nunez (Winchendon)
Ashton Pankey (St. Anthony)
Corey Edwards (Christ the King)
Devon Collier (St. Anthony)
Doron Lamb (Oak Hill Academy)
Fuquan Edwin (Paterson Catholic)
Isaiah Epps (Hargrave Military Academy)
Javaughn Pinkston (Bishop Loughlin)
Kyle Anderson (Paterson Catholic)
Kyrie Irving (St. Patrick)
Maurice Harkless (Forrest Hills)
Mike Taylor (Boys & Girls)
Myck Kabongo (St. Benedict Prep)
Myles Davis (St. Peter’s Prep)
Myles Mack (Paterson Catholic)
Shane Southwell (Rice)
Shaquille Stokes (Lincoln)
Shaquille Thomas (Formerly of Mountain State Academy)
Sidiki Johnson (St. Raymond’s)
Sterling Gibbs (Seton Hall Prep)
The guys I’m most excited to watch are Lamb, Pinkston, Irving and Kabongo, as guards are always exciting to watch on the asphalt and Pinkston is just a beast. Lamb could have a breakout year at Oak Hill now that Lamont “Mo Mo” Jones is gone, while Irving/Kabongo could be two of the best guards in New Jersey.
wasn’t this game moved to friday?
No, you’re thinking of the Elite 24 game.
Maurice Harkless just continue to go to Forest Hills (Queens) High School because he will be a senior their and he can finish his career their own good note.He will be the leader and captian of the team.He can himself and Forest Hills by staying at the school.Also Kadeem Jack should go to Division 1 school because he may never get that chance again and this he was in the Jordan Brand Classic. In the Jordan Brand Classic he had 21 points and eight rebounds.Also if has know academic deficiencies why go to a prep school?
Jack had a breakout season at Rice this year, averaging a team-high 16.9 points per game. His breakout performance was a 24-point, 20-rebound and six-block explosion in a 71-56 win at Bishop Loughlin in January.
What more training do you need before college you play for Rice High School and the New York Gauchos.All you need do is gain some weight because you are 6’8” is which really tall.Since you already 210 pounds you gain 20 pounds so you can 230 pounds like Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant ,Lamar Odom,Rashard Lewis, Grant Hill and Shawn Marion.They are 230 pounds and a beast in the NBA unless you want to be 250 pounds like Lebron James.Instead of you using a prep school for extra year before to develope you should go to college and stay for more than one year.
