Its that time of year again, the biggest high school / AAU tournament of the year is coming.
I like watching these games because this is generally the time when players start to step up as more eyes come to watch the peach jam tournament of champions.
Carlton Carrington
Carrington plays for Team Melo, and they are in fighting contention to make the Peach Jam to compete for the title. But they must win games to make it. And, they are off to a 2-0 start in the final EYBL session with 2 very strong performances by Carlton Carrington yesterday and this morning.
Stats through 2 games
vs Houston-
14 points
7 rebounds
3 assists
5-9 shooting
2-3 from 3
1 turnover
vs Brad Beal
23 points
6 rebounds
7 assists
7-14 shooting
3-8 from 3
1 turnover (the box score says 0, but he had 1 turnover as I watched the game)
These are big time performances from Carrington and he was the best player on the floor in todays game. Outside of a few bad shots he put up, he was money all game long scoring and making plays. As I said previously with him, he has the tools to be a really nice player in time but needs better shot selection and more consistency ( he is young for his class). Lets see how he finishes out the EYBL but so far, he is on a tear to start off like Judah Mintz last year when Mintz made his huge rise. He plays again this evening. The thing to watch with him is more dribble penetration. He has a good first step to attack the basket, but needs to do it much more often. Today, he attacked the basket and it paid off. He consistently is rebounding well and generating assist production as he did these 2 things very well at the DMV Live earlier this summer.
Jaylen Curry
vs TSF
26 points
3 rebounds
3 assists
10-18 shooting
3-5 from 3

vs Vegas Elite

10 assists
5-11 shooting
1-1 from 3
3 turnovers
Curry put the team on his back today in a come from behind 2nd half victory after putting the team on his back yesterday with 26 points. He was fantastic with the ball making pinpoint passes to find open players as he racked up assist after assist in the 2nd half. Boo Williams is going to have to win out if they want to make the peach jam finals, but these are 2 big time performances from Curry to kick things off. Boo Williams plays again this evening.
The NY Rens with major Pitt targets Papa Kante and Ty-Laur Johnson are playing now.
