Houston - A few thoughts on youngsters, newcomers or the less heralded that caught TexasHoops.com Analyst Sam Lowe eyes at Fort Bend ISD and Cy-Fair ISD Tournaments.
Fort Bend ISD Tourney News and Notes
Kevin McGasgey -- 2019 5-8 Fort Bend Ridge Point -- The shifty and quick point guard made an impact throughout the game but nothing better than hitting a 40-foot runner off the glass to pull the upset win over Spring Westfield.
Eden Holt -- 2018 5-7 Fort Bend Austin-- Another shifty and small PG who can make things happen with the ball in his hands. A dead-eye shooter from the arc when he gets an open look with his feet set who can also create and dish. He was deadly from the 3 point line in back to back games on Thursday.
Kyler Edwards -- 2018 6-5 Arlington Bowie -- Making a move into the top 10 with his performance this season. He is an explosive athlete with good perimeter skills with a smooth stroke from 3.
Trajan Harris -- 2017 6-1 Silsbee -- A slithery guard who knock down shots in bunches. He gets lost behind the stars of the Silsbee team but his shot-making and quickness on defense are a big part of the teams success.
Jalen white -- 2020 6-2 Clear Springs -- A bouncy and thin athlete, this freshman doesn't back down. He has a soft and smoother jumper from 15-17 feet and makes plays in the open floor.
Cy Falls Invitational News and Notes
Will Baker -- 2019 6-9 Austin Westlake -- The thin and developing big man doesn't get a ton of touches but makes the most of them. He finished all his opportunities at the rim with a soft touch and good hands. While he will need to add weight/strength over the next few years, his feet and coordination for a young big can be impressive.
Nigel Hawkins -- 2018 6-4 Cy Falls -- The strong and athletic guard continues to string together nice performances. He is tough to contain off the bounce and is an explosive finisher at the rim.
Jwan Roberts -- 2019 6-7 Killeen Shoemaker -- A long and lean lefty made plays at the rim as a shot blocker/rim protector and runs the floor well. A capable finisher with nice hands, he has a chance to develop over the next two years.
Montavious Murphy -- 2019 6-7 Klein Collins -- The rangy wing has a nice inside/outside game as he can stretch the defense to the 3 point line or attack and finish at the rim. A thin frame will need to get stronger but his skill and bounce on the court show signs of being a high flying scorer.
Myles Brown -- 2017 6-0 North Shore -- A sharp-shooting lefty who can stroke it from the 3 point arc. He has a smooth release and scores in bunches with a soft jumper and quick release.
Freshman Takeover -- Not often do you see 4 freshman start a game at the 6A level but that was the case in the Cy Fair vs Cy Lakes matchup...
Nik Ellis -- 2020 5-11 Cy Fair -- Very quick and fast ball handler who can create and get his team into offense
Adrian Caldwell -- 2020 6-3 Cy Fair -- Athletic slashing wing who can finish at the rim in traffic
Zechariah Selvege -- 2020 5-11 Cy Lakes -- Lefty with quickness in the open court and the ability to push it up court
Cameron Clardy -- 2020 5-11 Cy Lakes -- Solid build scorer who can put it on the floor and knock down a mid-range jumper.
