The P2BBall.com Invitational Tournament attracted many of the top players from across the country - their Prolific Performances impressed the many in attendance as well as our national scouts. Its our pleasure to introduce you to our 2024 All-Tournament Team.
Tournament MVP - Jerry Easter (USA National Select) |
Jerry Easter (USA National Select): The do it all PG out of Ohio is mature beyond
his years displaying not only elite level ball-handling prowess but also
excellent court vision and IQ. The mix of
cerebral basketball and raw talent is rare at such a young age. When you combine this with the ability to
penetrate and finish, score in the mid-range, and solid perimeter shooting you
have a future star in the making. Was
best in the game’s most crucial moments making plays for himself and others in
route to winning the championship and the tournament MVP Award.
Durral “Phat Phat” Brooks (USA National Select): Tough as nails two way performer, impacted
the game on both ends of the court.
Capable of leading the team in scoring while stopping the best the other
squad has to offer. Multi-category contributor
whose will to win is beyond his years.
Finishes well with both hands and is virtually unstoppable in
space. A soft touch makes him a threat anywhere
inside of 18-feet with the ball in his hands.
See plays before they develop and is a game changer as passer a skill
few at any level can master. A big combo
guard who is going to be a problem for opponents for years to come.

Isaiah Marshall (USA National Select): Silky smooth shooter scorer can knock it down off the catch or break you down off the bounce. Impressed with his ability to score off the bounce as well as finish in the painted area – great lateral mover who takes pride in making a difference on the defensive side. Excellent FT shooter who can multiple positions well and is the kind of player you want to go to battle with championship pedigree with a versatile skill set; the Swiss Army Knife of the 2024 class.
Travis UpChurch (USA National Select): We finally get to see the combo guard in his natural class of 2024 and he did not disappoint; he has added height, length and expanded his shooting range beyond the three point stripe. Has the goods to the play the lead but excels as a scorer; the jumper and pull-up are viable weapons both of the catch and the bounce and shows creatively on finishes completing moves that many kids wouldn’t even try. His presence alone stretches the floor and his solid mechanics and skill set make him a threat anywhere on the court. Has the mental make-up of a big time scorer with the skill set to match.
Isaiah Marshall (Detroit Doughboys): Best pure shooter we have seen at this
age group, shoots the ball already well beyond NBA range with one of the
quickest releases at any age group. Doesn’t
need much space to get shot off and amazingly enough he is actually shooting a
jump shoot in the 3rd grade. Pure scorer from anywhere inside half court he plays with a chip on
his shoulder and is capable for large and extended scoring outburst. Amazingly talented player has the
potential to be legendary in 2024 class.
Mariano “Momo” Tanedo (Maryland Finest): A natural jump shooter who showed us tremendous
scoring ability especially from distance.
Proved that he can handle the ball and run the show when needed he also
fought hard on the glass and on the defensive end. Played well without the ball finding his
spots and making the most of his opportunities – this is a player that must be
watched as the upside potential is huge.
Ahmed Zaid (Maryland Finest): Big time interior presence he craved out
space in the paint and made the most of his opportunities. Stepped out and got some buckets off the
catch while showing he could put the rock on the floor. Made a living in the interior were he gobbled
glass and scored off put backs or started the break for his teammates. Great motor, played every possession, and was
a difference maker throughout.
