2014 Agame Supershootout 8th Grade Champions - DC Premier |
There was exceptional talent on display in the 8th
grade division at the Agame Supershootout below are 10 players who impressed on
the big stage throughout the event.
Anthony Harris (Team Takeover) – Proved very hard to contain
all weekend long, used all 94 feet to be a threat and to attack. We see lead guard all day with Harris as he
ran the team well in the half court – he penetrated and finished with great efficiency
and creative finishes.
Justin Moore (Team Takeover) – Looked good no matter what
role he played this weekend, Moore often look like the best post-up player and best
wing on his team, playing a full floor game he scored from all 3 levels,
guarded and continued to prove that is one of the premier players in the
country.
Marvin Price (DC PREMIER) – The versatile wing was
unstoppable at times especially in the championship game, he shot the ball well
the entire event, showed great pace, and he was special around the rim and in
the paint. An underrated and willing
defender Price also cleaned both glasses and passed well; he affected the game
in an array of ways and showed great polish.
His 30+ points in the championship game were beautiful to watch.
Sharif Kenney (DC PREMIER) – A certified problem, not much anyone in the
gym could have done with Kenney this weekend.
Played like it was his job to dominate but was still able to drop some
very impressive dimes to his teammates.
Literally can play all five positions equally as well at this level and put
a hurting a lot of big names on his way to the chip.
Makhi Mitchell (DC PREMIER) – Nursed an injury the entire tournament
but still impressed dominating the painted area defensively blocking or changing
any shot that came in his area – looked solid when he stepped out and faced up
handled and broke down his man; he passed extremely well out of double teams
and was a consistent scorer. You can see
him improve from game to game, showed he has another level as the comp got
stiffer.
Makhel Mitchell (DC PREMIER) – Did it all for an already
loaded DC Premier team, ran the break and acted as the finished. Saw the court very well and showed a solid 3
ball from distance. Looked smooth and
confident anywhere on floor with the ball in his hands and was a tough cover and
defensive presence. Contributed in each
game to 5 categories and acted as a rim wrecker on one end and a rim protector on the other.
With the length and skill combination will be hearing this name for years to
come.
Keon Brooks (I10 Celtics) – Played well in transition and
slashed well – was a consistent scorer each time out. Was able to shoot over players as well as get
the job done in the painted area. Used his
length to be disruptive in the passing lanes and was a maven on the defensive
end. Unselfish he passed exceptionally well
setting up teammates all weekend. Played tough and hardnosed he got the tough
bucket when his team needed it.
Sydney Curry (I10 Celtics) – Curry is built ford tough, his offensive game
is really expanding – he showed a great face up package working effectively
from 15; he put the ball on the floor and finished with both hands and with
power. Still the MAN with the back to
the basket, his soft hands and work on the boards made him a difference maker without
scoring. Showed IQ and maturity with his ability to pass out of the post, the jump
shot looked good and made him a challenging cover all weekend. This is a kid to watch as Curry is about to
become a household name for those that didn’t already know what we do.

Brian Antoine (TEAM RIO) – Antoine was one of the most
skilled players in gym period. The guard
buried jump shots, finished with authority at the rim and displayed high level
ball handling skills along with great court vision - flat out has the goods after
seeing him compete this weekend with some of the top wings in his class.
Antoine will be one of the top players in this class when it’s all said and
done that was clear and apparent and proven on the court this weekend. Even
with playing at a superstar level during the tournament its clear he is nowhere
near his ceiling.
