Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase

Showcase brought in talented players all across Ohio, Michigan, and Georgia. The showcase brought in almost 150 athletes with talent.

9th grade devision(2012) had good size and good guard play. The players had lotss of skill and tennacity but I seen a lot of selfish ball playing and not as much team ball, but hey..its a showcase.

Top 10 player Rankings from 2012 devision

1. Ray Lee 6'1 PG MI: Played with a lot of flair and scored with a good percentage noting that he went out and distributed the ball well. Ray Lee has a tremendous feel for the game.

2. Elijah Macon 6'7 PF OH : Played with a smile but was very ferocious on the attack had numerous dunks in traffic and had a free throw line extended jumper that was on key.

3. Jalen Robinson 6''5 SF OH: Had a more so lousy day until the allstar game when he went crazy. He showed the fans a peek of his outside game which instantly showed he was a SF.

4. Cameron Fowler 6'0 SG MI: One of the most exiting to watch as he tried tip-back dunks, and tried to flush over some big men. Very boucy and got up the court for easy points.

5. Kechaun Lewis 6'0 SG OH: Like Fowler very exiting but not as active, Very smooth and gets up the floor, cherry picks for dunks and flashy over the rim fingeroll's

6. Nate Bucher 6'0 SG GA: Very unselfish player the way he would shoot the lights out you would expect more attemps from him. Just a pure shooter.

7. Malik London 6'7 PF OH: Very lean and athletic with the right mind set...dunk!

8. Dylan Kaufman 6'3 SF OH: Very smart player not so flashy, nor highly skilled but gets points from playing hard.

9. Landen Gaulden 5'8 PG OH: Very scrappy, Quick, tough vocal guard. Who faced the other teams best guard. In the Allstar game easily had the most assist.

10. Tyler Williams 6'1 SF GA: Very tough fast forward who got in transition and got easy layups, handles are his weakness and once his ball handling drills kick in he will get better.

8th Grade devision(2013)

A lot of good talent and many players with growth spurts, some the same size. The talent was there. You had some very skilled 7th graders who played up and did well.
Player Rankings from 2013 Devision

1. Marc Loving 6'4 SF OH: A parent expressed to me that he is the next upcoming kevin durant. Can do it all. Dribble, shoot, pass, and defend big men. Clearly Dominated and thats an understatement.

2. Demonte Flannigan 6'6 PF OH: Just so much bigger and easily score's. Work ethic needs to improve or other forwards will pass him later on..seen it so many times.

3. CJ Bussey 6'1 SF OH: Very tough and has lock down defense got in transition for easy buckets.

4. Deiondrary Martin 6’1 SF OH: Very good forward with an inside out game. handle can improve

5. Jalen Benton 5'9 PG OH: Jalen has great handle and pretty good size for a guard. Going into the 7th grade he s one of the best players in the state of Ohio. Can set up his opponent and is a monster at one on one moves.
