Doug Anderson, 6-6, 2009, Michigan
Mustangs-
by far the most exciting player to
watch play over the weekend, just
sick hops. 11 dunks in the
championship game. Won the MVP
while his team won the ship.
Keith Appling, 6-2, 2010, REACH
Legends-
really excels in the fast pace of
AAU basketball, got to the basket
time after time. Led REACH is
scoring while playing up on the 17-u
team.
Cameron Boli, 6-4, 2009, Central
All-Stars-
the wing-guard led his team to the
semi-finals by averaging a
double-double, even after spraining
an ankle in the first game on
Friday.
Justin Edmonds, 6-3, 2010, Next
Generation-
played double duty for the teams
that have no affiliation with NGS.
Put up a ton of points but was
mostly a one man show.
DeAngelo Haley, 6-3, 2009, Detroit
Fire-
led the Fire in scoring and helped
them advance to the 17-u finals.
Haley can explode to the basket or
step out a drain a 3-ball.
LaDonte “Buckets” Henton, 6-5, 2011,
Michigan Mustangs-
Buckets played up on both the 16-u
and 17-u Mustang teams and did more
than hold his own. Led the 16’s in
scoring while getting 10 a game with
the 17’s.
Jon Horford, 6-8, 2010, Michigan
Mustangs-
cleaned up the glass for the Stangs
and also blocked a ton of shots.
His ability to pass and score on the
high post broke defenses down.
Dedo Jackson, 5-9, 2010, Michigan
Mustangs-the
PG did his job by running the show
and delivering shots out equally to
his teammates. When he wasn’t
tossing assist he was forcing
turnovers and getting his own
shots. 3-point shot is much
improved.
Alex Jones, 5-11, 2011, TEAM
Basketball-
tough combo guard with a high
basketball I.Q., can really get
after it defensively. Needs to
polish his offensive skills but work
ethic seems to be there.
Patrick Lucas-Perry, 5-10, 2011,
Michigan Mustangs-
switched on and off from the one and
the two all weekend, and looked good
at both. Made some big plays
defensively as well as showing off
his offensive skills by getting to
the basket, and hitting shots from
the elbow and 3-point range.
AJ Mathews, 6-3, 2011, Common Bond-
solid wing with the ability to score
in a variety of ways. 6-3 with a
solid frame that he uses to bully
his opponent. Led CB in the 15-u
Championship while taking home MVP
honors.
Kallante Miller, 6-4, 2009, Detroit
Fire-
athletic and physical player that
played four different positions over
the weekend. He gives Fire that
swagger that every team needs.
Juwan Moody, 5-9, 2011, Michigan
Mustangs-
came up with a big shot every time
the Stangs needed one. Showed off
his range by hitting some deep
3-pointers. Did a heck of a job of
running the point and setting up
teammates.
CJ Olaniyan, 6-5, 2010 TEAM
Basketball -
very strong and physical player that
also has some bounce. He just over
powers his opponent on the glass.
Needs to develop some post moves
because he relies too much on his
strength and hops.
Dion Sims, 6-6, 2009, REACH Legends-
credit the wing because he
played every position on the floor
but I would still like to see him
spend some more energy defensively.
Did a solid job when he ran the
point.
Drew Valentine, 6-5, 2009, Michigan
Mustangs-
has stepped up as the floor general
of the talented Stangs. Got to the
basket and hit some big “and 1’s”
when the going got tough for his
team. Made all-tourney team for the
17-u championship team.
Trey Ziegler, 6-4, 2010, Team
Detroit-
Mr. Fundamental carried his team,
from his PG position, by leading
them in points, assist, steals, and
rebounds. He led them to the
semi-finals where they fell to the
Mustangs but were able to keep the
score close.
