The Grassroots Finale 17U Top Performers Part III
Virginia Beach, VA - Another travel season is in the books and we finished the season off with a bang at our Grassroots Finale in Virginia Beach. Let’s take a deep dive into our second set of top performers in the 17-and-under division.
Christian Outlaw, DB Elite - Outlaw really impressed me over the last two days with his play in the post. He scored 25 points on Saturday night and 16 points this morning, helping to lead DB Elite to a 3-1 record on the weekend. Sometimes guys have a breakthrough during an event and start to figure it out, I think this was the case with Outlaw, he really look like a guy that is scholarship worthy at the four or five position. - Justin Byerly
Ian Bush, Team Curry - The long and lengthy forward continues to show flashes of a high upside. He is going to run the lanes, block shots and rebound. Bush is a natural athlete that can get a lot done on the floor and is a stat-stuffer. Bush has a high-level motor, something that college coaches have to take notice of. He recently picked up an offer from Lesley University, a Division III program in Massachusetts. - Justin Byerly
Kellen Karr, Carolina Rip Tide - the 6 foot six prospect from North Lincoln High School was probably the best passer that I saw on the weekend. He has a high skill set with his size. He can shoot smaller defenders and make tough passes. He had a really good line on Saturday night going for 12 points seven rebounds and five assists. he is also a high-level high school baseball pitching prospect. - Justin Byerly
Justin Brown, All-Carolina - Brown is an interesting prospect that has size, athletic ability and length. The 6 foot seven forward had a very strong weekend with Team All- Carolina. Brown is one of those guys you can throw out there and he can make shots some from the perimeter and he can get baskets around the rim. Over the weekend a few monstrous dunks that showcase his athletic ability. He gets good position for rebounds and altering shots. - Justin Byerly
Trevor Rehm, PK Flash - PK Flash was a refreshing and fun team to watch this weekend with their style of play. Trevor Rehm was a big reason for their success with his versatility. He had coaches coming to see him on multiple occasions this weekend. - Mekhi McKinney
