Khavon Moore is the Real Deal

It doesn't take long to see the talent 15U Atlanta Xpress has assembled across the board, but the guy that continually stands out for me is Khavon Moore. After the high school season, our HoopSeen staff proclaimed Moore as Georgia's best prospect in the 2018 class. I've never felt more confident about that than now. His combination of size and athleticism at such a young age brought high-major coaches to his last game Friday night. Get used to that.

Possible Game of the Tournament: 17U For the Love vs. Atlanta All-Stars

With four minutes remaining, For the Love led by 20 points. The game was a foregone conclusion. Then chaos happened. Atlanta All-Stars began pressing, forcing turnovers, and connecting from deep. Suddenly it was a 3-point game with 35 seconds remaining. From that point we had a timeout called by a team that didn't have a timeout, a technical foul, missed free throws, a crucial turnover, and ultimately a wild 1-point escape by For the Love. 

Andrew Gordon Tournament MVP?

It may be a little premature with a full weekend left, but 17U Team Speights' Andrew Gordon has to be in the conversation for tournament MVP. He just keeps getting better and better attacking the glass and finishing at the rim with such great size. He plans on going to a prep school for the upcoming year, but expect his stock to jump exponentially.

Stock Watch: Rising

Among the college coaches I've spoken to, I'm not sure there's been a more buzzy player on Friday than 17U The Travelers' Carson Williams. The guy just gets it done. Big, strong, athletic, attacks the rim with reckless abandon. It's no wonder St. Joseph's head coach Phil Martelli was on hand to see him among dozens of other mid-major coaches.

Odds and Ends:

- 2016 Kohl Roberts of the Georgia Heat gets it done. He battled a Top-100 post player on Friday and did a really nice job. High-academic low-majors should kick the tires here.

- Wellington Wolves are a sneaky good team. I wrote about them Thursday, but they have a handful of good ones aside from 2017 Trent Frazier in 2016 Scott Perry, 2016 Alex Keel, and 2016 Sean Dinkins.

- Got a 2018 to put on your map: Bryant Burton of Austin Elite. The youngster went for nearly 20 points in a very entertaining game against Wellington Wolves. Burton has a nice frame for a guard of his age with a scoring skillset.
