2018 Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions 13U/12U top performers
The 13U/12U and under division of the 2018 Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions was jam-packed with talent. We take a deep dive into the age group and identify the top overall performers from the talent-filled weekend.
13 AND UNDER
Win Miller - Birmingham Razorbacks
Win Miller was one of the best scorers I saw throughout the Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions. Because he’s taller than almost every guard his age, Miller is able to rise up over defenders for easy buckets. On Saturday, I saw him go for 39 points versus Elite Strong and not once did he crack a smile. The same held true on Sunday morning when he scored 25 on a tough Alabama Hoopers squad that also couldn’t seem to find a player to matchup with him. The lanky guard has a nice repertoire of moves that he can go to in any situation. He finished through contact and doesn’t miss very many free throws. If Miller’s game continues to progress at this pace, I can easily see him being one of the top scorers in Georgia’s class of 2023. - Bre Singleton
Zy Pryor - Da House
For a player who is built like a bigger guard. Zy Pryor is an excellent big man for Da House 2023. He has his way in the paint on Saturday versus a well-rounded TNBA South team that had its own solid post players. Pryor is a double-double machine and a player who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty down low.
Matthew Bewley- Florida United
When you’re 13 years old and already 6-7, it’s not very hard for you to stand out. What’s impressive about Matthew Bewley is that he doesn’t have any of the awkwardness in his game that’s to be expected from a kid with his size. Bewley’s footwork can get him a bucket from almost any spot in the floor. As one can imagine, rebounds aren’t hard to come by for the guard/forward either. He’s got solid timing around the rim and can swat shots that his matchup simply can’t shoot over him.
12 AND UNDER
Johnny Brown - Powerhouse 2024
Johnny Brown just plays with a swagger that not a lot of kids his age have developed yet. When he’s got his mind set in a bucket, he can put together any combination of moves to get to the rim and finish on whichever side of the cup is available. Brown was key in Powerhouse’s championship game and proved to be the spark that got them the trophy.
