LOUISVILLE, KY – The annual spring stage of the Grassroots Showcase was once again loaded with teams, prospects and storylines. With states from all over the country and Canada represented, there were plenty of notes to go through. 

Our partners at Ohio Basketball caught the action and roll out some of their top performers from the action at the Grassroots Showcase. 

Let’s take a look at our top overall performers from the action, starting with the younger age groups.

Jordan Terrell, 2027, The Movement Basketball Club

High IQ point guard with an absolute bag. His handles are smooth, and he does a great job protecting the basketball in traffic. He sees the floor remarkably well and can get the ball to his teammates in a variety of ways. But the most impressive thing about his game is his ability to score. He can hit a step back from 20+ feet or he can break you down and finish at the rim. His body control in traffic, both on the ground and in the air, is what makes him so hard to defend around the basket. 

Jabari Burleson, 2027, Neighborhood Stars

Has good height, allowing him to be a very good passer over the top and down the floor against the press. Strong finisher that can power his way to the basket or use finesse at the rim. Does a great job of forcing the shot blocker too deep to use the rim to protect his finishes. Uses both hands very well, resulting in some very nice unpredictability at the rim.

Javion Sanderson, 2028, Marshall Warriors

Kid is blazing fast from point A to point B. If you give him a transition opportunity he’s going to be gone in a flash. That’s not good for opponents considering how well he can put the ball in the basket. He can fill it up with a nice looking jumper, or use his quickness to sneak through for slicking layups. His nose for the rim gets him a good amount of free throws as well.
