Kingwood Classic
Louisiana Select vs. Georgia Stars
Greg
Monroe PF Louisiana Select Class of 2008
Monroe showed all facets of his game in this one. He
attacks the basket from the high post and perimeter like an
athletic two guard, not a power forward. This is helped by
his great handle. On the boards he gets quick off the ground
to capture his rebounds. He finishes around the hoop using
his incredible athleticism. Monroe ran the floor
consistently hard throughout the game. This game is a
perfect example of the fact that when Monroe plays
aggressive and assertive he is the best player in the
nation.
Storm Warren C Louisiana Select Class of 2008
Warren fights hard under the glass for points and boards.
He also has underrated athleticism, which is shown in his
shot blocking game. He is just outside of the top 100
nationally.
Al
Farouq-Aminu SF Georgia Stars Class of 2008 (Wake Forest)
Aminu showed off his small forward game against the
Louisiana Select. He can take his man off the dribble with
his solid, but not great handle. His shot stretches out
beyond the three point line. The boards are where Aminu
makes his money. The key for him to getting boards is being
active around the rim and being quick off the floor. Aminu
played like he was a top 5 player in his class.
Tony Woods C Georgia Stars Class of 2008 (Wake Forest)
Woods has a strong body and is really long. Like a lot of
young big men he is still very raw offensively. Most of his
points come off of offensive rebounds. Passing is one of the
things he showed that he can do on the offensive end. There
were several times that Woods had trouble finishing against
contact around the basket. Defensively he is a though and
gets rebounds. He is a solid shot blocker. Woods was a
slight disappointment in this game, but remains a top 25
prospect in 2008.
Travis Leslie SG Georgia Stars Class of 2008
Leslie is a great transition player. He gets out, runs, and
finishes with the best of them. His shot is not as
consistent as it could be, but he has a smooth stroke from
deep. He has the potential to grow into a solid college
player. He could crack the top 75 overall in the Class of
2008.
Wesley Witherspoon SF Georgia Stars Class of 2008
Witherspoon did not play up to his potential. He showed he
can get out and run in the transition game, but did not do
much in the half court. His potential is what makes him a
top 100 prospect.
