Wright's Basketball Scouting Report Sheldon Adidas Challenge

Scouting involve lots of travel to events where basketball and potential prospects come together. This week I traveled to Sacramento for the Sheldon Adidas Challenge . Sacramento's top high school teams came together for this showcase event. The players I thought played well with their high school team are as follows. I watched the last five games, I missed the first two games (Pleasant Grove vs Christian Brothers and Elliot Christian vs Benicia).

West Campus: 79 Weston Ranch: 71

#23 Nate Karren/6'8 /Sr./Post player for West Campus played well along with #2 Quincy Taylor/ 6'2/So./Guard. #5 Devin Small/5'11/Jr./Guard had a solid performance.

Dishon moves well, has a good jump shot, his foot work is improving and he will get stronger. Vanden has #11 Jhaylon Martinez/6'10 /So./Forward 9 points. Jhaylon has to decide if he wants to be a top player, he has the tools.
