I don't beleive they are the most talented team. I think the Shining Star-Stowers team has a better first five.

 

1. Russ Middleton

2. Vee Sanford

3. Steven McFarland

4. Cam Clemons

5. Garrison Collins

 

Big mismatch at the guard position. Faulkners can't match up with Middleton and Sanford. McFarland is one of the best at his position and will be a problem for the DS team as well.

 

I do like the Donovon and Phares combo. But not enough to pick them over the Shining Star Sports-Stowers team.

 

Vee Sanford is a mismatch for just about any guard with has steals on the ball.

 

Phares game is now on another level now! Will be a great game.

I agree.. Derek Smith Allstars are loaded and will win the tournament. There's no team remotely close to having the talent they have. Its off the charts. With the athletes and offensive firepower they have and especially the coaching, I hope they institute the mercy rule with a running clock.

Kind words with an element of truth to them:laugh:

 

Your not looking for locker room material are you?:eek:

Now your talking:scared:

That should offset the Locker room material from BG ELite:D

The KY Players will be fun to watch! They get up and down the court very well with alot of dunks. They have a chance in the 16u AAU State. All five shoot the three and handle the ball very well.

Not since the days of Alcindor and Walton of UCLA have we seen a dynasty like this with the Derek Smith Allstars. And this unit tops them all. Even the Wizard of Westwood, John Wooden, would be outmatched by the superior basketball mind that looms on the DS Allstar sideline.

Sanford and Middleton over the Faulkners? No way, Calipari's Memphis backcourt with Derrick Rose would struggle to contain the Faulkners. My advice, back the ball out, stall and milk the clock. This won't help you win, but it will save your dignity by not letting them hit the century mark on points and winning by 50. Good luck to ya.

Wow!

No team comes close to DS. I agree. Phares will put them on the level of high major D1 team. If we keep talking about it, some team are liable to drop out from shear fear of having to play them. The dominated a Southern Cal #2 team that might have been the tournaments best shooting team. Am I right shooter? My guess is they are 1 to 1 even odds to win this event.

 

I believe that one of the Shining Star teams already beat the Derek Smith team in Cincinnati earlier in the year. In that tournament both Derek Smith teams (17u and 16u) were eliminated by Shining Star teams.

More kind words but Mclovin ain't buying what your selling

(but I can see where your coming from)

The intent is not to be kind, just trying to spare lives. This might be the one event where you could actually have the awards ceremony with the presentation of the champions trophy at the beginning rather than the end of the tourney.

This dabate makes for a great State AAU! All come back Sunday and man up when it is over! Agreed?

I am pretty sure that I read the same thing last year, and the year before!!

Just a minute ago on ESPN 8 (The Ocho) Bilas, Vitale, and Phelps all three picked the DS team to win it. It's over.

Just curious, did you see any of the other teams play this past weekend at full strength? Who do the Kentucky Thunder and HLB have on their teams?

 

Again, I ask McLovin the above question?

They didn't even have Phares this weekend, and did an amazing job, will be very hard to come close to him with him back this week.

He can definately play but has a tendency to post sometimes and becomes ineffective.

 

My guess is he will come to play this weekend.

Agreed, but he has all of what is needed to become a great player, including size. It's up to him how good he will become.
