Elite60 Middle School Showcase
August 19, 2023

Scouting Report by Bilal Benjamin of 1st Love Basketball
Smith took home Co-MVP honors of the Elite60 Showcase and rightfully so! From the outside looking in he was in complete control every step of the way. It was impossible to keep Smith out of the paint. His ability to stop on a dime and go 0-100 is special. Smith made great decisions with the basketball in the open floor and half court settings. Top 3 biggest stock risers in attendance.

Scouting Report by Keith Agran of On the Radar
Drew raves from just about all the evaluators in attendance on social and it was easy to see why early in the day, sees the game ahead of his age and with good size for an 8th-grader utilizes that to victimize opponents, ended up taking home camp MVP honors as he was an all-around terror at both ends with intensity on D and a varied offensive skillset that had defenders waving at air, power and finesse on call and the upside as a future top recruiting target was apparent.
