July Open Events

This is pretty funny.... Especially, the 'kids in the lobby,' 'jersey chaser in training,' and the quote, "there is always a massively overweight friend of every AAU program" in the 'fat guy carrying a sweat towel' topic. I saw the guy, per the pic, several times.

Those kids are out packed up in there during the evening sessions of the Peach Jam, and they are certainly chasing those young players in uniform. This certainly tells about the assortment of things going on at the Peach Jam.

Playaz

For a team to qualify for the Peach Jam, it has to go through a rigorous schedule in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League and find a way to win enough games to finish in the top five in one of the four divisions or hope they receive an at-large bid. Every team in the EYBL's roster features players who will play at the highest level of college basketball. But what they don't all have is a group of players who have great chemistry and players who will accept their role on the team.

The New Jersey Playaz won the Peach Jam on Sunday afternoon largely because of they are the ultimate team. Five-star guard Isaiah Briscoe grabs the most headlines on the team as the centerpiece for the Playaz, but he's flanked by a great supporting cast that includes Syracuse commit Moustapha Diagne, Temple Gibbs, Shakur Juiston, Elijah Cain and stud 2017 guard Trevon Duvall.

Briscoe does is it all for the Playaz, whether it's hit a big shot, set a teammate up for an easy bucket or make a big play on the defensive end. Briscoe saved his best for last this weekend, going for 20 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in the championship game win over Team Penny. Three-star 2016 guard Temple Gibbs is a key player in the backcourt for the Playaz and had some big games this weekend. At 6-foot-2, Gibbs has the speed and quickness to get to the rim on a consistent basis but can also burn a team from three-point range. Elijah Cain doesn't score quite as much as Gibbs and Briscoe, but his versatility and unselfishness allows the others to flourish. Trevon Duvall comes off the bench for the Playaz, but at times had to carry the scoring load if the team went into a dry spell.

Perhaps no player improved their stock this weekend more than Shakur Juiston. Despite being undersized at 6-foot-6 and roughly 200 lbs., Juiston consistently out-fought much bigger players for rebounds and scored when he needed to. In eight games at the Peach Jam, Juiston averaged 8.4 points and nine rebounds per game. His partner in crime in the post, Moustapha Diagne, also had a very good weekend, averaging 9.4 points and 8.4 rebounds.
