The Phenom Grassroots TOC is this weekend in Rock Hill/Fort Mill, as it is the first LIVE Period with Phenom Hoops this season. The talent pool runs deep throughout and we want to give college coaches a leg up on who to watch and who will be in action. Here are a few players to check out for each team, presented by the head coach.
Team PUSH NC 2023
Jordan Durham
2023
6’4” G
A strong guard who is best when attacking the basketball and getting touches in the paint. Has the length to defend multiple positions effectively. Has worked tremendously this offseason to improve his physical strength and perimeter shooting.
Titus Ivy
2023
6’5” F
Lockdown defender willing to guard the other team’s best player. Comes from a great Cox Mill program where the emphasis on physicality and defense will benefit him at the next level. Lefty who can extend range out to the three-point line.
Kyshon Atkinson
2023
5’10” G
Athletic guard with a constant motor. Takes and makes shots at a high level and is extremely active on the defensive end. Great leadership intangibles and someone who pushes his teammates on and off the court.
Erik Lyons
2023
6’4” F
Physical forward with range to three. Uses his size well and has the ability to get above the rim for rebounds off two feet in the half-court. Has a strong motor and guards players above his size with his strength and toughness.
Ellis Williams
2023
6’1” G
Can fill it up from anywhere on the court. Does a great job of getting to his spots specifically in the mid-range and in catch-and-shoot situations from 3. Will continue to improve his strength throughout the offseason, but remains a willing defender and high-energy player.
