Ft. Mill Knicks finished 2-1 in pool play, but lost 70-68 to Team Elevate, which determined the team that advanced to bracket play. That being said, 6’1 ’17 Marquis Caldwell had a great weekend at the Grassroots TOC. However, his game against Team Elevate was tremendous. He finished with a game high 26 points.
Marquis did an excellent job of scoring from all levels on the court. He has good open court speed and has the ability to dribble penetrate and score in traffic. In addition, Marquis has good range and can also knock down the 3-pointer. In the two-point loss to Team Elevate, Marquis went 5-5 from the free throw line.
We were impressed with his toughness and how hard he competed on the court. While he did a splendid job of scoring from various levels on the court, he did an admirable job of getting his teammates involved in the game. We felt he balanced out his role nicely by being a strong scoring lead guard.
