Virginia Top 80 Team 2 Evaluations

Coach Kelvin Mills

#2 Jarontez Garrett

“Jarontez Garrett is an exciting and explosive player with untapped upside. He is a run and jump kind of athlete, so it is no surprise when he explodes at the rim.. He can really shoot the ball with solid range, all the way out to 17 feet. He showcased really good shooting mechanics. Continue to work on his defensive mind and rebounding.”

#6 Titus Lawrance

“Titus Lawrance is a true point guard. He can score from anywhere on the floor and showed that consistently at the event. He can hit the mid-range and three-point jumpers off the catch. Knows how to finish in traffic and attack the rim with his basketball IQ. This young man is college ready. Plays without the ball in his hands as well. Has an excellent attitude and will give you max effort on both ends of the floor. He is young and will only get better.”

#8 Grant Lopez

“Grant Lopez is a combo guard that can fill it up. He is most dangerous in the open court and has tremendous ball quickness and is almost impossible to stop in transition or one on one getting into the pain. Excellent vision and passing skills as well. He has ball skills that are college ready. High basketball IQ and is fundamentally sound. Continue to work on his rebounding ability.”

#23 DJ Slaughter

“DJ Slaughter is a big guard with excellent size. He has a willingness to go right into contact and finish. He is an excellent ball handler with very impressive ability to change direction with the ball that makes him that much more dangerous. He has great court vision and is always a threat to deliver the ball to an open teammate.”

#65 Cole Meadows

“Cole Meadows is a natural perimeter player who is a high percentage three point player, showing that he could hit from anywhere he was on the court. He sees the floor very well and also in transition. He also is wired to be a scorer and really passed the ball well also. He can put the ball on the floor and has a very high motor.”

#68 Jalen Hargrove

“Jalen Hargrove can flat out shoot the ball. A bucket getter form all over the gym. Good ball handler that sees the floor well. He makes good decision with the ball, especially in transition. Love the way this kid rebounds. His skill sets and his competitive drive make him one of the best wing players in his class of 2019.”

#70 Latief Mustafa

“Latief Mustafa is a kid that is simply a play maker. His game is smooth and easy. He can create his own shot from anywhere on the floor and he is a tremendous passer, especially in the open court. He has a natural poise. He can also rebound the ball from the guard spot and is always a threat to go coast to coast. Continuing to work on moving without the ball.”

#84 Joshua Whelan

“Joshua is a big body post that runs the floor really well for his size. He knows how to seal his defender deep into the lane. He has good post moves also. He can finish through contact and likes to face the basket. He can shoot with range out to 15 feet. He is a good shot blocker, a good rebounder, and this kid works. He was the MVP in Game 1 and Game 2.”
