Gerald Green and Javon
Adams lead Houston Elite to Championship game
Wow! That exclamation probably doesn't do Gerald Green
justice when describing his game but it will have to do. The
6-foot-8 shooting guard erased any doubts as to who the nation's
top perimeter player is with back to back performances of 18 and
19 points. But it wasn't the total points scored but the manner
in which he scored them.
With sick athleticism and a complete offensive arsenal, Green,
who is currently ranked the nation's 9th best prospect by
Rivals.com, dazzled onlookers with a barrage of long jumpers and
one-on-one moves that proved him nearly unstoppable and
inevitable brought up talk of him making the jump from high
school to the NBA.
When the next Rivals.com top 150 is released look for Green to !
be ranked among the top two prospects with No. 1 a strong
consideration.
His backcourt partner, point guard Jovan Adams continued
to be the glue that holds the Elite team together and in
tonight's win over the powerful EBO program the lighting quick
point guard sparked the run that led to the victory.
Adams, 5-foot-11, used his killer crossover and nice hesitation
move to penetrate the EBO defense and fearlessly challenged the
6-foot-11 Lopez twins. In one move late in the game Adams drove
hard left and used his body to move both twins off the ball and
finish. Adams, who is currently ranked No. 14 in the nation by
Rivals.com, is the complete package and once he learns to run a
college offense will be an instant impact player.
Over 20 college coaches were in attendance and immediately after
the game were sent scrambling to find out the current situation
of the Texas athlete. Arkansas, Boston College, Illinois,
Oklahoma, UNLV and Washington are the early leaders.
