James Carlton – Beyond Belief, 6’8”, 220 pound forward, D-League – Long and athletic, Carlton, a Howard University grad played with the NBA D-League’s OKC Blue last season. Is under contract there.

Carlton is aggressive around the rim, offensively and defensively. Will bang and is mobile.

Scored 14 points.

Demetric Austin – Beyond Belief, 6’5”, 230 pound senior forward, Dillard U. – Austin scored 16 points, mostly in the paint, where he gives and accepts contact.

Needs to further his outside game.

Kameron Taylor – McClinton All Stars, 6’7”, 195 pound forward – A graduate of Seton Hill, Taylor scored 11 points by being active and defending.

Didn’t shoot much from the perimeter.

Anthony Cowan – McClinton All Stars, 5’10”, 160 pound freshman point guard, Maryland – Despite shooting well below his usual perimeter clip – he as off – Cowan still scored 23 points by driving in multiple situations. Also found teammates regularly, and plucked a few ball handlers.

Must get stronger and continue picking his spots.

Bradley Hayes – DCX, 7’0”, 260 pound senior center, Georgetown – Had to get his off the glass. Scored 11 points…(Premium Court).

Keon DeSheilds – DCX, 6’2”, 195 pound point guard – DeSheilds dropped 12 points, a number that minimizes his impact, as he drove, lead, shot and defended. He’s a true, cagy, competitive point guard.

Not super fast and playing under the rim is not a problem for DeSheilds.

“Sam Cassell taught me to play with the tools I have” relayed Keon of a discussion he had with another Baltimore point man. “Know your tools”.

Was the Tennessee State men’s athlete of the year last season, in addition to earning First Team All-OVC honors and a berth on this year’s OVC All-Newcomer Team.

Is looking to go overseas and play. DeSheilds is the kind of player that will succeed wherever he goes.
