Pro City Kenner 7.3, Pt. 2

June 6, 2016 - Following is the second part of our Nike Pro City Kenner League coverage from 7.3.16. Click here for Pt. 1.

Per usual, expanded blurbs on Hoyas participating can be found on Premium Court.

Greg Whittington – Clydes, 6’9”, 195 pound G/F, Sioux City Sky Force – Scored 28 points, including hitting a game winning, cross over, hesitation three. Shot and drove. Was clearly a professional, knowing when to pass, shoot and take over.

A notorious talker, he really got on track after yapping; Case in point was Greg hitting a jumper after shaking ‘Nova’s Josh Hart, then screamed “What’s up man?” to him and the On Point bench, with the two having jawed previously. Whitt did what he does.

Should use his length and athletic ability more consistently on defense, where he could become a guy that stops twos, threes, and maybe ones.

Doesn’t know what his next professional step is – though he’s returned from a foot injury that sidelined him for much of this D-League season, Whitt is mulling Las Vegas NBA Summer League options and has not ruled out possibly heading overseas.

Josh Hart – On Point, 6’4”, 210 pound senior G/F, Villanova – Hart hit the court like gang busters, scoring, rebounding and battling. He’s still pound for pound one of the hardest playing guys in college ball. Contributed 13 points.

Had a nice battle with Whittington, the D-League pro, which crystallized his continued needed-development next steps of separation/direction changing moves. Hart has improved on this area, with that work continuing. Should also focus on finishing over length.

Jonathan Mulmore – Tombs, 6’3”, 185 pound junior G, Georgetown – Mulmore again illustrated he’s a fast, aggressive performer, scoring 21 points…(Premium Court)

Marcus Derrickson - Tombs, 6’8”, 235 pound sophomore F, Georgetown – While ‘only’ scoring 15 points, Derrickson did nothing to disprove any notion…(Premium Court)

Jagan Mosely – Tombs, 6’3”, 200 pound freshman G/F, Georgetown – Had eight points, again demonstrating he excels…(Premium Court)

Ian Hummer – Tombs, 6’5”, 230 pound F, international pro – Hummer, who starred at Gonzaga (DC) is still a rough and tumble competitor who battles, rebounds, is strong and aggressive. He’s a warrior.

Scored four points, but his impact was much greater. Should continue improving his lateral foot quickness.

Played in Germany last year, and is mulling his next international step.

Chris Martin – Tombs, 6’1”, 185 pound G – A recent graduate of Savannah State, Martin scored 19 points from midrange, long distance and at the rim. He’s a combo guard that can play both roles.

After finishing his college career at Savannah, playing for former Hoya Horace Broadnax, Martin is evaluating professional options with his agent team, Double B Management. Being more of a set up guy will likely improve those chances.

On Savannah State, Martin said “It was a great experience” one in which they played “Oregon, Utah, Mizzou” and other high majors, before facing a daunting MEAC slate. In league play sold out home games at Savannah’s Tiger Arena were common.

Bradley Hayes – DCX, 7’0”, 260 pound senior C, Georgetown – Had a quiet 12 point game…(Premium Court)

Mike Morsell – DCX, 6’5”, 200 pound sophomore G, Towson – Has really worked on his game and it showed; Morsell poured in 25 points, including many from the perimeter, where he’s worked hard to improve.

Mixing in a few more drop offs will further enhance his offensive effectiveness.

Zaid Hearst – DCX, 6’4”, 210 pound G, International Pro – All around backcourt guy had seven points, multiple rebounds and even took up the challenge of guarded Andrew Washington. Hearst is a competitor.

Must become a knock down shooter as a pro.

Andrew ‘Spongebob’ Washington – Premier Athletics, 6’3”, 220 pound G – Known as one of the more aggressive, loquacious competitors the DMV has produced in years, Washington displayed both those qualities along the way to 25 points. He took over the game.

Last year Washington didn’t play professionally for a team per se, instead competing in and winning the Fight Bar one on one competition. Washington elaborated on it, saying “It was a five figure one on one tournament I won. This year I’ll be back there, and it’s for six figures”.
