USA south won the tournament. AG averaged 21 ppg 5 asts 4 rebs. Scored 28 in the final and held fellow highly touted PG Trae Young to 3-15 shooting. Also played the full 40 minutes

Interestingly enough, we have an offer out to T. Young. Not sure how seriously we're targeting him though, especially given our recruitment of Nate Pierre-Louis.

Well i think with the commitment of AG, having Jalen on the roster, as well as pursuing a number of '17 PG's, we aren't carrying through a whole lot with the Trae Young interest
 
It should be illegal to predict anyone ahead of Kemba before they step into Storrs.. If somehow that ever happens then that is great but that prediction should never ever be made... I would post tcfs video of Kemba in MSG or the Maui tourney to remind you of Kembas greatness but this is Gilberts thread and I respect that....

People need to take it easy with those comparisons. He's a similar height to those guys, but that's where the comparisons end.

Bazz and Boat use their shots to set up the drive. Gilbert uses the drive to set up his mid-range and deep games. His style is closer to Kemba's, but they play very differently too.

While I don't disagree in the slightest, I'd be even more shocked if a guy was picked to be better than Emeka.

Good point reminds me of Dyson with the quick drive and then shot or layup

Alterique Gilbert, 5-11, PG, Norcross, Georgia, 2016 High School Class

Analysis

The undersized, scoring point guard and UConn commit Alterique Gilbert put together a very impressive four-game tournament, eventually ending in a championship victory over USA East. Over the course of the entire Nike Global Challenge Gilbert averaged 27.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.3 assists per 40 minutes pace adjusted while posting a 23.2 PER and shooting 59.1% from two and 30.8% from three.

Sporting a strong frame, outstanding quickness and explosive leaping ability for a player his size, Gilbert got into the paint at will while knocking down a handful of tough threes off the bounce. Playing with more of a scorer's mindset at this stage, Gilbert had no problem creating his own shot in the half court by using a bevy of hesitations and combo moves that were tough for defenders to contain when combined with his athletic ability.

Gilbert also did a tremendous job finishing inside the paint despite his less than stellar stature. The Georgia-native showed no fear challenging rim protectors, and even went coast to coast, elevated off one foot and almost hammered one home on a near seven-footer before getting fouled in the championship game.

Gilbert also did a nice job creating space to get to his jumper, utilizing quick crossovers and step backs in isolation or pick and roll situations. Gilbert is more of a shot-maker than a pure shooter at this stage, as he takes a lot of contested jumpers and struggles with his balance at times.

As a point guard and decision maker, Gilbert still has some room to improve. He's a more than capable passer, and he showed that with a handful of pick and roll dimes and transition drop offs, but Gilbert is more often than not driving to score, resulting in low percentage shots in the paint or missed teammates from time to time.

Defensively, Gilbert has the strength and quickness to be a very pesky defender. He's not always overly focused on that end of the floor, however, and will struggle containing, contesting and bothering shots or passes from bigger point guards.

Overall, Gilbert has some room to develop his decision making and pure point guard skills, but he's an elite athlete for his position, can make tough shots on the dribble and could very play a Pierre Jackson type of role at the college level in time.

Jackson also just made some money for himself by earning a guaranteed NBA contract after bouncing around a bit as a 2nd round pick. Probably will be Philly's starting PG this year.

I remember UF and UK having some pretty big guards and we all know how that went for them. Size does not always matter if you have a ton of heart- this kid just screams "UCONN PG".
