Sounds like Jordan Brown is living up to his ranking. 29 & 11 is big.

Hopefully they do better next session. How's Hardy playing?

With that roster three losses by ten or more is not acceptable period.

Arsenal is a SHOOTER away from being 4-0. Just need 1 guy that can consistently spot up and knock down or be a threat to knock it down. They were in every game and could have won the 3 they lost. They play disciplined and the coaching has their spacing looking great feeding the ball to the big guys. Don't be shocked if they go 4-0 on the next stop.

Shooter = Jack Kath. I agree on the discipline and spacing. 4-0 a real possibility.

I thought Naseem Gaskin looked great this weekend in the highlights and games I watched.

@NSBasketball Jack Kath and Brandon Beckman are shooters come on man. And I don't think 1 shooter would've made up for a 20 point loss against Compton Magic. And Atl Celtics seems to be in control the whole game. Team Lillard beat the Celtics!!!

Jordan Brown struggled first few games. But had a monster game to help Arsenal get their first win.

Being a shooter on your HS team is different from being a battle tested shooter on the circuit.. Arsenal needs a shooter!!!

Post some big or playoff game winning shots either guy has had.......

 

[MoneyTeam0115]

@NSBasketball so now you have to make game winners to be considered a shooter?? Maybe you meant another clutch player that can go get a bucket when Jordan Brown, Elijah Hardy, Naseem and Kelley is struggling.

My take is totally different then you guys how about the other side of this
and I do realize that I am talking about AAU basketball but how about having
some interest on the defensive side of the ball instead of guys driving it
all the way from the top of the circle to the basket with NO RESISTANCE
a little defense might help turn things around and with all the college's that
I am sure who have eyes on that assortment of talent it needs to be
addressed.

I'm not sure if you watched any of their games but at the adidas Gauntlet, there's a whole lot of defense being played in front of these coaches. Kids are taking pride in shutting down players, especially if they're high in the rankings.

Best of luck to them the rest of the spring and summer circuit.

anyone see the box score of Arsenal 1st game in Atlanta...looks like new addition (Austin Alexander - Capital Christian), while the shooter Beckman didn't make the trip.
