Blalock tallied 8 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists and 1 block. Huey’s shiftiness and court vision make him among Georgia’s elite passers. He gets penetration routinely and always has assists on his mind, passing up short floaters for wide open kick out threes. Huey is the definition of a true pass-first point guard, but......

Summer Jam: Day 1 Top Performers By: Kyle Sandy 2024 6-7 W Timo George – FOTL Gold – IMG A mismatch with his size, strength and diverse skill set, Timo George got whatever he wanted against OSA.

He uses his brute strength and soft touch when in the paint banging for hoops, but can also stretch out to the wing and attack downhill with a quick first step. Timo finishes with dunks and is a workhorse on the offensive......
