Jabari Parker is having an amazing start to this year’s AAU circuit. As his body continues to improve (Parker has shed weight and gained inches over the past 8 months) Parker’s game has followed suit. Splitting time between Ferrari and Mac Irvin Jabari has been on top of his game no matter what jersey he’s wearing. This highlight is from the 2011 Spiece Run n Slam. Look for more on Jabari next week…

Justin Jackson – 13 Year old phenom
Published May 3, 2011 Video Leave a CommentTags: 13 Year Old Justin Jackson, Justin Jackson, PK Flash Justin Jackson
When you watch Justin Jackson you tend to forget that he’s only 13 years old. His court vision and body control are amazing when you factor in his age and his 6’6 frame. More hoops than hype, Jackson shows poise bringing the ball up the court against pressure and he easily finds open teammates when he’s double teamed. Jackson showed a decent mid range game, although he was rarely stopped from getting into the paint. Jackson is widely regarded as one of the top players in the class of 2015.

Semaj Christon is already one of the hottest names on the AAU circuit this Spring and his stock should only rise. Currently he’s only been offered by Xavier but expect that to change very soon. Over the last month Semaj has shown that he is one of the top point guards in the class of 2012. The video above has highlights from the King James Shooting Stars Classic and the Top 50 Spring Showcase presented by the Cincy Prep Hoops Report. Semaj has a great mid range game and he’s an above average athlete. Semaj has received interest from Georgetown, West Virginia, Cincinnati, and Iowa to name a few.
