Yesterday, I took the time to watch JT Toppin and Texas Tech square off against Wake Forest in a BaHa Mar Championship game.  It was a close, back and forth game in which numerous players played well, but Texas Tech was able to hold on due to the strong play of JT Toppin and Christian Anderson, as well as the superb second half performance of Jaylen Petty to get the win.  Here are my thoughts on how Toppin and other various prospects fared, as well as how their games may currently stack up as prospects for the NBA.

JT Toppin had a solid showing to lead his team to a close win over Wake Forest.  Toppin was quite effective as a scorer, passer, and rebounder, and his post presence was key to helping his team get the victory.

Toppin showed a fairly solid ability to score out of the post.  He showed off a solid blend of strength, footwork, and scoring touch to score down low, and he also excelled at scoring on hustle plays.  He showed that he can capably score off the dribble.  Plus, Toppin was able to showcase his athleticism and motor, and he was able to throw down a thunderous dunk in transition.  However, he missed all of his three-pointers that he took from beyond the arc.

He also displayed solid playmaking skills.  Toppin is a very good passer out of the post, and he also made patient passes off the dribble to set up numerous scores for his teammates.  However, sometimes he would struggle to handle the ball when pressured, which led to some turnovers.  Toppin also rebounded the ball very well.  He also was active defensively.  However, sometimes he would commit fouls due to over-aggressiveness.

In general, JT Toppin played very well in his team’s win over Wake Forest, and his team will play against Purdue soon.  He is an athletic, high-motor forward that excelled at making plays on both ends of the floor.  He will need to improve his outside shot, but his strong production and solid feel for the game could enable him to be a solid role player in the NBA.

Juke Harris played very well in his team’s tough loss to Texas Tech.  He is an athletic, skilled forward that really excelled as a shooter and scorer to help his team on offense.  Harris showed a knack for scoring on strong drives to the hoop, as he has a crafty pump fake, and he has a good blend of having the strength, first step, footwork, and scoring touch to consistently get to the rim and score the basketball.  He also excelled at making spot-up threes off the catch.  Plus, he would also throw down powerful dunks on movement plays.

He also showcased satisfactory playmaking skills.  He was able to find the open man to boring a pair of assists.  On one play though, he drove to the hoop and attempted a spin move but had the ball ripped away from him to commit a turnover.

Harris did a great job of rebounding the basketball.  He also played satisfactory defense.  He was able to poke a ball away to get a steal, and he showed good hands defensively.  On the other hand, he also was called for a blocking foul when defending off the dribble once.

He also showed a solid ability to rebound the basketball.  Colvin also played satisfactory defense.  He would jump passes and get his hands on balls to get steals due to possessing good athleticism, timing, and instincts.  Sometimes though, he would commit reach-in fouls due to over-aggressiveness.

Overall, Colvin had a strong showing in this game, and he is a very athletic, skilled scoring guard that can make plays on both ends of the floor.  He’ll need to be a more consistent shooter on the floor, but he is a talented prospect that could end up being an effective role player at the NBA level.

Christian Anderson also played very well to help lead his team to a win over Wake Forest.  He is an agile, skilled playmaker that excelled as a shooter and passer, and he made clutch, timely shots in the second half, and he also made crisp passes to often set up scores for his teammates.  He was a bit turnover prone in the first half, but he quietly had a terrific second half due to possessing a high basketball IQ and the skills to consistently make plays down the stretch.  Overall, Anderson had a very good showing in this game, and he could end up being an effective role player in the NBA.

Luke Bamgboye is a very athletic big man that played well off the bench to help Texas Tech get the win.  He excelled at scoring on hustle plays, and he also caught an alley-oop off of a roll to score on a high-flying dunk.  Plus, he was very effective as a rebounder and interior defender, and he was able to block a shot off the dribble.  Overall, Bamgboye played very well in limited minutes, and he could project to be a solid, rotational big man at the NBA level.

However, he struggled as a shooter or scorer off the dribble, and he didn’t handle the ball particularly well.  He also wasn’t particularly impactful defensively, as he was quite foul prone due to over-aggressiveness.  Overall, while Spillers is a very good athlete, he will need to be a more skilled basketball player to be able to improve his odds to make it to the NBA.  Even if he doesn’t, he could end up having a lengthy career in professional basketball.
