Portsmouth Pre-Draft Showcase presented by Eurobasket Co-MVP's and All-Star team! - Apr 24, 2014
This was a great group of rookies at our first Portsmouth Pre-Draft Showcase presented by Eurobasket and it did not disappoint. In fact, other than the PIT Invitational that brings in the top Division I 64 senior players in the nation, we definitely had the best of the rest small college top seniors.

This was a great group of rookies at our first Portsmouth Pre-Draft Showcase presented by Eurobasket and it did not disappoint. In fact, other than the PIT Invitational that brings in the top Division I 64 senior players in the nation, we definitely had the best of the rest small college top seniors. This particular group of guys worked hard, played together and competed each day making the selection process for the MVP's and All-Star team very difficult. None the less, the coaches have based their decisions on the following: professionalism, effort, and the statistics produced during the 3 day event.
Co-MVP's Jordan Weidner (188-G, college: Ind.Wesleyan) and Tyler Peters (193-G, college: Wheaton, IL)
Jordan Weidner displayed all the qualities in an MVP we were looking for as he led his team to the championship just like he led Indiana Wesleyan to the NAIA National Championship where he was voted MVP as well. He is a terrific leader, especially when it is crunch time that can score and lead in a number of ways. Jordan just seems to find ways to get things done and his experience and team leadership were second to none. Look for Jordan to end up playing in Europe next season.
Tyler Peters is a big time athlete and point guard who can damage other teams in a lot of ways. Tyler has a nice shooting touch stretching it out to the NBA line. He can get his shot off at will and he explodes over defenders with his NBA athleticism. Tyler is great at absorbing contact and still finishing around the rim. He is also a fantastic ball handler who will be an excellent point guard at the next level. Tyler can defend and rebounds extremely well from the guard position. Dont be surprised to see Tyler on a NBA summer league roster this summer.
Brandon Spearman (190-G, college: Hawaii) was very close to being one of the co-mvps as he is a great leader and does a great job of getting his teammates involved in offensive play. Brandon is a very good shooter from 3pt range and is a good finisher in the open court as he can absorb contact and finish in traffic. Brandon sees the floor and can run a team at a high level without a doubt. Brandon is a tough defender with quick hands and can defend any ball screen situation with ease. He also has a high Basketball IQ and does great job recognizing favorable match-up situations. Look for Brandon be possibly be on a NBA summer league roster as well this summer.
Davis Rozitis (213-C-90, college: Hawaii) is an excellent hard working post player that has a nice shooting touch extending out to NBA range. Davis can run the floor well and finish in the open court and has a nice touch around the basket with both hands. He is solid low post defender with the athletic ability to defender smaller players. He is also a good passer and rebounds extremely well. Davis is a solid rebounder and has a bright future playing international professional basketball.
Mario Gulley (198-F, college: Culver Stockton) is a great prospect as he can handle it, shoot threes and get to the basket. He is a great athlete as he could be a very athletic swing man that has a nice game of slashing to the basket and shooting the perimeter shot all the way to NBA 3. Mario runs the floor well and is a very good rebounder. He is perfect for any quality situation at the entry level in Europe for sure.
Mike Liabo (198-G-91, college: Tenn-Martin) is an excellent wing man who can score in bunches from anywhere on the floor.
He has a deep shooting range and can pull up off the pass or dribble without needing a lot of space to shoot. Mike can finish at the rim in traffic and is a great passer as well.
Mike has a high basketball IQ and is a good leader on the floor. Look for Mike to utilize his Italian passport and play in Italy this season.
Lamar Mallory (201-F, college: Glenville St.) is a high quality athletic forward who simply has some nice offensive skills with a very high basketball IQ. He can post up around the basket; he can slash and go past slower big men easily and he has a nice mid-range jump shot. Lamar runs the floor very well and is relentless rebounder around the basket. With his skill level I would look for Lamar to end up playing in Luxembourg, Finland or Sweden his first year.
Brad Karp (196-G-91, college: St.Xavier) does not disappoint each and every time you see him as he can score in bunches and defend extremely well. Brad is very athletic and is a very strong player who is always very consistent. Brad can play the 2, 3 and 4 in small leagues such as Luxembourg where he would be perfect. However, he has a very high IQ and could play the 2 and 3 in a league such Finland or Sweden.
James Johnson (196-F, college: Culver Stockton) displayed an impressive three day performance in all aspects of what he did here. He is a good athlete that has a solid 3pt range and a mid-range game as well. James has a nice jump shot from most anywhere on the floor and he can create off the dribble to get space to get of his shot. He also is very athletic, plays solid defense, rebounds well, brings a lot of energy and doesnt get out worked by anyone on the court. He is a swing player that can play in most Scandinavian countries and will have a bright future.
Ebuka Anyaorah (193-G-90, college: N.C.Central) is a high quality two/three who simply has some nice offensive skills with a very high basketball IQ. Ebuka has a nice range than can extend out to the NBA three point line with a nice mid-range game who is also extremely athletic, slashing type player. He runs the floor very well and with his skill level could be an excellent entry level player in smaller European countries to begin his career.
Joel Barndt (206-F, college: Rocky Mountain) is a junk yard dog who always is in the mix around the basket getting put backs, rebounds or steals in the open court. Joel brings a lot of energy to his team and is capable of scoring in many ways. He is a very athletic for his size and will be a great small forward at the next level. Joel has a nice game of slashing to the basket and shooting the perimeter shot all the way out to the NBA 3. Joel is perfect for any quality situation in Sweden, Finland or Holland.
Kevin Phillip (201-F, college: So.Poly State) is a high quality power forward who has some nice offensive skills and is a very hard worker. Kevin can post up around the basket; he can slash and go past slower big men easily and he has a nice mid-range jump shot. Kevin is an excellent rebounder and shot blocker as well and runs the floor hard each and every trip. Kevin was the one of the hardest working guys here in Portsmouth with a great attitude and is very coachable. Look for Kevin in an entry level job overseas next year, perhaps in Luxembourg or Sweden.
