Hoops City Highlights

Kylan Phillips was a major cog in the Mitchell High basketball machine. Flanked by two team mates that were prolific scorers, Phillips job was to set them up. As the son of a coach, Phillips has the ability to see the game from another perspective. His basketball IQ is off the charts. Kylan is also a pest on the defensive end. He's the type of aggravating defender that gets under the ball handler and causes turn-overs. This past season, Kylan helped led Memphis Mitchell to the Class A Tennessee State Championship during his junior campaign. Watch out for Kylan Phillips this Summer with the Memphis Hoopers

Check out some clips of Memphis Mitchell/ Team Thad's Naba Echols. Echols is what I call a "pure point guard". There is no doubt that he can run a team at the next level. Even though he's a small guard, Naba is fearless and is a defensive ball hawk. His basketball IQ is off the charts and he often makes the right basketball play. Echols is also a winner; he has been a champion at every level he's played on thus far. Catch up with Naba during the summer with Team Thad's 17u.

I did a video highlight of Jeremiah Martin, 2015 Combo Guard from Memphis Mitchell High, a month ago. Recently, I came across some game film from Mitchell High's 2013-14 Tennessee Class A State Tournament Championship season. After breaking down most of the game film, I discovered that Jeremiah, mostly known for his ability to catch and shoot, is a beast at playing the passing lane and collecting steals. He also has the ability to create for himself and teammates. Watch out for Jeremiah Martin on the Under Armour Summer circuit playing for Memphis Team Thad.
