The final preview for the 17's The final leg of our 17 and under previews takes us out to Memphis. We will preview the Memphis YOMCA, Memphis Warriors and M33M Ballerz.

MEMPHIS YOMCA
Coach: Darryl Lester
Tournaments: Nike Memorial Day, Kingwood Classic, Real Deal on the Hill and many others.
Roster:
Maurice Miller (6-2 PG) Raleigh-Egypt
Kelvin Lester (5-11 PG) Wooddale
Najul Ervin (6-5 WF) Mitchell
Octavious Swarn (6-6 WF) Carver
Caleb Brown (5-11 PG) Raleigh-Egypt
Ken Torry (6-1 SG) Mitchell
Jerry Hampton (6-9 C) BTW
Derrick Grandberry (6-2 SG) Raleigh-Egypt
DeAugust Williams (6-4 PF) Millington
Ben Ransom (6-4 SG) Raleigh-Egypt

Athletic and tough describes this version of the Y. Led by the quintessential point guard and leader Mo Miller these guys will do amazing things on the circuit. They possess a couple of sleepers in Ransom who could be a gem by the end of the summer and Hampton if he puts it all together could be the big man this class is lacking.

MEMPHIS WARRIORS
Coach: Edwin Bell
Roster:
Josh Street (6-8 PF) Craigmont
Desmond Cathey (6-6 PF) Ridgeway
William Green (6-4 SG) Fairley
Myron Strong (5-11 PG) Hamilton
Ryan Donald (6-6 PF) Houston
DeAngelo Bradford (5-11 PG) Fairley
Anthony Wooten (6-4 WF) Ridgeway
Broderick Gilcrest (5-10 SG) Hamilton
Terry Walker (6-5 PF) Mitchell
Martavious White (6-4 WF) Fairley
Edwin Scruggs (6-1 SG) ECS

The first avenue for summer success is phenomenol guards. The Warriors have phenomenol guards. Led by the state championship backcourt of Gilcrest and Strong this team will be one to reckon with this summer. Another player who will fly onto the scene and become a well known commodity this summer will be William Green from Fairley.

M33M Ballerz (Mike Miller Ballerz)
Coach: Marcus Jones and Ernie Kuyper
Tournaments: Real Deal on the Hill, Kingwood Classic, King of the South, Kentucky Hoopfest and others.
Roster:
Jordan Miller (6-3 SG) White Station
Hauns Brereton (6-5 SG) Bartlett
Lewis McCaster (6-5 PF) Mitchell
Kellen Cade (6-2 SG) White Station
Terrico White (6-2 SG) Craigmont
Kaylon Durham (6-4 PF) White Station
Jarvis Jones (5-10 SG) Mitchell
McCauley Williams (6-7 P) MUS
Darryl Neal (6-2 SG) Mitchell
Elliott Williams (6-3 WF) St. George
Eric Buggs (5-10 PG) White Station
Lawrence Bowers (6-5 WF) Elliston Baptist
Derrick Mason (6-4 WF) Ridgeway

The new kid on the block brings a solid mix of 16's and 17's to the fray. M33M is the sponsered squad of Mike Miller from the Memphis Grizzlies and they will cause a stir on the circuit this summer. Led by Jones and a slew of kids from The Station look for this team to play hard and give you that tough city attitude. One of the biggest surprises of the summer should come i the form of 6-5 shooting guard Hauns Brereton. This youngster is causing quite a whisper behind the scenes and is looking forward to showing everyone his game.

This concludes the 17 and under portion. The rosters are subject to change at an alarming rate if necessary, but these should be teams most of these guys will suit up with. I realize there are other squads out there and hopefully I will get the chance to see them so we can get them pub as well.

Next week we will try to bring about the top 16 and 15 year old squads. If you have such a squad and are afraid you may not be mentioned please feel free to private message me on this site and give me some details.
