William Richardson
The Basketball Spotlight Tip Off Classic 8th Grade Division was loaded top to bottom. Here’s our final look at our top performers.
Basketball Spotlight Tip Off Classic 8th Grade Top Performers Part 4
William Richardson Guard (NJ Playaz)- Richardson has been making a big name in other events and now he wanted to show and prove at The Spotlight. The point guard is lightning quick and gets from end to end in a blur. When you lay off Richardson he can hit the long 3-ball even when the defense closes out. He’s off to a great start for his 8th Grade season. Desean Lecque Guard (NJ Playaz)- Richardson’s backcourt mate Lecque is another player that’s emerging this season. He attacks the basket from the wing position and has enough in his arsenal to get buckets against anyone. His motor is top notched therefore the coach never has to wonder if he’s going to play hard. His older brother Jalen was also a late bloomer now he’s ranked as one of the best players in America. Max Regusa Guard (NY Jayhawks)- Regusa opened his game up at the Tip Off Classic. Known as a floor general he unleashed his outside shot which has good range and excellent rotation. Once the defense bit he showed off his drive, draw and dish game. This kid showed some excellent court vision. Malik Bowman Forward (6th Man Warriors)- The 7th Grader wasn’t bothered by playing up against the competition. He displayed supreme versatility and the ability to finish through contact. He looked like he belonged on this stage against this competition. Bowman is definitely something to watch.Michael Moore Forward (PSA Cardinals)- Throughout their existence, PSA Cardinals formerly Team Scan has been known to put out big time forwards. We not saying Moore is big time yet but his best basketball is down the road. The long, lanky forward is a capable rebounder and rim protector. We will watch him closely this year as he gets his offensive package together on the blocks. Richard Nweke Forward (PSA Cardinals)- Nweke is in the same boat as Moore. He’s still a little raw offensively but will hit the glass hard and bang on you off the vertical leap. Right now he’s still a plus on the defensive end by disrupting shots inside and clogging the lane against driving guards. Asim Jones Guard (Hoop Kingz)- Jones brought his game to the Spotlight. He broke down the defense with a nice handle and ratchet from behind the arc and finishing in traffic. His team didn’t perform as well but James made sure he caught our attention.Tarique Foster Forward (Wiz Kids)- Foster is a sleek wing forward with a high basketball IQ that understands floor balance and spacing. His tremendous length and wingspan he could develop into a great defensive stopper. Keep an eye on this kid.
Brandon Perez Forward (Wiz Kids)- It seemed like every time I look up Perez was finishing over someone from the wing. The athletic forward that finishes with power above size and he rebounds well for his position. Finally, he also has the ability to create his own shot and space off the bounce. Tahaad Pettiford Guard (Jersey City Boys Club)- Pettiford played up and stepped up big. The southpaw proved he could score from anywhere and dance around defenders. He displays the JC toughness their guards are known for like Hurley, Dehere and Ingram. It’s always a joy to watch him rock.

Jaden Bradley
Our next Diary Of A Baller takes us to North Carolina where 6’4 guard Jaden Bradley is rated as the #1 8th Grader in America. Last summer Bradley led the CP3 All Stars to the 13U AAU National Championship. He also was named the MVP of the Basketball Spotlight Future Phenom Camp after a dominating performance. Basketball Spotlight world let’s welcome Jaden as he gives us a look into his life for the next eight weeks.
Good Morning Basketball Spotlight World,
I’m Jaden Bradley from Concord, NC and first I would like to thank Basketball Spotlight for giving me the opportunity to do Diary Of A Baller. Here’s how my week went. Monday, I started with an early morning workout at 6 am before I grabbed a shower and breakfast. It is a different kind of week for me, I have a band concert tonight. I play the baritone saxophone in my Middle School band, I am a little nervous because this is my first time playing this instrument and I have a solo. I hope I don’t mess up, it’s going to be a long day. Concert time, I’m on time and I’m ready.
Tuesday was game day! Like every game day, I woke up excited and ready for the game. I have to take care of business first though, let’s get these classes done. I hope I don’t have too much homework. Anyway, I turned my music on and got ready for school. We had a good game and are undefeated so far. Since I didn’t have much homework, I had the chance to go watch some high school basketball, Rocky Rover versus Butler. It was an exciting game! I’m super tired now and I’m looking forward to a shower and some sleep.
Wednesday, I started with an early morning workout at 6 am and showered up for school. Today is Family Day, it is only a half day. I love Family Day since we don’t usually have homework. My mom picked me up and we went to grab some lunch at Chick Fil a. Once I got home, I watched a little TV and I had to get ready to go meet my trainer. I took a nap on the way there so I could be fresh. After my workout, I am feeling ready to have another good game tomorrow. Around 7, I sat with my parents to watch my older brother’s college basketball game. Before long it was time to get ready for the next day, I’m tired now anyway so I think I’ll go to bed early.
Thursday was once again Game Day! I jumped up to get ready for school because I had a math test that I had been studying hard for. The test was hard, but I think I did pretty well. My team faced a pretty tough opponent today, but we pulled out another win. All my teammates are getting involved and the gym was pretty loud today.
Friday, I came home I had to get ready for CP3 camp registration. It’s going to be a pretty long weekend, but I’m ready for it. I have to be up and in the gym by 8 o’clock in the morning. We will do a lot of drill work and play some games. We did not get done until 8 o’clock that night so I know I will be tired. I finished the camp with 25 points per game and on the All Star team and the win.
See You Guys Next Week.
