Rivals.com Recap on Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions
by justin young (rivals.com) posted 05/26/2008

Shannon Scott, a point guard from the talented Southern Kings team out of Atlanta, is on the campus of his father's alma mater this week. Pops (Charlie Scott) was pretty good during his time in Chapel Hill and the younger Scott is doing pretty well for himself, too. Scott is one to watch in 2011 and Georgia, Auburn, Florida and Xavier already are, he said.

Also, congratulations to the entire Southern Kings team on beating the NY Gauchos in the 15U Select Championship Game.

Rivals.com Recap on Wallace Prather Top 2011 Performers
by justin young (rivals.com) posted 05/14/2008

Prather Top 2011 Performers
LaQuinton Ross, MBA Elite 17
You could argue that Ross was the best overall player in the tournament from start to finish regardless of what class he is in. He was constantly scoring 25-plus points and looked nearly flawless doing it.
Ross has a little Tracy McGrady, a little Devin Ebanks and a little Rudy Gay to his game. That's not a bad trio to be mentioned with. Ross earned those kinds of marks after his play in Atlanta in the oldest division.
Dai-Jon Parker, Southern Kings 16
Outside of Ross, Parker was the best player we saw in Atlanta over the weekend in his class. The 6-foot-3 scoring guard continues on his scoring tear this spring. He's a great athlete and calling him a great shooter isn't out of the question either.
Parker is a no-brainer high-major prospect and has been one of the top at his position so far. The rookie can go for efficient 30 points in any game he plays in.
Julian Royal, Southern Kings 16
He seemed to play with a little more power in the game we caught of him and was one of the best true big men in the 16 and under division. The 6-foot-7 forward can burn teams inside and out.
Royal has shown a consistent ability to knock down the face-up jumper and even pop out to knock down the three ball. His aggressiveness in the post could be the part of his game that truly separates himself in the class of 2011.
Shannon Scott, Southern Kings 16
The 6-foot-2 point guard glued it all together for the 16 and under champions over the weekend. He fed the post and put Royal into good position to score on the low blocks. When he wasn't pounding it inside, Scott dished it out to Parker for the score on the wing.
Scott is a solid defender to boot. Overall, he played like a point guard that understands the value of being a cohesive unit. The result was the trophy. Not bad for a team playing up an age group.

 
Rivals.com Recap Wallace Prather Memorial

SOUTHERN KINGS REIGN AGAIN

It is starting to feel like Groundhog Day for the Southern Kings. The 15 and under team played up a division this weekend at the Prather and took care of business in the 16 and under bracket. The kids from the north side of Atlanta took home the trophy and made it look easy in the process.

Led by Dai-Jon Parker's 28 points in a blowout win over the Atlanta Celtics, the Southern Kings once again reigned supreme.

Parker, a 6-foot-3 guard from the class of 2011, just continues to shine on the big stage. The Marietta (Ga.) High School product mixes his athleticism and perimeter game beautifully. When he gets hot from the perimeter, he's a handful because his game opens up and he knows when to go straight to the basket for points.

It wasn't all Parker though. Anyone can be the go-to guy. That's the beauty of the Kings team. The team had important contributions from Algie Key and Brandon Hayman. The two combined for 26 points and both players picked their spots to show their worth. Key is a physical and athletic wing while Hayman can play both guard positions.

Julian Royal, one of the top big men in the class of 2011, scored 12 points. In the semi-finals, he was a major mismatch problem. His game is inside-out and at the younger division, he's a headache to deal with because of his flexibility on the offensive end of the floor.

If point guards are graded by wins and losses, Shannon Scott of the Southern Kings certainly has an A from his spring report card. The class of 2011 floor general has been as steady as any point guard in his class this spring. The Southern Kings, a 15 and under team, is playing up in the 16 and under division at the Prather.

 
Rivals.com Recaps Real Deal on the Hill Tournament
by justin young (rivals.com) posted 04/21/2008

After seeing Dai-Jon Parker last month at the Columbus Riverfest, we had an idea on how good he is and how good he will be. We didn't think he'd be this good this fast. Parker scored an impressive 27 points in a tough loss to the Spiece Gym Rats in the 15 and under semi-finals. Parker, a 6-foot-3 guard from Marietta (Ga.) High School, is a perimeter threat with big-time athleticism to boot. He's a high-major kid in the 2011 class.

Teammate Julian Royal received the most notoriety of any freshman in Georgia this season after a strong season at Milton (Ga.) High School. On Sunday morning, the 6-foot-7 forward went to work inside and out. He was good on the glass and stepped out to hit a couple of three-pointers.

Because he's only in eighth grade and because he'll be mentioned on this site at least one hundred times by the time he graduates high school, we'll be brief about one Tony Parker. But keep the 6-foot-8 forward on your mind for stars of the future from the class of 2012. The Georgia big man has a post game that some class of 2009 big men are striving for. Parker shined for the King James Shooting Stars South this weekend in the 14U division.
