SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Five players who stood out Saturday at the 2017 Spalding Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass.
The day started with a triple-double from Naz Reid of Roselle (N.J.) Catholic. You can reach about that here so he is not on this list.
Charles O’Bannon, Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas)
O’Bannon, the 6-5 shooting guard who is committed to USC, had 27 points and filled the box score with five steals, three assists and three rebounds in a losing effort against DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.).
He showed his athleticism with a number of smooth moves to get to the basket and a few highlight-reel dunks.

Jahvon Quinerly, Hudson Catholic (Jersey City, N.J.)
Quinerly had 25 points, five rebounds and four assists to win game MVP honors in a 62-53 victory against St. Anthony (San Antonio).
The 6-1 point guard is ranked as No. 5 at his position, No. 3 in New Jersey and No. 28 overall in the Class of 2018 by the 247Sports Composite rankings.
He has 20 reported offers, with Arizona, Villanova, Kansas and Virginia among them.
Charles Bassey, St. Anthony (San Antonio)
The 6-11 Bassey, who is ranked as the No. 2 player in the Class of 2019, showed why with 17 points, 14 rebounds, five blocks and four steals in a loss to Roselle Catholic.
Bassey remains a raw prospect, but his instincts and athleticism often take over.
