Alonzo Verge Jr Is A Monster Talent!!!!!!!!

Hi, it's been around since I posted but here we go: I went out on Tuesday night to Willowbrook High School to check out 6'2" sophomore Class of 2017 guard Alonzo Verge Jr. They played Proviso East for the West Suburban Gold title. I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Well to say I was impressed is an understatement, the moxie of this kid is off the charts. Now I will say he does shoot a lot and does shoot some bad shots, but he has to shoot for his team to win. Willowbrook has never been any kind of basketball program to speak of: but I will say he does have some good shooters around him. I don't normally do comparisons of players because to me it shows a lack of knowledge of the game of basketball. I will digress this time and say he reminds me of Ryan Boatright in high school at East Aurora. Alonzo is quick, gets in passing lanes for steals, attacks the basket, and can hit shots at all three levels. Granted this is the only time I have seen him play but to me he is in the Top 3 in the Class of 2017 in the State of Illinois no doubt, along with Jeremiah Tillmon of East St Louis and Nojel Eastern of Evanston. This kid is an explosive scorer, also hits shots in clutch situations for his team. Willowbrook has won 20 games for the 1st time since 1972 which is 43 years ago. I am not sure how this team will do in the State Playoffs but they play an exciting brand of basketball for sure. Alonzo is skinny and will have to gain some muscle but he's a sophomore in high school so that will come. Also to me he is having fun out there which is great to see, basically basketball should be a fun sport to play. The only other thing is I think he has to get his release point on his shot just a little higher, also he has to work on getting more space to get his shot off from three point range. I will have to see him more over the next three years to see his progress and do a more comprehensive breakdown. http://libreprensa.com/k/alonzo-verge-jr/5323304#s/6392219 Well that's it on this one, GOD BLESS EVERYONE AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
