Athletes First-Kristian Doolittle

The biggest question for Athletes First was how they were going to replace Allonzo Trier’s ridiculous production from 2014. Doolittle helped ring in the next chapter of Athletes First, battling his way to one of the most productive sessions statistically in Hampton. The 6-foot-7 Oklahoma-commit can score, rebound, pass and defend at a high level, providing Athletes First one of the most dependable swingmen on the circuit. His ability to implement his efficient floor game does wonders for Jakolby Long and company, as Doolittle does the little things exceptionally well. He has remained relatively under-the-radar up until this point, but with productivity like he had in Hampton, he should at the top of scouting report moving forward.

What DeAndre Ayton's transfer means for Nike,
Under Armour and the sneaker wars

DeAndre Ayton, the top high school prospect in the Class of 2017, on Tuesday announced he is transferring from a private school in San Diego to a prep school in Phoenix. Which also means he’ll be leaving behind his Under Armour gear and suiting up in Nike swag.

The news of Ayton’s transfer set basketball junkies abuzz largely because Ayton, a 7-1 post player from the Bahamas, will be joining Marvin Bagley, who is 6-10 and one of the top prospects in the Class of 2018, at Hillcrest Prep. But those who monitor the sneaker wars quickly noted the other angle.

Under Armour put money into the program at Balboa City School because Ayton was on the roster. [Read More]

Former Athletes First player and Tennessee Star
Josh Richardson Drafted by the Miami Heat

The Miami Heat have selected Josh Richardson with the No. 40 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.

Richardson is a four-year guard from Tennessee who had a breakout senior year, averaging 16 points, five rebounds, four assists and 36 minutes, all career highs. He shot 46 percent from the floor and 36 percent from behind the arc, also a career high, which gives teams hopes he could be a multi-dimensional bench scorer.
