Amir Garrett, SF- A lefty as well, Garrett didn't put up double digit points this morning like he did in the previous sessions, but his defense on Ky Madden was outstanding. Garrett could be a quintessential multi-positional lockdown defender with his athleticism and instincts.

At NBA Top 100 camp: http://scouthoops.scout.com/2/978671.html

Class of 2011 small-forward prospect Amir Garrett of Lawndale, Calif., Leuzinger, who has only been offered a basketball scholarship by Arizona thus far, is also competing in the NBAPA Top 100 camp. Garrett, a lefty, is also a baseball phenom who reportedly has a fastball that has been clocked at 95 mph. Garrett told Gary Randazzo of WildcatSportsReport.com two weeks at the Pangos All-American Camp that he is “working on his handles every day.” That means he is making a concerted effort into creating off the dribble. His shooting form is ideal and he should be a potent scorer through further development. He added that he wants to play on the West coast. ASU, UCLA and USC are recruiting Garrett as well but have not pulled the trigger on a scholarship offer perhaps fearing Garrett will be won over immediately by the baseball dollars when he is drafted next year. …

I see the staff is continuing to spread their wings throughout the nation.  I believe this will play off in due time. 

I wonder what AAU team Garrett is playing with, if he is currently playing with anyone at all.

Yet another kid with a connection to Dinos

He played well at Pangos a couple of weeks ago. Depending on the level that he chooses, I think he'll be more of a an athletic, complementary player for a quality program.

Northstar Basketball NBPA reports:

http://blog.northstarbball.com/2010/06/27/nbpa-top-100-camp-cavs--celtics-scouting-reports.aspx

Amir Garrett ’11, SF, Findlay Prep (NV)
Height & Weight: 6’5.5, 189lbs
Wingspan & Reach: 6’10, 8’5.5
PPG & High: 8.0, 13
Garrett, a California native who is transferring to Findlay Prep for his senior year, is also a big-time baseball player. He is an athletic and bouncy player with length on the wing, who can also handle the rock if need be. Garrett might want to bulk up just a bit more, but it is not a necessity just yet. Garrett was another player on the Cavs honored with the Workout Warrior  award.

Amir Garrett 6’6″ 2011 Belmont Shore – Amir Garrett is slowly climbing up the charts as a top prospect on the national scene. His is a pure athlete that handles that can handle the ball like a lead guard.  he showed off his athletic ability it at this camp with getting to the basket with no problem. Garrett still needs to work on his jumper to make it stay consistent because he can knock it down he just needs to be consistent with it.

Best On The West? Amir Garrett Shows Out At Pangos 2010


Looks good but says he wants to stay in the West Coast in this video.  So his family can see him play.

The book is that he's a 6'5" athlete that can score in transition, but can't shoot. When I saw him last month, he lived up to it.

One of the other people that Nieves mentioned, who is a quality 2012 target is 6'8" Grant Jarrett. He was the one whose dad said Lavin didn't burn any bridges out there, but was an opportunist. Jarrett has offers from almost everybody on the West Coast.

I saw 6'2" Gabe York last week. He played well and hit some clutch shots, but Nieves is naive or parochial in thinking that "York has the ability to contend for the No 1 spot among the shooting guards in his class on not just a west coast level but on a national level as well." Brad Beal and Austin Rivers would eat him alive.

F Amir Garrett (Belmont Shore, 2011) Another wing who showed off the ability to run the floor and finish above the rim. Garrett is slight of build right now, and getting stronger will likely be a focal point in his senior year. Amir also needs to work on his perimeter jumper, as opponents at the next level could be content to sag and let the slasher fire away from the perimeter. He and Texas verbal DeAndre Daniels made California Supreme pay on a number of occasions.

Amir Garrett, SF, Belmont Shore- A year ago, Garrett played almost like an undersized four man. Now, the 6-foot-5 wing is a dangerous small forward who could be on his way to becoming a two guard. He's super athletic, quick to the rim, has improved his handle and can make some jumpers. Defensively, he's one of the best in the class because of his superior lateral quickness.

Amir Garrett (Belmont Shores, 2011)- One of the more versatile and athletic wings in the class, Garrett continues to impress. He is terrific in transition, and he looked good shooting the ball Tuesday. Defensively, he has the tools to be a multi-positional stopper.

Also a standout pitcher, Garrett wants to play basketball and baseball in college. He is presently listing offers from St. John's, Oregon, UTEP, San Jose State, San Diego State, Arizona and Arizona State. He is also hearing from Georgetown and UNLV.

This is some great praise:

http://www.zagsblog.com/2010/08/04/amir-garrett-planning-visits/

Garrett visited St. John’s in June and Goren said Steve Lavin’s staff is in good position.

“I’d say what Lavin presents to the situation is someone who understands players, having coached at UCLA. [Assistant coach] Rico Hines known as one of the best player-developers in the country. Mike Dunlap is known as a Norm Chow of basketball.

“And with nine scholarships [maybe 10], he’s bringing in his own players.”

RE-SPECT.  People really get that the staff has some stars on it.

Exactly, peter!  IMO, it's only a matter of time before one of blue-chipper kids commit and then things could very, well take off.

Garrett's play has seem to improve throughout the summer and a quality staff such, as the Johnnies can expand his game. 

I'm tempering my enthusiasm, but I'm ready for one of these blue-chipper kids to commit.

NN knows him well and must be hearing the same thing from Dinos, who runs Belmont, and/or Etop. Trigonis' relationship w/ Lavin has really helped with a lot of these 2011 kids.
Trust Neal.
