2027 Cylan McLeod (SC Blazers)
McLeod was really good today. Loved his balance off attacking with speed out in the open floor but also knocking down shots from outside. #PhenomSummerShowcase#PhenomHoops
2027 6`0 Cylan Mcleod (SC blazers) Quick guard with strong shooting ability who stays locked in defensively and consistently makes plays with his activity and effort.

2027 6’0 Cylan McLeod (SC Blazers) put together a productive outing, finishing with 21 points while consistently putting pressure on the defense. The downhill guard attacked the paint with confidence, finished through traffic, and mixed in quality playmaking for teammates. His ability to collapse defenses and create opportunities made him a key contributor. #PhenomSummerShowcase
2027 Cylan McLeod (SC Blazers)
Strong way to finish for the 5'9 shifty guard from SC, going for 30 points for his team. Scored in all variety of ways from outside, off the bounce, displaying quickness to get by defenders, and being aggressive overall. #PhenomMDC
I watched AAU basketball all weekend.
I left with bad news for most players:
Too many are building highlight reels before they’re building winning habits.
The game ends. They lose. And before they’ve watched film or owned what needs to change…
The post is already up.
The highlight clip.
The posed photo.
Everyone wants exposure.
But exposure doesn’t fix bad shot selection.
It doesn’t make you defend.
It doesn’t teach you how to impact winning.
The camera should document the work.
It shouldn’t become the reason for the work.
Honored to be able to share some knowledge in a room full of legendary HS and College coaches. Thank you for allowing me to share some great offensive perspectives we teach at Westwood.
Thank you for having me @NextPlayHoops enjoyed presenting and connecting with coaches!
