Join Miles as he breaks down the amateur tapes of Yassine Gharram, Chikosi Boardi, Jonathan Edet, Alexander Colman and Austen Eisenberg.
- I mean at 11 years old, Icouldn't dribble like this.So I really don't have any words for youexcept that's special.Hey GQ Sports, this is Victor Oladipoand this is "Reel Talent."[upbeat music]Okay first up we have Yassine Gharramand he's a point guard.The first clip we lookingat is his first play.He does a great job ofholding his defender offto receive the ball.He catches it.He already has his mind made upon which direction he's going.He's going away from the defense.If he was to get the balland dribble to the left,he would be right wherenumber four is in black.So he goes to the open space,dribbles right to gethis defender off him.And you wanna where the space is,you don't wanna go where the crowd is.It's almost like the opposite of a party.And he uses the behind the backto kinda stop to slow his defender down.I think the hardestthing to do as a defenderis to stop and go as anoffensive player is playing.Once he gets the defender off balancehe could go left or right here,he chooses to go left.He sees that the other guy steps up.Can tell y'all seeing this,everybody's favoritepoint guard pass first.
