Honeycutt showcases Austin Daye-type skills at Bay Area tourney
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The 7th Annual Patrick Dennehy Memorial Rumble in the Bay didn't have an abundance of talent, but it's always a worthwhile stop on the recruiting circuit. This year's event, like many before it, served as a coming-out party for unknown commodities -- 6-foot-9 junior Eric Hutchinson (Kalama, Wash./ Mark Morris) comes immediately to mind -- and young standouts, like 6-foot freshman Josiah Turner (Rancho Cordova, Calif./ Cordova) who made a lasting impression among scouts and fans alike.
Standout Players
Kevin Panzer (6-8, 190)
Sophomore, San Juan Capistrano, Calif./ Capistrano Valley
I originally listed Panzer under the surprise category, but after a couple of games, I quickly came to the conclusion he was one of the top overall prospects in the event. Panzer is a young thoroughbred who is just beginning to realize his vast potential. He is already one of the most prolific shooters on the West Coast and his passing ability is impressive. He gets his shot off quickly and his release is tight. He still needs to develop his back-to-the-basket game, but with added strength and coaching that should come shortly. Overall, he's a high-major prospect at the 4.
