SOUTHERN KINGS REIGN AGAIN
It is starting to feel like Groundhog Day for the Southern Kings. The 15 and under team played up a division this weekend at the Prather and took care of business in the 16 and under bracket. The kids from the north side of Atlanta took home the trophy and made it look easy in the process.
Led by Dai-Jon Parker's 28 points in a blowout win over the Atlanta Celtics, the Southern Kings once again reigned supreme.
Parker, a 6-foot-3 guard from the class of 2011, just continues to shine on the big stage. The Marietta (Ga.) High School product mixes his athleticism and perimeter game beautifully. When he gets hot from the perimeter, he's a handful because his game opens up and he knows when to go straight to the basket for points.
It wasn't all Parker though. Anyone can be the go-to guy. That's the beauty of the Kings team. The team had important contributions from Algie Key and Brandon Hayman. The two combined for 26 points and both players picked their spots to show their worth. Key is a physical and athletic wing while Hayman can play both guard positions.
Julian Royal, one of the top big men in the class of 2011, scored 12 points. In the semi-finals, he was a major mismatch problem. His game is inside-out and at the younger division, he's a headache to deal with because of his flexibility on the offensive end of the floor.
If point guards are graded by wins and losses, Shannon Scott of the Southern Kings certainly has an A from his spring report card. The class of 2011 floor general has been as steady as any point guard in his class this spring. The Southern Kings, a 15 and under team, is playing up in the 16 and under division at the Prather.

After seeing Dai-Jon Parker last month at the Columbus Riverfest, we had an idea on how good he is and how good he will be. We didn't think he'd be this good this fast. Parker scored an impressive 27 points in a tough loss to the Spiece Gym Rats in the 15 and under semi-finals. Parker, a 6-foot-3 guard from Marietta (Ga.) High School, is a perimeter threat with big-time athleticism to boot. He's a high-major kid in the 2011 class.
Teammate Julian Royal received the most notoriety of any freshman in Georgia this season after a strong season at Milton (Ga.) High School. On Sunday morning, the 6-foot-7 forward went to work inside and out. He was good on the glass and stepped out to hit a couple of three-pointers.
Because he's only in eighth grade and because he'll be mentioned on this site at least one hundred times by the time he graduates high school, we'll be brief about one Tony Parker. But keep the 6-foot-8 forward on your mind for stars of the future from the class of 2012. The Georgia big man has a post game that some class of 2009 big men are striving for. Parker shined for the King James Shooting Stars South this weekend in the 14U division.
