Benefiting:
Davis, 39 and a former NBA
all-star, had just seen his Georgia Ice team win the national
championship in 2008. Led by his 6-foot-1
do-everything daughter Kaela, they'd beaten a hugely familiar foe --
their fellow Atlanta-based team Georgia Pistons -- 50-34 in the
championship.
Congratulations
AAU National Champions for 2009
Scouting the Ice
Here is a look at the key Georgia Ice players
Alexis Brown (5-7, G, Dr. Phillips HS, FL): Medium build with
good basketball IQ to run offense and still play good defense; nice
form on stroke; possible D-I major with continued maturation. Father
is former NBA player Dee Brown.
MacKenzie Darrah (6-2, F, Buford HS, GA): Medium build with
broad shoulders; knows how to move without the ball; needs to get
significantly stronger; likely at least mid-D-1 with majors possible
with expected maturation; game appears headed to be similar to that
of sister, former Georgia player (and current pro playing in Spain)
Megan Darrah, a tall wing player. Father Tom Darrah, a long
time Atlanta-area coach, is Ice assistant coach.
Kaela Davis (6-2, G/F, Norcross HS, GA): Medium-solid build
with wide shoulders, has high level of basketball understanding and
above-average ball handling ability; able to work her way to the
basket and finish; shooting range needs to improve if the one
viewing was indicative; likely one of the top 2013 class members.
Father, former NBA player Antonio Davis, coaches the team.
Diamond DeShields (6-2, F/G, Norcross HS, GA): Medium build
with great jumping ability; can shoot over opponents or take ball to
the basket; likely one of the top 2013 class members. Father is
former Major League Baseball player Delino DeShields.
Taryn Griffey (5-3, G, 2014, Bridgewater Middle School,
Winter Garden, FL): Thin build with quickness; a grade younger than
rest of team; has ability to run an offense and is willing to play
defense; likely to get Division-1 looks with level based on further
physical development and maturation of game. Father is Major League
Baseball player Ken Griffey, Jr.
Brianna Lakes (5-11, F, Woodstock HS, GA): Muscularly built
power player who plays primarily in the paint; body still maturing
but likely some level of D-1 prospect down the road.
Kristina Nelson (6-3, C, Greater Atlanta Christian School,
GA): Strong build, suited to play in the low post; able to shoot the
ball with either hand around the goal; likely a high D-1 major
prospect. Father Herb Nelson played football as a lineman at
Grambling.
Peyton Whitted (6-2, F, Greater Atlanta Christian, GA):
Medium build; front court player; has not fully grown into her body
so not easy to fully evaluate. Father is former NBA player Kevin
Whitted.
