Tim Chialastri of Capitol Hoops has a report from the DC Assault Take Your Best Shot’s Showcase. In case you didn’t know, DC Assault is an AAU team, so this was a showcase where AAU teams squared off against each other.

Chialastri reports on Class of 2011 prospect Juan’ya Green, a guard who is on Villanova’s radar. From the report, it sounds like the Philly product had a superb effort.

“The Philly bred point guard was dynamic this weekend scoring in a barrage of different manners. Green put up 26pts on day two and showed why the likes of Villlanova, Maryland, Pittsburgh, Temple and Syracuse are all after the 2011 guard from Archbishop Carroll HS in Philadelphia.”

I could be wrong, but I think the classification of Green as a point guard is wrong. I’ve heard he is more of an off-the-ball player, but if he can handle the ball, all the better. Green is a kid that is from Radnor, so he’s very familiar with Villanova. Right now it may be a bit early to think about who we might land in for his class, but he is definitely a kid to keep an eye on.

If Jay offers him a written scholarship, he’s coming to Villanova.

Yeah I definitely agree with that. I’m not one to really speculate on how many scholarships are available since we are still a couple of years away from that class, but it’s safe to say that guys like Michael Gilchrist and Trevor Cooney are higher on the board right now.

I played against him in a tournament last year, and he was amazing! He dominated us and he did bring the ball up, although not all the time. He would often grab a rebound and just go coast to coast uncontested.

Related to Dionte? Brother? Cousin?

I’ve heard he has a lot of hype right now, but might have to prove it a bit more on the court to back up an early lofty ranking.

No relation to Dionte. I ready NovaNation today and we have a 0% to slim chance for Christmas, so better yet don’t add him =[
