USA GBL - Team Gulf at #6

Alabama - Mississippi - Arkansas - Louisiana

Population: 15.5 Million

Coach Percy Miller

#6 -  The #6 ranked team in the GBL Top Ten could very well be seen as another upset-pick, but regardless, Team Gulf gets the nod..  Team Gulf will rest it's fortune with the highly-touted trio of Archie Goodwin, Ricardo Gathers, and Devonte Pollard.  Goodwin is a star and one of the top three guards/wings in the country along with Rodney Purvis and Shabazz Muhammad.  Devonte Pollard is a do-it-all SF who makes plays all over the court.  Ricardo Gathers is an undersized, pit-bull 4-man who reminds of Kenyon Martin.  Miss. St.-bound Gavin Ware will man the middle for Team Gulf and will be backed up by young big man Moses Kingsley out of New Albany, Georgia.  By themselves, these two would not necessarily be considered among the GBL's best at the position, but next to forwards Pollard and Gathers, they wont really need any scoring out of the position, so we expect that the Ware/Kingsley combination will end up grading out well.  The PG position is definitely the position with the most question marks.  Team Gulf will go with the combination of Alabama's Deondre Haynes, Louisiana's Malik Morgan, and Miss St.-commit Craig Sword, three solid guards who will have an opportunity to prove themselves against some of the top-rated guards in America.  If they can hold their own, Team Gulf should be a team in contention.  The other wildcard for Team Gulf is their depth behind their Big-3.  Swing man Twymond Howard figures to be good as a 6th man, but after that, Team Gulf will wait and see with Freshman Craig Victor, and Juniors Daryl Milburn and Jalon Jackson.
