Gio Nannucci helps lead Basketpoint USA to a 16U Red championship as they defeat Team Up Elite.

Rock Hill, SCBig Shots Nationals was an exceptional event held at the Rock Hill Sports & Event Center. It was filled with breakout performances from up and coming stars, as well as some of the top teams & high level talent. College coaches were in attendance as they packed the gyms to find their next recruit.

Gio Nanucci was spectacular for Basketpoint USA on their run to win the 16U Red title. He was named Instat MVP after scoring 22 points in the title game against Team Up Elite. Nanucci played at an elite level offensively, scoring the ball at will. In the semifinal game he dropped 29 points to lead his team to the title game. The 6'4 wing can score the ball on all three levels. He led the entire division in scoring with 23 ppg. 

Corey Boulden & Nathan Coleman of West Virginia Reign Elite were one of the best duo's in the division. These two were tough to stop as each of them had it going offensively. They both averaged 19.8 ppg and did it in multiple ways. Boulden is a true shooting guard standing at 6'3, while Coleman is a 6'5 small forward. Both players are ones to watch in the class of 2023.
