No authors note today. Too lazy.

"THOSE FUCKING KIDS" Was heard around the neighborhood. Denise just knew they were at that stupid summer circuit

Same time, Los Angeles Lakers Facility

The kids gathered in the facility and were told to sit on the bleachers. In walked in a familiar face. Ray Allen in his heat jersey. Some of the spurs fans scowled but the Miami fans jumped for joy.

"Good morning and welcome to the DBAs main practice facility. I'm Ray Allen the owner of the DBA. Today since we have 4 teams ready to draft and 5 rounds of drafting we only need 20 players. As you read in the article the games are 4v4 to 21 points. Meaning since we do 4v4s... Three of you gotta go. Now go to the locker rooms and get dressed in basketball attire.

10 minutes later

The kids walked out of the locker rooms to see Ray standing with 4 men.

"These boys and girls are scouts. They will be monitoring your game. They will be present during the activity we are going to do and during the prospect showcase afterwards. Now for the activity we will have 3 rounds of basketball related competitions. The first one will be a speed trial. We will have a race and the last person will be kicked out of the DBA. People smirked specifically Nick, Ja, and TeShaun. Quinn and Jordan seemed happy at such and easy test.

As the race started Nick, Ja, and TeShaun finished easily in a 3 way tie. A short boy by the name of Antwan Campbell who the trio and TeShaun recognized from the Wall tournament finished 4th. In 5th place came a Tall kid about 6'6 250 and about 16 years of age. Quinn recognized him as Will Chamberlain the grandson of Wilt Chamberlain and son of oscar Robertson and WNBA creator Latifa Herley. With that lineage in his blood he was destined for greatness. Tied for 6th was Jordan and Quinn. 8th place was another boy from the Wall tournament Shea Carroll. Despite his big frame he was pretty fast. In 9th came in a known prospect. A D1 player named Otis Kent(Love u O8K) He was wearing the #8 Kobe jersey. #10 was a tall guy named Klein Tyson. A D2 Highschool player who people are calling the next Dirk. #11 was a surprise. A D4 High school player by the name Isaac Benton. He was pretty much an all around player from what James Howard told the trio about him. a couple no names came in and the loser was some fat kid named Kyle.(JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA)

"Ok good work boys and girls. The next challenge will be a three point shootout" The three who smirked at the race gulped at the three point contest. Needless to say none of them have ever won a game of horse.

The three winners of the race each got 2/15. They just prayed somebody got lower then that. Antwan Campbell wwent next and shot a perfect 15/15. Will went next and put up 10/15. The three race winner s started to get nervous. Jordan went up and knocked down 13/15 as Quinn did the same.

'Lanky Bum' The three winners thought. Shea Carroll came in and somehow shot 2/15. He wwas on the hotseat now as well. Chris Paul Baker came in and shot 4/15. And was safe. Otis came in and shot 14/15 easily. Klein Tydon stepped up to the plate and drained 12/15. Isaac Benton then dropped 8/15. Eventually they got to the last person. No one had gotten under a 2 and the 4 eople who go t 2 were shitting thenselves. Then in a stroke of luck. A girl by the name of Toni Pierce who 5 people remembered as the dyke from the Wall tournament. She completely bombed it going 0/15 meaning she would go home. As she walked out she winked at Jordan making her shiver

"Quinn that dyke winked at me" Jordan said. Quinn held his laugh in as Ray started to explain the last challenge

"And the last challenge is... You have to score on me" Ray said. The players were shocked. This was their first time facing nba talent. Quinn volunteered to go first getting surprised looks from everybody. He got the ball did a spinaround ray and stepped back causing Ray to fall. As the old man fell Quinn stared down ray before he drained the three. The entire room was silent. Until Nick yelled "OHHHHHHHHH. HE CROSSED THAT OLD ASS NIGGA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHA. GET THIS MAN A CANE" Everybody started to follow suit including TeShaun. Seeing an NBA player get crossed by a 14 year old was epic

"Ok you had your fun. Quinn Gillette. You pass" Ray said as he got up quieting the teens.

Quinn smirked before walking back to his seat. He saw the scouts furiously writing on their notepads. Jordan volunteered to go next. She didn't make Ray fall even though she was very capable of doing so. She decided to make him stumble a bit before breezing past for the easy layup.

After that pretty much everyone started to score on Ray. It was apparent to soome of the smarter players that Ray really wasn't trying. The only person who couldn't score on Ray was some kid with big ass hands named Ibrahim. Ray decided to let him stay because he tried hard. Instead kicking out some no name who took a long ass time to score on Ray.

"Now finally for the prospect showcase" Ray started. People gulped. This was the real deal "Firstly I will pick the 4 best performing players of the 3 challenges. Quinn Gillette. Jordan Gillette. TeShaun Jordan. And Jonathan Jackson Jr. You are the team captains. You will pick 4 players each. Speaking of. Everyone whos not a team captain write down your Names and Position" Ray hands a piece of paper to Nick and they all start writing down their info. Quinn got first pick and made the obvious choice of drafting Nick Howard. Jordan went ahead and drafted Will Chamberlain. TeShaun made a questionable decision and drafted Jason Kim. A 7'3 17 Year old who hadn't shown any talent except height. Jonathan went and drafted a girl by the name of Jessica Simmons(ILY Cla$$y) A PG who is a crafty ball handler who can shoot from everywhere. Quinn decided to draft a guy named Jae Rawings. He was a dude who looked like he just became one. If you get my drift. But he was athletic as hell. A D2 player who drew comparisons to Anthony Davis. TeShaun went ahead and Drafted Otis Kent. A scorer with no other abilities. But perfect for TeShauns plan for his team. Jordan went and drafted Adrian Anthony. A guy who didn't showout in the dba tryouts but hes a nice post player from what Jordan saw in the Wall tournament. Ja who's a SF drafts Antwan Campbell. A sharpshooting SG with some speed that helps him when getting open. Quinn decided to draft some guy named Fat Freak. HHe wondered who would name their r child that but still picked him up. TeShaun drafted a girl named Elise Braun. A sharpshooter with some attacking abilities. Jordan drafted a Girl named Allana Roy. A SG with some insane hops. And Ja drafted the only available player. Some guy named Jalen Bowen. A skinny sharpshooter. A D2 talent.

Ok the Matchups are Team Quinn vs Team Jordan and Team TeShaun vs Team Jonathan. The winners of the matches will face each other and the losers will face each other.

(Im still terrible with game scenes so I'm just gonna recap them)

Scout #1: I like TeShaun and Jonathans selections. They know their weaknesses and drafted people to mask it

Scout #2: Yea I also Like the Twins picks. Quinns athleticism based team allows him draw defenders with his shooting which would be an easy 2 points

Scout #3: Jordan seems to like crafty players. I can tell she likes people who can fool you with their play. Kind of unguardable if you ask me

Scout #4: You all are right. Lets see how these games playout

Team Quinn vs Team Jordan Recap: Quinn guarding Jordan was very clutch. Nick was able to lockdown Allana. Even though he let her get in the post multiple times. For obvious reasons. Jae and Freak do well against Adrian and Will and vice versa. But the backcourt matchup gives Team Quinn wins 21-18

Team TeShaun vs Team Ja Recap: While Ja's plan to get easy shots because of double teams worked O8K went to town on Antwan Campbell and TeShauns playmaking caught people off guard. Team TeShaun wins 22-14

In the losers side Team Jordan really goes ham on Team Ja. Ja gets lolcked up by Will and the craftiness of Jordans team beats out Ja's defense lacking team.

And in the winners side: Quinn vs TeShaun is a stalemate due to talent. Nick and Otis Kent stalemate as Nick wastes all his energy having to to guard Otis Kent and Jason Kim and Fat Freak even themselves out due to height not being a factor and them having no other talents besides that. The battle then relied oon the shoulders of Elise Braun and jae Rawings. The score was 19-19 next score won the game. Quinn stole a botched pass and had an easy lane to the basket.

BLOCK.

But TeShaun Jordan somehow runs all the way back to get the clutch chase down block. He grabs the ball and throws a fullcourt pass to Elise for the easy layup. As Team TeShaun wins the tournament 21-19

Longest chapter so far. Thay final piece is pretty much my best attempt at creating a game scene. Review. Feedback helps
