The Augusta, Ga., area has two events going on at same time, and there is even a third about 30 minutes away in Aiken, S.C., called the Peach State Summer Showcase, which Team John Wall is in.
The Peach Invitational Tournament is for the teams that didn't qualify for the Nike Peach Jam (24 make it to NPJ). Indiana has some key targets in that event, and I'll be spending Thursday morning watching four games over there before going to Peach Jam in North Augusta, S.C. to watch two 16s contest in the afternoon and then three 17s games tonight. Between the two events, here are some of the targets I'll be watching today.
