Hooprootz Player Spotlight: Isaac Hester
New Jersey native Isaac "Nana" Hester made his most recent appearence in New England this past weekend, as he led his New Heights 14u squad to a BasketBull Junior Hoophall championship. While spending the winter playing for 14u as well as his middle school team, Hester will spend the spring and summer playing up at the 15u level. A prolific shotmaker, Nana has the ability to stretch the defense as well as put the ball on the deck and take it to the hole. Known for attracting primarily New England prospects, we look forward to welcoming Nana on March 15th. More information on Junior Elite 75 can be found on our home page under "Upcoming Events"
