2018 guard Tavares Oliver was absolutely superb at the Level Up Elite 80 Showcase. Hit the jump for highlights of the sharpshooting junior out of New Haven High School.
Tavares was among the top 5 performers for the day. He was able to connect on multiple step-back threes after creating space off the dribble in impressive fashion. His ability to stop on a dime and raise up is very special. Camp settings are custom made for prospects like Oliver, speedy guards that simply thrive in space. Tavares was perhaps the fastest player with the ball in attendance at the showcase.
Once he gained a step on his defender and turned on the jets the rotations simply couldn’t come fast enough to stop him from converting. There were numerous possessions where Oliver was bringing the ball up the court and once his defender stepped up he blew right past all the way to the rim for layups. He also made it to the semi-finals of the three point shootout where he showed a beautiful stroke off the catch with nice arch and good rotation. See below for highlights.
