In The Spotlight: Shaakir Lindsey

Name: Shaakir Lindsey
AAU Team: Harlem Kings
Position: Point Guard
Class: 2013


Breakdown: If you like small creative guards then Lindsey is your man. He played the role as the little big man this past weekend at the Rebounds Super Regional. Shaakir dazzled defenders with superb ball handling while slicing through the lane like a knife. When the defenders tried to give him room he tickled the twine with pull up jumpers and floaters. What really catches your eye is the strength this kid packs into a small frame.

Sadat Kinley has signed on as PLAYTIME PANTHERS' Trainer.

Sadat Kinley has taken the roll as the trainer for PLAYTIME Basketball. In his roll he will be working, primarily, with our low post players. Sadat brings much to the table. He is just 17 years of age and he has 6 years of AAU experience with NYC Gauchos. He started his basketball career with Teaneck Youth basketball and he has played on the traveling ALLSTAR team since the 4th grade. He has played 1 year Varsity and JV basketball at Paterson Catholic High School, one of New Jersey's power house teams, and as a freshman he played at Paramus Catholic High School. Since then, Sadat has taken a step away from playing basketball and is concentrating of his academics. He returned to Paramus Catholic HS and is now an honor roll student. He has been very instrumental in the growth of our low post players and he has truly helped our program by giving the younger players someone to look up to and identify with.
