WASHINGTON D.C.

Saturday at the Metro Challenge, a handful of floor generals did a good job of either boosting their stock or proving that they belong amongst the nation's top players at the position. They also showed that there are some guys who can play in the D.C. area.

The highest ranked player of the bunch, Bryant Crawford of Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga hit the floor with a chip on his shoulder. The 6-foot-2 junior said that he wasn't satisfied with how his high school season went and that No. 51 was looking to prove he still belonged as a top tier prospect.

Crawford definitely looked to be fully recovered from last summer's knee injury that hampered him some during the season. He had a little more explosion to his first step, had defenders bouncing off of him on his way to the rim and he was shooting the ball better off the dribble between 15 and 20 feet.

According to Crawford, Indiana, Georgetown and West Virginia -- where he's looking to visit soon -- have been working him the hardest. He also mentioned Louisville and Kansas as teams that were out during the season who plan to watch him this spring and summer.

"I feel like I need to get my name back out there," Crawford told Rivals.com. "Everything that people say I can't do I'm trying to prove that I can do."
