Easter II Dominates at USA Trials Alongside Boozer Twins; Readies for Movie Debut in LeBron James Film

Easter Does Work at USA Trials with Boozer Twins; Garners Role Acting in LeBron James New Movie in 2023
Jerry Easter II, one of the top players in the sophomore class, will be headed to Colorado Springs to play for Team USA and to a movie screen near you as he readies for the hoop season.
Easter was invited to the USA Tryouts with his class for the chance to represent his country as one the very best youth players in the world. And make no mistakes, he put on a show all weekend with the Boozer twins.
While Easter has had to grind to get to this position, he is thankful for the opportunity and best believe he will be ready to go once the tryout begins. It seems as if Easter has gotten stronger, quicker and his bounce and intelligence on the court is rapidly improving.
At a private workout in Columbus recently, we got a chance to see Easter play as Jerry Watson, Coach Quincy Simpson, and some other notable people were in the gym.
While he was cruising early, once he hit the switch, there really was no stopping him, which it has been like since the 8th grade.
When watching him, you can see the next Penny Hardaway, mixed with a little bit of a Jimmy Jackson. And it isn't that were blinded by his dopeness, because over 30 D-1 colleges have either offered, or are planning to offer, including Ohio State, UCLA, Cincinnati, Memphis (Coached by Penny Hardaway), Syracuse, and others.
Now Easter will get to play with the best in his class, in what will be an interesting dynamic for the sophomore sensation.
He's been fighting to show he's the best, destroying players in the class. Now he will get to lead the troops.
While he still has defencies in his game, it's hard to not see the NBA potential with Easter.
A kid who can see the floor better than most guards, yet will dunk on you from the PG spot, and can take you on the block and punish you with his physicality and post game. His build is more of the Jimmy Jackson mold than Penny Hardaway, which makes him imposing on the court. He has a real work ethic, and boxes in his spare time to stay in shape and to get stronger.
Oh yeah, and he gets straight A's in school. Don't forget about that. Straight A's.
He also will be in the next big basketball movie featuring the LeBron James story, which will be out next year for everyone to see. And his dad will make his acting debut as well.
And don't forget that Mrs Trena Easter (his mom) played for the Michigan Wolverines, so the game is all in his bloodlines.
"I'm excited to see how I did in the movie. To play in Lebron James' movie? I'm honored." Easter said after a workout in Columbus.
Some reports have said Easter is in a few different scenes, which Easter is thrilled about. Easter will be playing with Oak Hill Academy in the movie, so remember that part.
James shot a major portion of the movie in the Akron area, but it is not determined if he shot the entire film in Ohio.
Regardless, expect to see Easter helping to bring the USA a gold medal alongside Boozer and the rest of the talented 2025 class, then take his talents back to school to lead Emmanuel Christian to a possible OHSAA state berth this season.
And also expect Easter to be ranked in the top 10 in his class after this weekend, no matter how inaccurate the ESPN HS rankings say.
He is that guy.
Ask anybody who has watched him play against elite ballers.
Look for Heeere's Jerry, a new Web / TV Series featuring Easter and his amazing story to get to this point, along with the day to day grind of being a elite baller in Ohio during this season.
