Peck Showcases Perimeter Skills in City-County All-Star Game

On Saturday at the Eric Gordon Super Shootout City-County All-Star Game, Cornell recruit, 6'6" Errick Peck teamed up with two of his high school teammates from Cathedral High School, Kelsey Barlow (Purdue commitment) and Jordan Hamilton (uncommitted) to lead the City All Stars to a dominating 128-77 win. Peck told the Indianapolis Star, "I'm going to miss playing with them a lot. I've been playing with them the last eight or nine years, so it was a lot of fun to get out there again."

The Indy Star noted that Peck, who was selected to the Indianapolis Star Indiana All-Star team, showed a much different game than during the high school season, when he played primarily around the basket. Most of his points Saturday in the All-Star game came either driving to the basket or from the perimeter.

"A lot of college coaches said my flaw was handling the ball and shooting from the perimeter," said Peck, who hit four 3-pointers. "That's all I've been working on from the end of the season to now. I'm going to get better as it goes, but (Saturday) I was feeling it pretty good."

Peck won the All-Star game's slam dunk contest.

In case you are keeping count... Peck was invited to four All-Star games this season. In addition to yesterday's Eric Gordon Super Shootout City-County All-Star Game, he was also invited to play in last week's Andre Owens vs. George Hill City-County game. Peck also played in the Indiana North-South All-Star game and is scheduled to play with the Indiana All-Stars next month in the Indiana-Kentucky All Star Series.
