3 Players to Watch this Season (2A)
The 2018-2019 season is just around the corner! Arizona is absolutely loaded with talent. Here are the 2A players to watch this season:
Dawson Pruszynski (Pima) – Pima was last year’s number one seed and I think they will be back full force this season due to Dawson. Last season, he put up an impressive stat line of 19.6 points, 3.7 assists, and 9.6 rebounds per game. He led the team in scoring and will lead to this team to many wins this season. He is the player to watch this season.
Matur Dhal (Paradise Honors) – Matur Dhal is very hard to miss. Whether you are looking for him or not, you will find him due to his size. Dhal stands at 6’10 as a sophomore. He had a fantastic summer playing for Powerhouse Hoops 15U Compton and trained with Vaughn Compton all throughout the summer. He is going to have a big season and an even bigger career going forward.
John Olmsted (Morenci) – Olmsted is one of the most versatile big men I have ever seen at this age. This summer he demonstrated how great of passer he could be out of the post. John stands at 6’10 and is immediately double teamed when he gets the ball in the post. While he does have the ability to finish with a hook, I think it is his ability to recognize and hit the open man that puts his apart from other big men. Last season Olmsted averaged 15.4 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game. It is also notable that John is a high academic player, gathering interest from Harvard and Yale.
