With the home stretch of the regular season on the horizon, let’s take a look at the 11th- through 15th-leading steals men in Colorado’s Class 3A.
11. Aironas Bilevicius, 5-11, G/SF, Middle Park, 2019, 3.3 spg
Bilevicius can put up the points when he gets on a roll, but consistently scores around a dozen per game. He also has a knack for poking the ball away from opposing ball handlers and creating transition offense for himself and the other Panthers.
12. Sam Howery, 5-9, G, St. Mary’s, 2022, 3.2 spg
A talented 1-on-1 player and a guard with a high basketball IQ, Howery hit the ground running when he got to high school at St. Mary’s. As freshman, he has averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game through the first 17 contests of his prep career.
13. Michael Brooks, 5-6, SG/PG, DSST: Stapleton, 2019, 3.2 spg
DSST: Stapleton has a pair of scorers ahead of Brooks and while he’s capable of scoring, he also tends to take responsibility for doing a lot of the other things that need to get done in order to win a basketball game. To supplement his 7.1-point scoring average
14. Luke Yates, 6-1, PG/SG, Buena Vista, 2020, 3.2 spg
A solid wide receiver, defensive back and kick return man for the Buena Vista football, Yates is among the best athletes at his school. On the basketball court this season, he is averaging 15.6 points, 3.2 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 3.2 steals.
15. Mason Robertson, 5-10, G, Englewood, 2020, 3.1 spg
A big-time glue guy for his team, it’s a rare occasion when Robertson attempts more than four or five shots in a game. Instead, the junior spends most of his time doing all the other stuff. He averages 3.1 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 3.1 steals.
