Jamal West | St. Frances ’20
West won’t be attending all of the Panthers’ summer league games, but he made his debut last night and didn’t disappoint. The 6-foot-5 wing/forward displayed an improved ability to control the ball in the open floor and find teammates for easy scores. He also threw down a few thunderous dunks, but none were better than his one-handed tomahawk after catching New Town’s help defense slipping.
Tevin Curtis | St. Frances ’21
Curtis made his presence felt in the second half by scoring all 10 of his points and leading St. Frances to a win. The rising junior did a nice job of hitting shots from the mid-range off the dribble and filling lanes in transition that freed him up for lay-ups.
Julian Reese | St. Frances ’21
Reese didn’t light up the scoring column, but utilized his 6-foot-9, long frame to be a shot-blocking presence every time the ball was in the paint. St. Frances had a steep size advantage, so it resulted in Reese getting plenty of opportunities for blocks. It was good to see him being active on the weak side and keeping the ball in play after the block.
Stephon Marcano | New Town ’20
Marcano is a potential transfer for New Town and if he can consistently play like he did last night, he should be a nice addition for the defending Baltimore County champs. Marcano is a skinny, 6-foot-1 guard that showed ability to score from all three levels. He wasn’t afraid to challenge the St. Frances bigs in the paint and was able to finish or draw a foul on multiple occasions. He also was constantly communicating on the defensive side.
Darrius Tilghman | City ’21
After a productive first game against Calvert Hall, Tilghman continued to show consistency in week two. The 6-foot-3 southpaw did a nice job of making plays off the dribble and made a few outside shots. If Tilghman can force his defender to guard him closely off the catch on the three-point line, it makes him immensely impactful as a play maker.
Dominick Carrington | City’ 20
Carrington is known for being one of the best shooters in the area and he continues to show why this summer. The 5-foot-10 sniper connected on multiple three’s and applied on-ball pressure defensively throughout.
Jeremiah Stanton | Gerstell ’21
Stanton makes the standout list for the second consecutive time. If he continues this level of play consistently the next couple of weeks, it’s safe to say he will be a player that college coaches, especially at the Division III level will track closely.
