Wesley Peterson Is On Verge Of A Breakout Year
The main guy for O’Connell this year is going to be 2021 6’5 Wes Peterson. Peterson’s body is a lot more filled out since last winter and he is ready to have a breakout season as the leader for Joe Wooten’s young squad. Peterson scored close to 30 points on Saturday and looked great in doing so. He was connecting on short mid range fade’s, got to the rim at will and showed off his jumper by connecting on some three pointers. Defensively he has tremendous versatility which allows him to guard multiple positions. He also showed off his athleticism by finishing above the rim on a few possessions.
Rodney Rice Is One Of The Top Scorers In The DMV
Rice has the opportunity to be one of the top scorers in the entire DMV this year as a sophomore. He was constantly engaged in the game on both sides of the ball but his scoring ability is what stood out. On my count he had at least five triples with one coming from the volleyball line. Besides from offense, defensively it was the best I have seen him play and he was constantly going up for defensive rebounds.
Giddeon Sahlen Is An Intriguing Prospect
The 6’8 junior from Sweden is going to fill a nice role for Bullis this year. Bullis does not have a lot of size but Sahlen will give them some much needed depth in the low post. He understands the game and was showing off some nice moves with the ball in his hands. He has terrific touch and looks like a stretch four that can shoot the ball from deep. He also showed some nice passing skills as a big man.
