Continue ReadingYesterday was New Year’s Day and in honor of the unique college football bowl game matchups, we talked about 1-on-1 matchups that would be great to see in high school basketball in 2020. In the article yesterday, we focused specifically on the class of 2020. Well, I had too much fun with it so now – We take a look at the class of 2021!
Legend Geeter Legend Geeter 6'7" | PF River Rouge | 2021 State MI vs. Foster Wonders Foster Wonders 6'5" | SF Iron Mountain | 2021 State MI
Legend Geeter Legend Geeter 6'7" | PF River Rouge | 2021 State MI (2021, F, River Rouge)
Foster Wonders Foster Wonders 6'5" | SF Iron Mountain | 2021 State MI (2021, SF, Iron Mountain)
This would be an instant classic. Both players are Division 1 prospects. Geeter is a versatile player on both ends and Wonders is a skilled tough guy forward.
Julian Lewis Julian Lewis 6'5" | SG Ann Arbor Huron | 2021 State MI vs. Brody Parker Brody Parker 6'0" | CG Troy | 2021 State MI
Julian Lewis Julian Lewis 6'5" | SG Ann Arbor Huron | 2021 State MI (2021, SG, Ann Arbor Huron)
Brody Parker Brody Parker 6'0" | CG Troy | 2021 State MI (2021, SG, Troy)
This would be a battle of wills. Lewis might be the best perimeter defender in the junior class while Parker is a sharpshooting scoring machine. Who’s strength would win out?
Kingsley Perkins Kingsley Perkins 6'7" | PF Ann Arbor Huron | 2021 State MI vs. Michael Reed Michael Reed 6'8" | PF Muskegon | 2021 State MI
Kingsley Perkins Kingsley Perkins 6'7" | PF Ann Arbor Huron | 2021 State MI (2021, PF, Ann Arbor Huron)
Michael Reed Michael Reed 6'8" | PF Muskegon | 2021 State MI (2021, PF, Muskegon)
I’d love to see this battle between athletic power forwards. Perkins is long and bouncy while Reed is strong with great feet. This would be a physical matchup where the winner is the last man standing.
Logan Carson Logan Carson 6'9" | PF Buchanan | 2021 State MI vs. Javantae Randle Javantae Randle 6'9" | PF Detroit Frederick Douglass | 2021 State MI
Logan Carson Logan Carson 6'9" | PF Buchanan | 2021 State MI (2021, PF, Buchanan)
Javantae Randle Javantae Randle 6'9" | PF Detroit Frederick Douglass | 2021 State MI (2021, PF, Detroit Frederick Douglass)
This would be must see basketball! Carson and Randle are 2 of the fastest rising post prospects. Carson can face the bucket and score, while Randle uses his length to protect the rim.
Chris Cayton Chris Cayton 5'11" | PG Ann Arbor Skyline | 2021 State MI vs. Linden Holder Linden Holder 6'0" | PG De La Salle | 2021 State MI
Chris Cayton Chris Cayton 5'11" | PG Ann Arbor Skyline | 2021 State MI (2021, PG, Ann Arbor Skyline)
Linden Holder Linden Holder 6'0" | PG De La Salle | 2021 State MI (2021, PG, DeLaSalle)
These 2 underrated point guards would deserve to show off against each other in the spotlight. Both Cayton and Holder are efficient floor generals that can get buckets when their team needs points.
