ICYMI: 2021: Names To Know (Part 1)
Sergey Grishaev Sergey Grishaev 6'10" | C Sagemont | 2021 State FL (Sagemont)
Grishaev is a Russian native who is making his presence known at Weston Sagemont. The 6’8″ wing/power forward has a lengthy body and can flat out shoot and run an offense with his impressive ballhandling. His Euro-style game will make any college program happy and he is currently getting stronger and more explosive at the point of attack. Before this worldwide pandemic situation, Grishaev earned an invite to try out for the U17 Russian National Team. He is a hybrid 3/4 that will draw the attention of college coaches here soon.

Maurice Willie Maurice Willie 5'10" | CG Potter's House Christian | 2021 State FL (Paxon)
Paxon has had a fun two-year run to the state tournament and Willie had a huge influence behind all the success. The 5’11” junior controls the floor well, can play with many different gears and his ballhandling skills help everyone him. Willie certainly can hold his own when he puts his head down to the basket and his mid-range and outside jumper are both sound. Willie is going to be in charge of this fast paced group next season. Colleges will love his toughness.

Eric Howard Eric Howard 5'10" | CG Fivay | 2021 State FL (Fivay)
At 5’11”, it is clear defenses and opposing fans don’t expect Howard to do the things he can do as a bucket getter. The junior at Fivay can flat out fly up and down the floor and his hops are a problem. Howard has serious jumping ability and can throw down dunks often. He’s averaged 19.5 PPG combined over the last two seasons as he shot efficiently from the field as a junior (61 percent on 2-point attempts and 42 percent on 3-point attempts). A true athlete, Howard is in for a fine senior campaign.
Hunter Davidson Hunter Davidson 6'4" | PG Melbourne Central Catholic | 2021 State FL (Florida Prep)
Coming off yet another impressive season at Florida Prep, the 6’3″ junior proved he is a dangerous all-around scorer this past season. Averaging 18.0 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 4.6 APG and 4.0 SPG, he has a clear knack from shooting from long range (41 percent) and his left handed finish at the rim is a true asset. Davidson will continue to make noise over on the east coast and colleges should take notice.

Saiyan Marley Saiyan Marley 6'5" | SF Westminster Academy | 2021 State FL (Palmetto)
Moving from Palmer Trinity to Miami Palmetto, the 6’4″ Marley is an intriguing college prospect with speed, length and slashing ability. A forward with guard skills, he is a player to keep a close eye on after a nice season with Palmetto. Adding muscle and more strength all around will do wonders for his progress. Look for Marley to have a big fall in the Miami area.
