#10 JAYDER REID 5”9 FR LUHI
Long Island Lutheran H S puts up their third player in a row. Not much difference in each of these players in ranking. Totally different on floor. On a team, that had 3 high D1 players, this young man at times marveled. Excellent on the ball defender. Very high IQ for anyone never mind he’s a freshman . Can really drill the three. Playing with elite talent he was able to get the ball to the right guy at the right time. Also showed the confidence and maturity to get his own when it was available. Unbelievable future for this young player.
#9 MALACHI MOORE 6”2 FR COPIAGUE H S
A complete player. Combines the elite skill set with a high IQ ,court vision ,will to win and work ethic to get better. He’s already really good. Tremendous upside . A player that will be on the list for years to come.
#8. RAFAEL ANDRES PINZON 6”6 JR LUHI
Can score from three, mid range or get to the rim. At 6”6 he plays point. Very crafty around rim. Really shoots the three ball well. High IQ. Great on the ball defender. A coach on the floor. Already has multiple D1 offers.
#7 SPENCER MALLOY 6”6. SR COMMACK H S
A really sound post player. Can score inside 12 feet. Finishes with either hand. Knows how to defend the post. Teams collapsed on him all year and he still managed to score. Underpublized high school career will be very good player in college. Opposing coaches gave him high marks. That solidifies him as a top 10 player.
#6 TY-SHON PANNEL 5”10 SR CENTRAL ISLIP H S
Can flat out score. Saw him at an exposure camp. He was the hardest worker. Against dummy defense he was cutting and handling the ball like he was being guarded by Kawhi Leonard. An amazing talent. Can take over games when he needs to. Really exciting player.
#5 JO JO WRIGHT 5”9 FR UNIONDALE H S
Future is bright on L I with another Freshman. The third in the top 10. An amazing talent. A coach on the floor. Completed his 2nd year on varsity. Does everything well. No blemishes in his game. JoJo on a very talented team that produces great college talent stood out.
#4 MALIK EDMEAD 5”10 SR DEER PARK H S
Best pull up game on a high school player I have seen in a long time. Gets to the basket and extends himself to get it over bigger players. But if he needs too, he can dunk it on the bigs, as well. Tremendous 3 point shooter. Great ball handler .Terrific passer. The complete package will be a major college player at D1 Merrimack. Many colleges will regret not stepping in earlier.
#3 ZED KEY 6”8 SR LUHI
The big man takes up space but is mobile enough to step out and hit the three. Tremendous rebounder and rim protector. Really good footwork and a nice touch from 15 and in. Will be a force in the big 10 with Ohio State.
#2 JORDAN RIELLY 6”2 JR BRENTWOOD H S
A freak athlete. Extremely strong finisher and leader. But also possesses a high skill set. Can take the ball off the glass lead the break and throw it down. A player who is being closely watched by major programs would have had a nice showcase if the H S championships weren’t halted. Kansas was in attendance to see him at the Suffolk County championship game.
#1 ANDREW CURBELLO 6”1 SR LUHI
Will be at Illinois next year. Really smooth confident player. An elite skill set. Very good handle who can score the ball . Really hard worker. Does what it takes to win. Has played against major talent while at LUHI so will not be surprised with Big 10 play. Andrew will excel at his new school and you will hear a lot of him.
