Continue ReadingWho are the top perimeter shooters currently attending school in Prince George’s County? The purpose of this article is to highlight some of the very best, regardless of class. Below you will find, listed in alphabetical order by last name, 10 of the top perimeter shooters from PG County. This is part of a series that will aim to highlight players based on various superlatives.
Note: these superlative lists will not be mutually exclusive. If someone can handle the ball and do something else (i.e. shoot) at a high level, they will be included in both lists.
Mikhai Arnold Mikhai Arnold 6'0" | PG Frederick Douglass | 2022 State MD | Frederick Douglass ’22
Arnold is a three-point specialist who can play on or off the ball. The 6’0 combo guard sports a potent jumper with considerable range and a quick release.
David Brown III David Brown III 6'5" | SF Bishop McNamara | 2021 State MD | Bishop McNamara ’21
Brown is one of many dangerous three-point marksmen on McNamara’s roster. At 6-foot-4 and some change, he’s got the size to shoot over the top of most defenders and is comfortable shooting on the move.
Daemond Ford Daemond Ford 6'2" | CG Wise | 2021 State MD | Wise ’21
Ford has established a reputation as one of the area’s most consistent shooters. He’s especially effective when able to get his feet set, and is very good at making teams pay when left open.
Jordan Hawkins Jordan Hawkins 6'5" | SF DeMatha | 2021 State #41 Nation MD | DeMatha ’21
Hawkins is a high-level wing prospect who is one of the best floor spacers in the area. He is equally effective while pulling up, coming off a screen, or standing still.
Ed Johnson III Ed Johnson III 6'1" | CG Bishop McNamara | 2021 State MD | Bishop McNamara ’21
Johnson, a southpaw combo guard who knocks down the trey ball with regularity, also mixes in his mid-range game nicely. One thing that you’ve got to commend him for is his willingness to take and make big shots in crunch time.
Henrikas Kalnius Henrikas Kalnius 6'7" | PF New Hope | 2021 MD | New Hope ’21
Kalnius, a 6-foot-7 forward from Lithuania, has one of the best-looking shooting strokes you’ll find in the DMV. He possesses an intriguing combination of size to go along with his touch which makes him an attractive prospect.
Aaron Lewis Aaron Lewis 6'6" | PF Lanham Christian | 2021 MD | Lanham Christian ’21
Lewis is another stretch forward who shoots it exceptionally well from long range and has a nice follow through. He shot 37% from three throughout his junior year and this is a great number for someone listed at 6-foot-7.
Christian Niles Christian Niles 6'1" | SG Bishop McNamara | 2021 MD | Bishop McNamara ’21
Niles, a three-point specialist who can fill it up in a hurry, is not well known around the WCAC like some others, but that should change soon. Expect him to see an uptick in minutes along with production next season.
Jakai Robinson Jakai Robinson 6'4" | SF Rock Creek Christian | 2021 State #53 Nation MD | National Christian ’21
Some might not think that shooting is a huge part of Robinson’s overall game, but he’s worked hard to make it become one. The skilled lefty is a capable shot-creator who demonstrates impressive range and accuracy from a variety of situations.
Devon Savage Devon Savage 6'4" | SF Riverdale Baptist | 2021 State MD | Riverdale Baptist ’21
Savage is one of the more well-known marksmen on this list, and he’s earned it with his consistency over the years. The 6-foot-4 sniper is particularly effective from spot-up situations but has become increasingly effective at creating space on his own.
