There is usually a big jump in a young man's game from his frosh to his sophomore year. They have a year to acclimate themselves to a new school and learn that basketball is more than running and jumping. The fundamental part comes, in this time span. Here are 8 players ready to come of age. Malachi Macmillian. 6”1. SO (2023) MOLLOY HS This young lefty can get to the rim. Really quick first step. He has a strong body that enables him to finish. Can also stroke it. Josh Decaddy. 6”5. SO (2023) MOLLOY HS An athletic big man who is very active. Is a rim protector and tremendous rebounder. Can score around the rim. Works constantly to improve. Needs a little more confidence. Jack Guevarra. 5”11. SO (2023) MOLLOY HS A young guard who can drill the three and just plain shoot the ball. A strong player. Tough as they come. A very savvy player with court awareness. Jaiden Williams 6”4. SO(2023) CARDINAL HAYES HS Big bulky frame. Can really score around the basket. Can flush it in traffic. Can score with both hands. Working on his perimeter shooting. Will be a major force to watch as he matures on the court. Michael Walker. 6”7. SO (2023) XAVERIAN HS As this big man gains more experience he should develop into a major talent. Very good work ethic to go along with his body. Can score around rim. Don Colon Lewis. 6”5. SO (2023) XAVERIAN HS Excellent passer and ball handler. Has a great feel for the game. Good touch inside and out. Has deep range with his shot. Working on getting into game shape for the varsity level. Emmanuel ikioda. 6”3. SO (2023) MOLLOY HS A strong athlete. Really strong finisher at the rim. Has been working on his overall shooting. Melhi Blamoville. 5”9. SO (2023) MOLLOY HS Real smart point guard. A floor general on the court. Can shoot it well. Really good on the ball defender.
