Chsaa Top 50 #24- 19
<p>Coming down the stretch in our rankings. Would just like to thank all the coaches who helped me with their input. They put up with my text at all hours...I appreciate it. I was impressed with the fact that they not only praised their players but players from other teams. </p>
<p><strong>24. Mamadou Traore. 6”1. 2022. Cardinal Hayes HS</strong></p>
<p>A tough lefty. An Explosive guard who gets to the rim. Can dunk in traffic. Team’s best defender.</p>
<p><strong>23 Joel Baez 6”4. 2022. Stepinac HS</strong></p>
<p>A long athletic wing. Rebounds well for his size. Can play the 1-2 or 3. Defends well and offensively gets to the rim and finishes. </p>
<p><strong>22 Jonathan Medley 6”5. 2022. St. Francis Prep HS</strong></p>
<p>A double-double machine. Uses his body well to create space. A tremendous rebounder and rim protector. Also capable of shooting the three. </p>
<p><strong>21 Samuel Gibbs 6”2 2022. Stepinac HS</strong></p>
<p>Another lefty guard. Played alongside (North Carolina bound R J Davis) for the last two years. Really skilled player. A crafty point guard who knows how to get to the lane and set up a teammate. But can also knock down shots on his own.</p>
<p><strong>20 [player_tooltip player_id="992510" first="Javoy" last="Thompson"]. 6”5. 2023. Mount St. Michael HS</strong></p>
<p>A very strong tremendous athlete. One of the biggest upside and potential of players on our top 50 list. Can block shots, rebound and hit the three. Great body still maturing. </p>
<p><strong>19 Blaise New. 5”8. 2023. Iona Prep HS</strong></p>
<p>In a short time on varsity, he has shown he belongs. Really tough fearless player. This point guard has a tremendous skill set. Can really stroke it. High basketball IQ, great court vision. Always working on his game. A young but tremendously advanced talent.</p>
