New York State POY Candidates

<p>Here are my early pre season candidates to be named as the best player ”Mr Basketball” in N Y by seasons end. </p> <p><strong>Jordan Riley                    6”2               Brentwood HS</strong></p> <p>Arguably the best player in the State. My opinion is he is the best player in the state.  Definitely the most exciting. The future Georgetown Hoya is a High School Highlight film. He can chase you down defensively, block your shot, come down with it in one motion and then lead the break that ends with a monstrous jam. First team all state last year.</p> <p><strong>Adrian Griffin                  6”7.                Stepinac HS</strong></p> <p>A tremendous skill set for the Duke commit.  A rim protector on one end and a strong finisher with either hand on the offensive end, He is a complete player. Was my #1 ranked player of the top 50 players in the chsaa.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1047661" first="Malachi" last="Smith"].               6”1.                    St. Rays HS</strong></p> <p>A top 3 player in his league. The very tough Chsaa. His coach knows what a special talent he has. Plus other coaches sing his praises.  He is a pure point guard who can score at will. Very crafty with the ball. His future opponents will find out, how hard he is to guard in the A10 and his new home Dayton will love him.</p> <p><strong>Rafael Andres Pinzon      6”6                 Long Island Lutheran HS</strong></p> <p>The St Johns Red Storm secured this big guard. He can score at all three levels. A coach on the floor. Really high IQ. At his height he can play the point which is an added plus. Tremendous skillset he can do it all.</p> <p><strong>Kahlil Brantley                  6”0                     Boys and Girls HS</strong></p> <p>Unlimited range. Averaged 34 ppg 4 assists per game. Somehow at 6”0 was able to pull down 9 rpg. Loves to take the big shot. Was a first team selection last year with the above mentioned players. Creighton, Georgetown, Seton Hall and Oklahoma State are just a few of the schools looking to get this scoring machine.</p> <p><strong>Jacquan Carlos.              6”0.                    Thomas Jefferson HS</strong></p> <p>A tremendous passer. Super quick. Has a real natural flair to his game. He is so good with the ball in his hands. After the game you are so impressed how he handles the ball and then you realize he scored 25 as well. Virginia Tech, St Johns, Cincinnati, Wake Forest and N C State are schools who have offered.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
