Here is part 2 of our reports on two impressive programs out of Staten Island. Dorian Paki. 6”5. 2022. St. Joseph by the Sea Very good closing out on shooters. Uses his long wingspan to guard on the pass in the lane or out on the perimeter. His soft-touch inside gets him points. Improving on his perimeter game to stretch the defense. Christian Zanone. 6”0. 2022. St. Joseph by the Sea High motor. A true point guard who excels in the open floor. Very good defender on the ball and is always in the right spot either on rotations or in help defense. Has hit the weight room to improve on his strength to finish at the rim. Jack Lotito. 6”0. 2021. St. Peters Very good athlete. Excellent defender. Will usually guard top scorer on opponents team. Fearless to the basket. Real tough scrappy player. Takes charges and gets on the floor for the loose ball. Makes winning plays. Working on becoming a more consistent shooter on the perimeter. J T Lentendre. 6”2. 2021. St. Peters Does all the little things to help you win a game. Sacrifices his body, gets deflections, takes the charge. But can also shoot it real well, in catch-and-shoot situations. Needs to be a little tighter with his handle. Sean Gough. 6”7. 2022. St Peters Can step out and drill it from the perimeter. An excellent shooter who can stretch the defense. Could post defender alters and blocks shots. A defensive presence in the lane. Still growing into his body. Anthony Kraker. 6”3. 2022. St. Peters Can play multiple positions. Either guard spot or out on the wing. A long athletic player. Has looked real good in workouts. Improving on expanding his range.
