Summer Stock Risers

Long Island had their players in many different gyms throughout the summer. They displayed their talents. Here are the some of the players who impressed us. Kyle Marshall. 5”10. 2022. St Dominics HS Very creative shot maker. A scoring point guard who really knows when he needs to score or get his teammates involved. Excellent with the ball in his hands. Mike Welton. 6”4. 2022. St. John the Baptist Excited to see the development of this player. Outstanding shooter from three. Real good footwork in the post and a mid range game to match, makes him a scorer from all three levels. Has had a very good summer. Mano Idir. 6”5. 2023. St. John the Baptist HS High basketball IQ player. Runs the floor well and can finish on break. Knows how to score around the rim. Excellent footwork has a little of a European big man game. Excellent passer in the post. Jacob Brandly. 6”5. 2023. St. John the Baptist HS Flat out scorer. Can fill it up from the perimeter or score in the low post. A creative scorer can get to the rim. Deepuk Edmunds. 6”5. 2023. Chaminade HS We got a glimpse of what's ahead this season for this player, in a shortened season last year he showed he might be a POY candidate in the catholic school league. Has a great feel for the game. He can go hard to the rim, shoot the perimeter jumper or make a nice touch pass to a teammate. Excellent student on and off the court. Greg Cantwell. 6”2. 2022. Chaminade HS Great basketball bloodlines. His cousin is a Chaminade alumni ( Michael O’connell) now playing at Stanford. His mother and sister played at Lafayette. No doubt he knows the game. Very good shooter. A long player with sneaky athletic ability. Dave Debusshere. 5”10. 2023. Chaminade HS The grandson of the New York Knick great of the same name. Lights out shooter might be the best shooter in the league next year. Multiple games last year with over 4 threes made a game. Could be a special player because of his awareness and scoring prowess.
