Maleek McNeil, Williston, position PF/C, class senior, HT 6’7
Maleek is a very big body who can mussel his way through people in the paint. Maleek is not the fastest player on the court, but one of the strongest. Maleek is a pure center. Maleek has good finishing moves, and good back to the basket moves. Maleek is also a dominate shot blocker, and rim protector. Maleek is a player who could average a double double this season.
Will Hall, Ludlow, Position C, Class Senior
Will is a center, who is a rim protector, and cover a lot of area in the paint. Will should see a bigger role this season as a senior. Will rebounds the ball well, and does a good job scoring second chance points. Will is a hard working player, and not afraid to take a charge.
Jacob Thomas, Minnechaug Regional, Position F, HT 6’5, Class Senior
Jacob is a forward who can play out on the wing, and stretch the floor. Jacob has a good outside shot, and can run the floor. Jacob also plays good pressure defense, and forces a bunch of turnovers. Jacob has a good variety of skills, and good size. Jacob will be a stock riser this coming season.
Nick Carterud, Longmeadow, position C, Class Junior
Nick is a true center, and a force in the paint. Last season Nick had a game with 16 points, and 11 rebounds. Nick may not stretch the floor, but he does everything you would want in a traditional center. Nick is a good shot blocker, plays good help side defense. Nick boxes out hard and does a good job finishing at the rim. I think Nick should take a big step up this season for Longmeadow,
Erik Donaldson, East Longmeadow, Position F, Class Senior
Erik is a player you should see take a big jump heading into his senior year. Erik is a good shot blocker, who plays good defense without fouling. Erik has good anticipation on defense. Erik is a good rebounder, and has a good touch around the rim. Last season Erik had a number of multiple block games.
