<p>October 11th, Chris Williams and the St. Ray's basketball staff hosted the exclusive 'Test the Waters' event featuring some of the best programs and prospects in New York City. I've identified a few standouts from the event.<br />

'22 <strong>Isaiah Philbert</strong>, 6'2 G, St. Raymond - Isaiah continues to shoot the ball at a high level from the catch. His presence on the floor keeps defenses honest which essentially helps Tai and Brandon operate in space. <br />

'22 [player_tooltip player_id="1045930" first="RJ" last="Greene"], 6'5 G, Iona Prep - RJ's poise and demeanor on the floor always allows him to stay in control. He looked bouncy at the event and finished with a number of explosive dunks.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/NY-Live-Awaka-Tobe.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1226546" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/NY-Live-Awaka-Tobe-275x300.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="300" /></a><br />
<br />
'22 [player_tooltip player_id="1136568" first="Tobe" last="Awaka"], 6'8" F, Cardinal Hayes - After talking with Tobe I learned it was his first game back since his foot injury. You could have fooled me. He looked amazing finishing around the paint while grabbing a large number of rebounds. He has range on his jumper stepping out 15-17 on different occasions.<br />
<br />

<br />
'23 [player_tooltip player_id="992509" first="Brandon" last="Williams"], 6'8" F, Christ the King - Brandon's ability to handle the ball and ignite the offense adds another dimension to his game. The plus-size forward/wing continues to refine his unique skill set developing into a 'do it all' prospect.<br />
<br />
'23 [player_tooltip player_id="1045927" first="Noah" last="Best"], 6'5" G, Mount Saint Michael - Noah is developing into a consistent three-level scorer. His ability to shoot at a high level will always make him intriguing to college coaches. </p>
