Mike Notias 5”11. 2022. Manhassett
A big reason Manhasset has started off 5-0 is the steady play of this guard. Very confident with the ball. Very poised. A calming influence with the ball in his hands. Can turn it on and get to the hoop to score himself or set up a teammate. Excellent range from beyond the arc as well as a pull up jumper. Finds open spots and cuts hard.
Chris Naronis 5”10. 2022. Floral Park
Floral Park was very impressive at the 10-10 event. Chris was a big piece of that event. Very good athlete with a high motor. When he is hot he is a lights out shooter with unlimited range. Active rebounder and was able to score on putbacks.
Matt Ollen 5”9. 2022. Floral Park
Matt is an excellent shooter. Drains the three ball consistently. Has a nice mid range jumper. Creative scorer who can finish with contact.
Antonio Matthew 5”10. 2022. Island Trees
Was very impressed with Antonio’s ability to get by defenders. He has a nice pull up jumper. Gets good elevation on his shot. He was able to get into the lane and create for himself or others . Excellent in transition and changing speed and direction. Moves his feet well and is an excellent defender. A player to watch.
Jakai Stith 6”1. 2023 Hempstead
A big body who can play inside or out. Handles the ball well. Very cunning player. Observes and attacks off the dribble. Relentless and hard to stop going to the rim. Uses his body to protect the ball.
Liam Buckley 6”4. 2023. Manhassett
Another big reason for the 5-0 start. Liam handles the inside. Strong body. Extremely active inside. Gains extra possessions for his squad. Liam is an outstanding shooter as well . Can step out or be the trailer on a break and drill the three. Runs the floor well.
Jaeden Davis-Samuel 6”3. 2022 Hempstead
A space eater. Uses his body to gain position and score. Strong rebounder in traffic. He showed the ability to get the defender on his back and then used a quick spin move off the low block. Good footwork .
