Aidan Abell Aidan Abell 6'6" | SG Westminster Academy | 2022 State FL – Westminster Academy
2022 Aidan Abell Aidan Abell 6'6" | SG Westminster Academy | 2022 State FL had a good game for Westminster Academy. The 6-foot-5 guard finished with 21 points and knocked down three 3-pointers. I thought Abell did a nice job scoring off the baseline using his size and athleticism. He often likes that spot on the floor and explodes above the rim. Overall, his length can be a factor from the perimeter or near the basket. He holds an offer from Stetson.
Gregory Spate Gregory Spate 6'6" Coral Springs | 2023 FL – Coral Springs
2023 Gregory Spate Gregory Spate 6'6" Coral Springs | 2023 FL finished with 18 points and a pair of 3-pointers for the Colts. The 6-foot-6 guard hit a clutch shot in the lane to propel the Colts’ comeback victory. Spate attacked the center of the paint and used his size and athleticism to hit a short floater. I thought it was a big moment after he settled for some outside shots earlier on. Spate did hit two 3-pointers. Credit 2022 Jonathan Fils Jonathan Fils 6'2" | SG Coral Springs | 2022 State FL with a nice game as well. The 6-foot guard finished with 16 points and two 3-pointers. Fils did a nice job scoring from all levels.
Markos Myrtidis Markos Myrtidis 5'10" | PG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2023 FL – St. Thomas Aquinas
2023 Markos Myrtidis Markos Myrtidis 5'10" | PG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2023 FL finished with 11 points and a 3-pointer. The 6-foot guard was clutch in spots and did a good job running the Raiders’ offense in the halfcourt. Myrtidis has a good handle and can score with either hand at the rim. 2023 Trevor Buxbaum was also clutch with nine points and two 3-pointers.
Cameron Gibson – Sagemont
2023 Cameron Gibson had his shot working during the night cap. The 6-foot-2 guard finished with 21 points and knocked down multiple 3-pointers. I like his form and backcourt athleticism. Gibson has helped Sagemont to a 10-3 overall record.
