He is not only big but talented. He has a nice looking shot, smooth with lots of rotation that extends beyond the three point line. He is best in the low block, where he can muscle his way to the basket. He is not just a big, strong player. He has good moves and footwork in the post with his back to the basket. His 10 to 15 foot jumpers are clean. He can get himself from block to block with the power dribble or two. He will be a tough match-up for 2B schools and any other he plays.
The Central 2B is a tough league this year and he is one of the toughest players in it. He is a scorer and a good athlete with length. A deadly shooter from beyond the arc with a mid-range game that is solid. He is tough in the open floor and one of the best at finishing on the break. He has improved his shot every year, shooting 43% from three last season. He will cross the thousand point mark as a junior this season and make a case for player of the year in the Central 2B along with the aforementioned player.
The 3rd Central 2B player from the county here. The best point guard in the league can get to the basket and score from all levels. He has a high basketball IQ and sees the floor well. He doesn’t make many mistakes. The returning first team all league junior is a clutch player who will keep coming at the defense when his team needs a basket. He is resilient and talented. He could also make a case for the player of the year.
He is the biggest player in the state, and a walking double double. He averaged 14 and 13 a game last season. That’s 13 rebounds which you don’t see often. He has good footwork and knows how to command attention on the block to get the ball. He can seal the defense and when he gets it in good position to score, he is a bucket. He has a soft touch from around 15 feet and in. He has put the work in to be a basketball player, not just a big player.
