Player: Robert Williams, North Caddo, 6'8 F
Previous Season: 28-4 record, 2A Semi-Finalist, 2A Honorable Mention
Why Will He Win? Robert Williams is a powerful and extremely athletic 6'8 forward. He should be able to put up big numbers on both ends of the floor in 2A and make North Caddo a threat to make another deep run in the playoffs. In the EYBL he managed to 8 ppg in regular season and 12 at the Peach Jam despite not being a top option. On defense is where he excelled. Leading EYBL in blocks in regular season and being a menace on the boards both ways.
Why Won't He Win? Sadly, he's at a school and area that won't get as much coverage as it deserves. Getting to the gym will be tough for most so they'll have to rely on what we see and when North Caddo is playing away against big games. Plus, with Madison Prep and Riverside both in 2A, it is hard to imagine North Caddo making a title run. That could keep him away from the trophy. Showing off his offensive skills and a good showing in 2A Semi-Finals could be enough to make him Mr. Basketball.
