With that, we’re breaking down some of the promising sophomores to watch in various leagues across the state. We continue today with the Front Range League.
Avery Rembao, 6-4 wing, Loveland
Rembao has made such big strides from what was already a strong freshman season, averaging nearly six points per game. Rembao has developed an ability to consistently finish above the rim, is growing as a defender and displays good toughness. He was another 2019 player who really impressed at the Expo and his future is bright.
Joe Urynowicz, 6-2 guard, Rocky Mountain
Urynowicz was the top-scoring freshman in the league last season at 9.0 points per game. He demonstrated an ability to put the ball in the basket against more experienced competition under his belt. He should now be able to use that experience to take an even better step as a sophomore for a Rocky Mountain team that should be much improved.
Andre Sepeda, 5-9 guard, Greeley West
Sepeda as a freshman was thrown into the fire, playing point guard on an experienced team with league-title aspirations and he performed like a player who had already been in those battles. He averaged 7.4 points and 2.4 assists per game for the 19-6 Spartans. Watching Sepeda perform well at the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo in Lakewood earlier this month, it’s clear he’s ready to big strides this season.
Davis Kang, 5-8 guard, Boulder
Kang made a great impression at the Kick Off back in April, hitting one big 3-pointer after another for the Colorado Titans 15U squad. He’s undersized but fundamentally sound, and he can really shoot it. He’s also demonstrated to handle the ball well against pressure, and there’s good chance Boulder will find a way to use that set of skills.
Miller Davison, 6-7 forward, Boulder
Davison is still relatively new to playing the game, and he may be another year away from cracking the varsity rotation. But he has made big strides from the time we saw him as an incoming freshman at our combine in September 2015 to his performance at the Expo two weeks ago. He’s clearly worked to add strength to his long frame and his footwork was much better. Davison is still developing, but he’s showed promise.
Beck Page, 6-2 guard, Longmont
Page created buzz during a strong grassroots season for the newly formed Colorado Anarchy, a player who could get the rim or shoot it consistently from long- and mid-range. He’s got a lot of talent as a playmaker and should fit well into Longmont’s disciplined system.
