Profile:
Sotos had a very solid junior campaign last year for Conant, but really put his name on the map with his play for Young Legends on the travel team circuit. He is a high IQ guard that can play both on and off the ball. Plus shooter that moves well without the ball to get open. Crisp passer and tremendous leader.
Odds to Win:
30/1
Why he Can Win:
Sotos is a tough and gritty leader that high school basketball junkies love. Conant should be a team that makes some noise this season led by Sotos. If he can get them on a roll watch out as Sotos could steadily move up the player of the year board.
Obstacles to Win:
After a monster summer college coaches and recruiting followers became very aware of what Sotos brings to the table. How long will it take the casual high school basketball voter to notice Conant and Sotos?
