WCBA Blue 16U Preview
WCBA Blue 16U Preview and Roster Analysis
Jett Fortuny-Cary 6’3″ SG Pure shooter with a quick release and deep range. Good defender and rebounds well from the guard position. Good motor and doesn’t back down from a challenge. He was 2nd team all-conference at Cary High School as a sophomore. Jett is getting interest from Campbell and Utah State, and I expect that list to grow this summer.
Collin Lewis-Millbrook 5’11” SG They don’t come any tougher than Collin. He drew a charge per game in High School, and has already had 3 in one game in this young AAU season. He’s a tenacious on ball defender. He has a nice stroke from 3 and can finish at the basket with contact.
Donovan Brown-Garner 6’2″ PF Donovan is a tough defender and has some “dog” in him. He does the dirty work that may not show up on the stat sheet, but is an integral part of the team being successful. He rebounds with toughness and is a good finisher at the rim.
Bradley Barnes-Millbrook 6’2″ SG Bradley played varsity as a sophomore at Millbrook. He has a quick release and a nice mid-range game. He can also shoot it consitently from deep. Bradley plays with a high motor and is a team first guy.
Shayne Saigo-Knightdale 6’3″ PF Shayne has a long wingspan and plays much bigger than 6’3″. He made all conference at Knightdale as a sophomore. Shayne is young for his grade and expects to grow another few inches. He’s a tough matchup because he is crafty around the rim, but can also take players off the dribble. He has a solid mid-range. People that watch him play always comment on his motor…he gets after it. I expect Shayne to start getting on some college radars this summer.
Charlie Barnett-VES 6’0″ PG Charlie is a pure shooter and has unlimited range. He’s a great communicator on the court and is mature beyond his years. He plays with a toughness and always gives great effort.
Trevor Batchelor-Rocky Mount Prep 5’11” PG Trevor is a natural point guard with a great handle. He sees the floor well and looks to get his teammates involved. Trevor also has the ability to get by defenders and finish at the basket. He shoots it well and is a high energy defender.
Karsten Crumpler-Clayton 6’4″ PF Karsten is a tough competitor. He has a nice mid-range game and battles on the boards oboth ends. Karsten is still developing, but has the right work ethic to continue to get better. He’s a great teammate and is always vocal at practice and in games.
Andrew Carroll– Wake Christian 6’2″ SG If you are making a video on the perfect jumpshot come watch Andrew shoot. His form is so pure that you are surprised when a shot doesn’t go in. Andrew can also create space off of the dribble and has a nice mid-range game. He’s a great competitor and gives great effort at all times.
