Florida Top 250 Expo Prospect Report: Alphonse Alfred (2019)
2019 Palm Beach Central forward Alphonse Alfred was one of 53 upperclassmen and 86 total prospects in attendance at the Prep Hoops Florida Top 250 Expo on Saturday, Sept. 30th at DME Academy in Daytona Beach.
I caught up with Alfred to talk about his time at the expo.
Q: What was your experience like in Daytona at the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo?
A: My experience was that there a lot of competition out there and everyone wants what you have.
Q: Where did you first hear about it?
A: I saw it on YouTube and I thought it would be something really good to do so I did some research and there was in Florida.
Q: What was the best thing you learned?
A: One thing I learned was that you got to be willing to work and be determined to be something.
Q: What positive in your game grew? What negative in your game did you notice and try to fix?
A: One of the positives that showed up was probably my shooting and defense. But the negative part was that I wasn’t being aggressive enough didn’t take advantage of my opportunity.
Q: Would you recommend the expo to your peers? How come?
A: I would recommend the expo to my peers because some of them are really good but they don’t have a way of getting their name out. I feel this is a good way to do it.
Unfortunately, Alfred tore his ACL earlier this month and he’ll be out for the season. At the expo, he expected toughness and agility time and time again. Once he returns from injury, he’ll be very important for the Broncos. He needs to take in as much as he can sitting on the bench in terms of basketball knowledge this season.
