Greater Houston’s Top 25 Pound for Pound is a list of 25 prospects regardless of the graduating class. In volume 2 we will feature the prospects ranked 1st - 5th.   1.) [player_tooltip player_id="889559" first="Bryce" last="Griggs"] 6’2” PG | 2022 | Fort Bend Hightower Bryce was the top prospect from Greater Houston this season with a phenomenal sophomore campaign. No matter who was put in front of him he outplayed them and came away as the victor. He is a well-known scorer mainly his deep ball game, but this season he took pride in showcasing his ability to guard the best player on the opposing team. Super high motor, crazy skill set, scores at an extremely high clip from all three levels on the court, and caught his first in-game dunk that had the gym going bananas.   2.) [player_tooltip player_id="779883" first="Ramon" last="Walker"] 6’5” SG | 2021 | Alvin Shadow Creek Ramon is a very polished scorer on the court. He has a nice smoothness to his game and is a problem for opponents. He is uber-athletic and won’t hesitate to put his opponent in the rim. Shoots great off the bounce with great elevation on his jumper and can score it at all three levels on the court. He has a solid frame and good physical attributes as well.   3.) [player_tooltip player_id="887043" first="Ja’Vier" last="Francis"] 6’7” C | 2021 | Westbury Christian Talk about a walking double-double. Ja’Vier (Jay-V-Air) is that prospect. He is a true rim protector and will send your shot into the stands. He had a total of 4 triple-double games this season. He is also a ferocious rebounder as well. Talk about a bouncy prospect he is one of the highest jumpers in the gym and springs up very quickly. He also has a tremendously long wingspan and will dunk it on you in a flash.   4.) [player_tooltip player_id="779877" first="Javon" last="Jackson"] 6’1” PG | 2021 | Summer Creek Javon is a great scorer on the floor. He can light you up from deep. Take his opponent off the dribble to the cup. Stop and pop on you from the mid-range. A true scorer on all levels. He is a score-first point guard that does have a nice court vision. Quick hands and great feet laterally defensively.   5.) [player_tooltip player_id="779906" first="Jonathan" last="Massie"] 6’3” SG | 2021 | St. Thomas Catholic Jon Jon had a coming-out party season. He transferred in yo a new school and was put in a situation where he was the focal point and he answered that. Showed that he can control the entire team. He can create for his teammates and get buckets. He also guarded the best opposing player from the other team. He has some athleticism and plays with one speed.
