While the rankings aren’t coming out just yet, it’s never to early to take a look at some of the top players in the class. In volume 2 of our watchlist series, we take a look at players that should figure somewhere in the initial c/o 2024 rankings.
Ryder Bryan 6’5 PF LV Shooters – Bryan is a big-bodied banger, with the chance to develop into a traditional 4. He’s coachable and plays hard. Needs to work on his agility and footwork, but with size being at such a premium, the school he attends next year has an opportunity to develop a solid prospect over the next 3 or 4 years.
Adonis Lafleur 6’0 SF Chosen Few – Lafleur reminds me of one of my favorite tough guys, Spring Valley’s Mike Martin. He is a hard-nosed wing that is going to make one of my all tough guy teams one day. A terrific rebounder, who attacks the ball off the glass.
Prince Davis 5’9 PG Vegas Elite Premiere – I love quick jitterbug PG’s. Davis certainly fits that mold. Plays the game with good pace, and does a terrific job of changing speeds and finishing around the rim.
Javares Reid 6’5 PF Hard 2 Guard – Reid is the ultimate airport player. one look at Reid in the gym, and you feel as if you should definitely know who he is. His size and length stand out amongst his peers. The 8th grader possesses a muscular frame with long arms. He will need development and to find a position, but certainly has the physical tools to be an impactful high school player.
Gregory Burrell 6’0 SG SOS Ravens – I’ve watched Burrell really develop as a player over the last few years. Good defender with a strong upper frame. He’s an athletic, physical slasher, that finishes well around the rim.
