Risers: Palm Beach County

<p style="text-align: left;">Names in the 561 continue to rise.</p> <p>The county should be well represented after some big-time prospects left last season. I am interested to see how things shake out and what team separates itself from the area.</p> <p>For now, the summer season has treated the following names well. Let's look into the names below.</p> <p><strong>Charlie May</strong> - <em>St. Andrew’s</em></p> <p>2022 Charlie May has been making a name for himself playing for the <strong>Triple</strong> <strong>Double Tarheels</strong>. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard averaged 14.6 points and 7.5 rebounds over five games at the <strong>VEA Hoop Series</strong>/<strong>Prep Hoops</strong> circuit event in Indianapolis. A few days ago, May scored 24 points and grabbed eight rebounds against <strong>Nona Basketball Academy</strong>. He seems to have grown since completing his junior year with the Scots. His high-level rebounding and overall scoring ability has been impressive. May could be a breakthrough candidate along with 2022 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="955602" first="Anquan" last="Boldin Jr"].</strong> for St. Andrew’s. The athletic Boldin just earned an offer from <strong>Albany State</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Zayin Humber</strong> - <em>Wellington</em></p> <p>2022 Zayin Humber is also looking strong for the Triple Double Tarheels. The 6-foot-5 guard averaged 14.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists over five games at the VEA Hoop Series showcase. His size and shooting ability makes him a deadly threat on the floor. Humber scored 15 points and went 4-of-5 from deep against the <strong>Oklahoma Chaos</strong>. He has a big opportunity to shine this fall with 2021’s <strong>Christopher Walker</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="953071" first="Jordan" last="Johnson"],</strong> and <strong>Will</strong> <strong>VanHook</strong> graduating. Humber averaged 4.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game as a junior. He is also a great student with a 3.7 GPA.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1065431" first="Michael" last="Kalina"]</strong> - North Broward Prep</p> <p>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1065431" first="Michael" last="Kalina"] has been a prospect I have mentioned in the past. I would go as far to say he is underrated in the scope of South Florida basketball. As a junior, Kalina averaged 14.2 points, five rebounds and 4.2 assists per game while shooting 45 percent from the floor. He is a 6-foot-1 point guard with strong vision and playmaking ability. Kalina dished out 7.8 assists over five games at the VEA Hoop Series. Moreover, he can score and rebound at a high rate for his position. Kalina deserves a watch heading into his final season. </p> <p><strong>Michael Cooper</strong> - <em>Forest Hill</em></p> <p>2022 Michael Cooper is an athletic guard playing his fall days up at Forest Hill. Right now, the 6-foot guard is showcasing his skill for <strong>Ball4Lyfe</strong>. Cooper handles the ball well and has a nice shot. He shot 48 percent from three while averaging 11.8 points per game as a junior. Moreover, Cooper knocked down a pair of 3-pointers in eight of ten games played. He should have a big season with Forest Hill losing 2021’s <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="818698" first="Donovan" last="Draper"]</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="953081" first="Jalen" last="Jeter"]</strong>.</p> <p><strong><em>For any South Florida Prep Hoops news or information...please contact Michael Costeines @Steins_23 on Instagram or follow him on Twitter @Mungertown_Mike23.</em></strong></p>
