Xavier Lewis Xavier Lewis 5'8" | PG Half Hollow Hills East | 2022 State NY . 5”9. 2022. Half Hollow Hills East HS
Extremely quick. A scorer from all three levels. Excellent range from beyond the arc. Terrific pull-up jumper. Has developed a lethal floater in the lane. A top Long Island player to watch this coming season

5”8. 2024. Deer Park HS
A scoring point guard. A tremendous scorer who distributes the ball just as well. A floor general. Excellent handle and vision. Will be another one of the major talents on Long Island this coming season.
Jamir Stewart 5”10. 2022 Baldwin HS
A smooth player. Tremendous scoring guard. Lights out shooter from three. Sees the floor in transition and is excellent at distributing the ball in half-court sets. Should be a big-time player in Nassau county this coming season.
Kamren Denhart 5”10. 2022. Sewanaka HS
Watch this player next season. When he gets going he is hard to stop. A pure scorer from either elbow. Very creative with the ball. Scores in a variety of ways.
Chris Cherry 5”11. 2022. Sewanaka HS
Finishes in transition as good as anybody I saw on Long Island. Can use either hand with his teardrop in the lane.
Matt Garside 5”11. 2023. Kings Park HS
Excellent skill set. High basketball IQ. Tremendous shooter. Excellent rotation and a fluid release.
Derek Varlack 5”11. 2022 Half Hollow Hills East HS
A really good passer from the point position. Outstanding court vision. Excellent mid-range game. Can get his own shot off but is even better with shooting off the catch.
Matt Amitrano 6”0. 2023 Oceanside HS
Very smart point guard. Excellent shooter. Creates for others. Knows how to play the position. Makes the right play. Capable of getting in the lane.
