Here are my picks…
Christian Reid Christian Reid 6'5" | SF Mater Lakes | 2024 State FL – Mater Lakes Academy (PH. 17)
I think Christian Reid Christian Reid 6'5" | SF Mater Lakes | 2024 State FL could in the top 12 or so after his sophomore season. The 6-foot-4 guard/forward has a mature frame for his age. Reid seems to utilize his size on the floor. I think his is where he has an edge. Reid averaged 15.8 points and nearly nine boards per game over at SLAM Miami. I look forward to watching him develop with the Bears. Watch out for Ralph Blanc Ralph Blanc 6'5" | SF Mater Lakes | 2024 FL (No. 61) as well. He should also be with the Bears after playing for SLAM. Blanc is a 6-foot-5 forward with long arms and good potential. Given his frame, his placement could have him moving up in short time.
Amare Sanders Amare Sanders 6'2" | CG Gulliver Prep | 2024 FL – Gulliver Prep (PH. 37)
Amare Sanders Amare Sanders 6'2" | CG Gulliver Prep | 2024 FL is a solid guard with good size (6’2) for Gulliver Prep. I’ve watched him a few times and come away impressed with his handle and vision on the floor. I think he’s playing on a hungry team under new head coach Ray Allen. Sanders should continue to grow and fill out to be a complete guard. I would not be surprised if he moves up closer to top 25.
Stone Bureau Stone Bureau 6'0" | PG Calvary Christian Academy, Ft. Lauderdale | 2024 State FL – Suncoast (PH. 16)
Bureau has the feel of a top 10 player up in Riviera Beach. I think he’s a smooth kid with the ball and will create plays for his teammates. I’m not sure if high school basketball keeps +/-, but I think Bureau will have much more plays in the green than the red.
Kaiden Francis Kaiden Francis 6'1" | PG South Plantation | 2024 State FL – South Plantation (PH. 90)
Francis helped the Paladins to a 9-3 record last season. The near 6-foot guard has good ball skill and can score from all three levels. I like his confidence as I’ve seen him shoot from anywhere on the court. Could easily move up 25 or more spots.
Braylon Burbridge Braylon Burbridge 6'2" | PG Miami Palmetto | 2024 State FL – Miami Palmetto (PH. 42)
Burbridge is just one of those kids I like on the floor. I think he plays with confidence and poise with the ball in his hands. The 6-foot guard has a nice handle and strong first step when looking to attack. He should have plenty of opportunity with Palmetto. Burbridge could move into the top 30 or better.
Clarence Burts Clarence Burts 6'3" | CG Mater Lakes Academy | 2024 State FL – Miami Norland (PH. 36)
Burts played well down the stretch for the Vikings. The 6-foot-2 guard has good athleticism and shooting range. Burts shot 44 percent from beyond the arc. He should produce at a higher volume this season.
