Previous All-State Selections Regardless of position, these are my top ten in the city.
- Phil Nwugwo, Victor – The 6’7 forward is a true under-the-radar college prospect with tremendous potential. He is a physical forward who is too quick for bigs but too fast for guards. What makes him a tantalizing prospect is his ability to shoot it with range.
- Jackson Kulik Jackson Kulik 6'7" | SF Webster Thomas | 2022 State NY , Webster Thomas – A 6’6 Shooting Guard who understands the position. Kulik can score the ball in bunches from every spot on the floor. A member of the NYS All-State Team in 2021 is coming into his senior year ready to show why he was selected.
- James Mathews James Mathews 6'2" | PG University Prep | 2023 NY , Uprep – A 6’2 Point Guard who has a tremendous amount of upside. He scores on all three levels but be careful when he attacks the basket as Mathews plays above the rim frequently and is not afraid of challenging anyone at the rim.
- Mason Blankenburg, Wayne – A 6’2 Point Guard member of the NYS All-State Team in 2021. Mason has a very high basketball IQ and can run the pick and roll with ease. Also an outstanding shooter from deep with a phenomenal mid-range pull-up jumper.
- Kai McCullough Kai McCullough 6'3" | CG East | 2022 State NY , East – A 6’2 Guard who was also a member of the NYS All-State Team in 2021. McCullough plays the game with an unmatched motor, especially in transition, where he has the speed and agility to maneuver past any defenders.
- Myles Blackwood Myles Blackwood 6'3" | SG Aquinas Institute | 2022 State NY , Aquinas – Blackwood is a 6’3 Guard/Forward who is a very physical specimen. He is best when he’s attacking the basket and in transition, where he has the opportunity to use his athleticism and strength.
- Jack Bleier Jack Bleier 6'3" | SG Aquinas Institute | 2022 State NY , Aquinas – Bleier, a 6’4 Point Guard who shoots the ball very well from the outside, will be looking to lead his team to their first finals championship since 2016.
- Ryan Garwood, Northstar Christian Academy – Garwood enters the season as the top catch and shoot player in Rochester. Contested or uncontested Garwood will make you pay from behind the line.
- Andrew Quinn Andrew Quinn 6'4" | SG Webster Thomas | 2022 State NY , Webster Thomas – Quinn is a pure scorer, pound for pound my pick if you need a player to give you twenty and possibly thirty on any given night. Quinn can score on all three levels, and at 6’4, he is a matchup nightmare.
- Mike Morgan, Edison Tech – Morgan is an uber-athletic guard who is always in attack mode and finishes above the rim with ease. He developed a consistent 3 point shot over the summer Morgan will surprise a lot of people this season as he sneaks in as my last pick in the Top 10
