As I mentioned, I will leave off preseason player selections for this list.
This region is a bit tougher to predict as it had a great 2021 class. New players will emerge, but some are still unproven.
Here are my picks…
Juwan Dawes Juwan Dawes 6'3" | CG Dwyer | 2022 State FL / Xavier Scott Xavier Scott 5'11" | CG Dwyer | 2022 State FL Jr. – Dwyer
Two athletic players here for a top tier program. Dawes is a 6-foot-4 wing that averaged 10.5 points and 5.4 rebounds as a junior. This kid can run the floor and has plenty of moves when he gets near the rim. 2022 Xavier Scott Xavier Scott 5'11" | CG Dwyer | 2022 State FL Jr. is a 6-foot point guard that averaged 8.1 points, 3.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game as a junior. I mention both of these prospects because I expect increased roles this season.
Gavin Aydelotte Gavin Aydelotte 6'11" | C Benjamin | 2023 State FL – Benjamin
2023 Gavin Aydelotte Gavin Aydelotte 6'11" | C Benjamin | 2023 State FL is a must here for the potential factor. The 6-foot-10 power forward has the obvious height and is increasing his athleticism. Aydelotte will continue to improve in the post with different moves and get stronger. I have little doubt he will be a dominant post player. Watch out and see if ranges out as well.
Caleb Mackrey Caleb Mackrey 6'2" | CG Olympic Heights | 2022 State FL – Olympic Heights
2022 Caleb Mackrey Caleb Mackrey 6'2" | CG Olympic Heights | 2022 State FL is a good player for Olympic Heights. The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 12.4 points, 3.7 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game as a junior. Moreover, Mackrey helped the Boca Raton program to a 13-3 record. He played well over the summer and in local fall leagues. Mackrey should ride that momentum to a big season.
Jeremiah Augustin Jeremiah Augustin 6'5" | SF Jupiter Christian | 2023 FL – Jupiter Christian
2023 Jeremiah Augustin Jeremiah Augustin 6'5" | SF Jupiter Christian | 2023 FL is a football and basketball player for Jupiter Christian. At 6-foot-6, he has a lot to work with as a wing player. Augustin averaged 8.7 points and 6.5 rebounds per game (three offensive) as a sophomore. He has more than enough length and athleticism to averaged 8-10 boards per game. Could be a major player to watch as he begins his junior year.
