First Look: Brooklyn Collegiate Lions

<p>Brooklyn Collegiate has been one of the top teams in the tough Brooklyn AA Division. Over the years, Brooklyn Collegiate has produced many college basketball players at all levels. They have had to replace a lot of key players so Prep Hoops definitely wanted to check them out to see how they look in the Pre-Season. Thanks to Coach Malcolm and staff. </p> <p>Dayjon Anderson- 5’10 (2023): Dayjon is a crafty ball handler with good vision of the court and the ability to penetrate to get to the basket. His shot is a work in progress, but he is learning to play at different speeds which will help him out in the long run. Dayjon is a great passer as he led last season in the PSAL in assist. One to look out for. </p> <p>Flavio Jean- 6’0 (2025): Flavio is a young and talented player who is one of the top young prospects in the city. He is a good ball handler and has good vision of the court. He knocks down open shots with ease. His in-between game is fluid. Expect to see great things from this player. </p> <p>Jayden Johnson- 6’0 (2023): Jayden is a lefty point guard with good length and good handle. He is able to get in the paint well to score or pass. Solid I.Q., good defender and able to hit the open shot. Jayden has room to grow but definitely keep an eye out on this player.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1047366" first="Trey" last="Skeete"]-6’0 (2022): Trey is a high academic student athlete who competes on every play. He has decent handle, defends the ball well and confident hitting an open shot. All around great kid. Solid D2-D3 player. </p> <p>Tori Babs- 6’4 (2025): Tori is a young and athletic with a high ceiling. One of the young top prospects in the Brooklyn Area. Tori plays with a high motor and his game is evolving and an intriguing prospect who is worth a look. </p> <p>Jamal Smith- 6’3 (2022): Jamal is a high energy player. He doesn’t take any plays off. He is very athletic and a good defender. Shot is improving and capable ball handling skills. </p> <p>Ernest Carolina-6’4 (2023): Ernest is a lefty wing player that has a good feel for the game. He is not overly athletic but he finds ways to finish in traffic. He is a decent shooter and he uses his length on defense very well. </p> <p>Zaquan Jones 6’4 (2022): ZaQuan is a high major athlete and has a college ready body. He rebounds the ball on both ends of the floor. His ball handling has improved and his jump shot is looking better. He is an excellent weak-side defender using his athleticism for shot blocking and ZaQuan can defend multiple positions. D1 and D2 coaches should keep an eye on ZaQuan.</p> <p>Yadier Catedral-6’8 (2022): Long and wiry and uses his length to block and alter shots. Form on his jump shot is solid. </p> <p>Romero Clarke-6’6 (2022): Romero is an undersized post player. He is a banger in the post on offense and uses his size well. He has a soft touch on the jump shot and rebounds well.  </p> <p>Looking forward to seeing Brooklyn Collegiate in the regular season. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
