Sean Craig Sean Craig 6'6" | PF Sylvania Northview | 2022 State OH (2022) F 6’6. Sylvania Northview
Craig was dominant in the second game of the day. He was named MVP of the game and deservedly so, as he scored 30 points and at least 10 rebounds. He relentlessly attacked the glass and finished multiple tough layups with both hands. Craig showed he is a three-level with his post presence, great jab pull-up game, and hit multiple threes. He can also handle it well and is an underrated passer. I believe Craig will be a good stretch four for the University of Indianapolis.
Sam Lee (2022) F 6’6. Toledo Central Catholic
Sam Lee was named game MVP over Fairview Park with his second half domination in the paint. His length and athleticism gave him multiple rebounds, both offensively and defensively, and allowed him to alter or block almost every layup. Then the Irish decided to feed him as he posted very hard and strong against the smaller Fairview Park team. Made quick and simple moves when he got the ball and finish with both hands. He has the difference in the game because of his domination.
Ayden Carter Ayden Carter 6'4" | SG Fremont Ross | 2023 State OH (2023) G 6’3. Fremont Ross
Ayden Carter Ayden Carter 6'4" | SG Fremont Ross | 2023 State OH is a PLAYER. He is 6’3 athletic wing with a very long wingspan. He has a good build but it to needs be added to. Has great bounce and attacks the glass hard to help his team in the rebounds. He is a nicely skilled player. He knows how to put the ball in the basket, as he finished the game with 22 points. His jumper is the question mark in his game because of its inconsistency. Carter has had a break season for Fremont Ross and I’m looking forward to seeing how he develops because his potential is sky-high.
Zander Sabin Zander Sabin 5'9" | PG Massillon Pery | 2023 State OH (2023) PG 5’9. Tuscarawas Central Catholic
Zander Sabin Zander Sabin 5'9" | PG Massillon Pery | 2023 State OH was my favorite player that I saw all day. He is someone that is easy to love by the way he plays the game. He is a fierce competitor, tough, and a leader – both by example and vocally. He is a high energy kid with a lot of swagger and confidence. Sabin has unbelievable quickness, shiftiness, and a tight handle on the ball. He has an extremely effective very wide right to left crossover that reminded me of Allen Iverson’s. Sabin has a great stroke as well, hitting multiple tough jumpers and pull-ups all night. He is also a great passer. His vision and ability to draw the defense in gave his teammates easy buckets all night long.
Michael Greenlee Michael Greenlee 5'10" | PG Toledo Central Catholic | 2023 State OH Jr (2023) PG 5’11. Toledo Central Catholic
Michael Greenlee Michael Greenlee 5'10" | PG Toledo Central Catholic | 2023 State OH jr is a very smooth, quick, and skilled point guard. Greenlee jr is 5’11 and a very skinny guard but his skill is through the roof. He has a great right and left finishing ability. He has unbelievable pace to his game. He can also change his pace very quickly. He runs the offense great by getting to the spot he wants and ability to keep his head up against pressure. His shooting is the question mark to his game, but he did ice the game at the free throw line for the Irish.
