There is plenty of athletic talent here for many of them to land somewhere. In my opinion, the South Florida should garner more attention.
Let’s put a spotlight on another group.
Please click here for part one.
Michael Cooper – Forest Hill
2022 Michael Cooper is as athletic as any player in Palm Beach County. The 6-foot-1 guard flies in the open floor and handles the ball well in the halfcourt. Cooper uses his athleticism well to find open spaces off the dribble. From there, his launch and body control above the rim at his size is effective. Cooper is a tough kid when faced with contact. I think he should just keep working on his shot to the perimeter. Cooper averaged 19.7 points while shooting 60 percent from the floor. He has upside and could flourish in years ahead.
Lionel Swaby Lionel Swaby 6'7" | PF Norland | 2022 State FL – Miami Norland
I think 2022 Lionel Swaby Lionel Swaby 6'7" | PF Norland | 2022 State FL has a lot to offer, especially on the defensive end of the floor. He’s north of 6-foot-7 and averaged 6.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game. Swaby can rebound and move well at his size. He had over 30 blocks and nine games with nine or more boards. I think Swaby could be very valuable in a rotation. He also scored in double-figures in four games, so don’t sleep on his offensive upside.
Ryan Richardson Ryan Richardson 6'4" | CG Miami Country Day | 2022 State FL – Miami Country Day
Ryan Richardson Ryan Richardson 6'4" | CG Miami Country Day | 2022 State FL was a nice shot maker for Miami Country Day. The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 12.9 points and 5.8 rebounds per game while shooting 46 percent from the field. In addition, Richardson went 39-of-104 (38 percent) from deep. Against Belen Jesuit (19-7), Richardson scored 18 points and grabbed a season-high 13 boards. He also went 3-of-4 from deep. Richardson also scored 16 points and hit four 3-pointers against Cypress Bay (23-6). He was consistent as an offensive player with 17 games in double-figures. Unless someone reached out, Richardson would be a great pickup.
Macius Trowe – Boca Raton
Somebody should be looking at Macius Trowe. The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 20.2 points and 8.9 boards per game while shooting 56 percent from the field. Trowe also shot 79 percent from the free-throw line. Moreover, I think he will get even better from the stripe. Trowe can put the ball on the floor while using his length to get to the basket. The more Trowe can stretch to the outside, the better he will be. I think his basketball skill and physical development gives him a lot of potential.
