South Florida Draft Lottery

<p>The NBA Draft is coming up on June 23rd. I thought it be fun to select 14 of the best returning prospects in South Florida. That number is based on the number of teams in the draft lottery. This list is based on future potential as well as current success.</p> <p>This list is in no particular order.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1301714" first="Cameron" last="Boozer"] - Miami Columbus</p> <p>Duke, Florida State, Michigan and Miami have already offered the 6-foot-9 power forward. When you average a double-double and shoot 40 percent from three, are there any other questions?</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1301705" first="Alexander" last="Lloyd"] - Westminster Academy</p> <p>Might be the most exciting two-way player in South Florida. The 6-foot-4 prospect averaged 23.7 points per game and shot 40 percent from three as a freshman. Lloyd recently earned an offer from the Seminoles.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1301718" first="Shon" last="Abaev"] - Miami Country Day</p> <p>Might be the best outside shooter in South Florida. The 6-foot-6 Abaev averaged 21 points per game and hit three or more 3-pointers in 15 games. Abaev might be at a new school in the fall. Stay tuned.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="709228" first="Carl" last="Cherenfant"] - Calvary Christian Academy</p> <p>The best senior prospect on this list. The 6-foot-4 guard is a two-time state champion and four-star recruit. Cherenfant is an athletic, long guard that excels playing downhill. He recently took an official visit to St. John’s. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="709227" first="Jaylen" last="Carey"] - Westminster Academy</p> <p>Carey has as much upside as any prospect in the region. The 6-foot-8 power forward averaged 17.7 points and 12.3 rebounds per game. His power inside the paint is almost impossible to contain.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1055745" first="Marcus" last="Allen"] - Miami Norland</p> <p>Allen is the best rising junior in South Florida. The 6-foot-7 prospect averaged 18.2 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. Allen has plenty of athleticism to guard an opponents 1-4. He holds offers from Florida Gulf Coast, Miami, Florida State, and others.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1301715" first="Cayden" last="Boozer"] - Miami Columbus</p> <p>The Explorers went 29-2 and won the Class 7A state championship for a reason. The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 16.6 points, 5.1 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1055711" first="Jordyn" last="Kee"] - Dillard</p> <p>Might be the best rising junior in Broward County. Kee recently picked up offers from Florida State and Missouri. He averaged 14.4 points per game.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1310859" first="Mister" last="Dean"] - Miami Southridge</p> <p>One of the top seniors in Miami-Dade County. Dean averaged over 21 points per game. He holds an offer from Bryant University.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1301736" first="Dwayne" last="Wimbley"] Jr. - Dillard</p> <p>Hard to defend against a 6-foot-5 guard with solid size. Wimbley Jr. recently earned an offer from Florida State. He averaged 15.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1055719" first="Christian" last="Reid"] - Mater Lakes Academy</p> <p>I think the combination of Reid’s talent and the Bears’ potential earns him a spot here. The 6-foot-4 guard/forward averaged 16 points and 10.8 rebounds per game while shooting 59 percent from the field. Reid is very strong and explosive in open space.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="709245" first="Jasai" last="Miles"] - Miami Country Day</p> <p>Miles is a tough shooting guard to contain offensively.  The 6-foot-6 prospect can score at the basket and connect from outside. Miles averaged over 18 points per game and shot 35 percent from deep.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="955591" first="Justin" last="Johnson"] - Doral Academy</p> <p>Johnson is an elite two-way prospect at the high school level. The 6-foot-8 guard/forward averaged 22.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. Johnson holds offers from Florida Gulf Coast and Georgetown.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1053915" first="Stone" last="Bureau"] - Suncoast</p> <p>I could go a bunch of different ways in Palm Beach County. [player_tooltip player_id="1053915" first="Stone" last="Bureau"] has been active this summer and has heard from schools such as Dayton, North Florida and UCF. The 6-foot point guard averaged 13.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. Bureau is very explosive on offense and defense coming out of the backcourt.</p> <p>For any South Florida Prep Hoops news or information...please contact Michael Costeines @Steins_23 on Instagram or follow him on Twitter @Mungertown_Mike23.</p>
