Preseason All 757 Candidates (Part 2)

With the high school season right around the corner, we will take a look at some preseason All area teams, focusing on the different parts of the state. Here's a look at part two of some of the players we think could be on the All Hampton Roads (or 757) teams.   [player_tooltip player_id='1403954' first='Jalen' last='Milt'] | 6'3” WG | Norview '23   Milt has quietly become one of the top players in the 757 over the past few years, and the 6'3” off guard is a guy who can put up big numbers this season as he'll be the go-to guy for the Pilots. He's an aggressive attacking wing who thrives in transition and is an athletic finisher, he can get hot and make shots in succession and score it in bunches and he stays in attack mode and looks to score it whether he's on or off the ball.   [player_tooltip player_id='1259838' first='Paul' last='Jones'] | 6'2” CG | Churchland '24   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/Jones-Paul-CBG-1-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/Jones-Paul-CBG-1-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1602908"/></a></figure>   Jones has a chance to be the breakout player in the 757 this year, as he's coming off a big summer and fall and has improved immensely with that. He's a highly skilled combo who plays at a different cadence allowing him to get to spots and score it from multiple levels, he can drill it from deep or in the midrange off the catch or off the bounce and he is a big time finisher above the rim in transition and when crashing the glass.   [player_tooltip player_id='1260001' first='Ben' last='Nacey'] | 6'8” C | Cox '24   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/Nacey-Ben.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/Nacey-Ben-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1478559"/></a></figure>   Nacey will have a chance at winning Beach District Player of the Year this year for many reasons, one of them being there aren't many bigs that can match up with his size in the paint. He's a bruising 6'8” big who works hard in the paint and is very effective sealing and gathering tough entry passes, he has great touch around the rim with both hands, he crashes the glass hard for extra opportunities and he hits his free throws which is key because he'll likely get fouled a lot.   [player_tooltip player_id='1494102' first='Kareem' last='Stagg'] | 6'8” PF | Oscar Smith '25   Stagg is the best 2025 prospect in the 757 and one of the top in the state, and the way he's been improving I fully expect him to start to garner national attention pretty soon. He's an elite level defender with long arms and good timing and explosion to block shots in the paint, he runs the floor hard and is starting to play above the rim in the half court and in transition and his offensive game is starting to come along with good touch in the paint and in the midrange.   Kosi Mgbejiofor | 6'11” C | Catholic '26   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/Mgbeijiofor-Kosi-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/Mgbeijiofor-Kosi-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1589497"/></a></figure>   Another very impressive young big man prospect, Mgbejiofor has all of the tools to be a high level nationally ranked player as you don't see many players his size move and jump like him regardless of age, let alone from a rising freshman. He runs the floor like a guard and moves his feet well laterally, he blocks and dunks everything in the paint and he impacts the game just with his presence but his high motor is what makes him so productive on both ends of the floor.   Styles Clemmons | 6'0” PG | Princess Anne '26   While usually I wouldn't put multiple freshmen in a list like this, Clemmons has shown already that he will be an absolute force in the Beach District and the way he scores the ball he'll have a chance to put up big numbers this year. He's a naturally quick and shifty guard that can create space off the bounce and get in the lane with ease, he has an offensive package that is well beyond his years and he makes difficult shots consistently and he has a swagger and mindset you don't find from many rising freshmen guards.
