Snyder is a true sleeper to place on the radar. The 6’7 freshman, has a lot of skills, including the ability to be productive both inside the paint and on the perimeter. He’s scored in double figures in every game of the season, all while shooting 40% from behind the arc.
Peterson is making a case for the All Snipers list, the sharpshooter, has been accurate from distance at an over than 44% rate. He’s a knockdown shooter in catch and shoot, that can impact games with his three point shooting ability, evident by his 19 point performance against North Valleys.
I was disapointed, I didn’t see Williams when I was in Reno for the Wild West Shootout. The freshman wing has been productive this season. In addition to his scoring, his helped the Miners on the defensive end, with his quick hands and instincts. He’s had some big games this year, including a two game stretch that saw him score 35 points and make 10 threes.
Considering the circumstances, Thomas has had one of the most impressive debut season. The PG plays against the highest level of regional competition, all while fighting for minutes for the state champs, and perhaps the deepest backcourt in the state. In spite of this he has earned quality minutes and provided tangible production averaging over 7 points per game.
Highlights
Bright may have the bightest futures of any of the young Patriot bigs. He has size and knows how to score around the basket. Mutch like Thomas, he’s competing for minutes on one of the best programs in the state. Despite that he’s managed to contribute when given the opportunity, grabbing rebounds and providing interior defense.
Highlights
Coleman has shown flashes of some serious talent. The long, skilled wing has provided perimeter depth to a DP squad with playoff aspirations. In addition to his defense and intangibles, Coleman has shown that he can score the basketball at the varsity level, evident by his 13 point performance against Cimarron.
