Daniel Blake Watson
Daniel Blake Watson
A strong bodied guard. Does some really nice work on the boards . Mixes it up well a lot of times being undersized. But uses his strength to get loose balls. Can muscle his way into the lane and finish through contact.
Fred Diogene

You don’t have to look any further then this game to understand Fred’s game. 15 rebounds for an undersized player. He is also a shot blocker an earlier game I saw him at he had 3 blocks 2 of them were on successive possessions. He does this regularly. Strong body very determined hard working player. He can shoot it and go get it, on the high post catch has a quick spin off his left shoulder and drives to score.
Very quick hands when guarding the ball. Can get into the lane with his dribble and finish as he initiates the contact. Real nice crossover into a shot or drive. Has shown a floater in the lane. Will drive the ball stop on a dime and shoot a deadly step back mid range jumper.
With the unfortunate injury to possible Poy in Suffolk Patrick Burke Patrick Burke 6’6″ | SF Smithtown West | 2023 State NY , Jack will have to be the man the rest of the way. No reason why he shouldn’t be able to lead West. He was an important piece all season long . Put up 18 ppg. He is a string driver. Can finish through contact. Draws fouls. Has a quick release on his jumper.
Chris McHugh
Chris McHugh
Really hard worker. Relentless on the boards. Defends really well, on or off the ball. Does all the things you need to win games. Mixes it up on the boards. Has a nice mid range jumper.
Averaged 24 ppg this season. He is a flat out scoring machine. He is a bull getting into the lane and finishing. Elevates well on his jumper. He is just plain and simple a bucket maker. Had 4 threes vs Northport but his game his driving the ball . Outstanding in transition.
Andrew Miller
Andrew Miller
Andrew had 19 in this game vs Bellport. He averaged 14 ppg during the season. A consistent player. He finds holes in the defense. Positions himself to get the ball and a play. A 3 sport captain will be attending West Point to play Lacrosse.
