Zach Davis, 6’5 F – Colchester H.S. Class of 2024
With Davis’ combination of size, shooting and passing, he’s a tough matchup. Zach as deep range and is a great reader of defensive coverage, able to shake free from his defender in a number of ways. Moreover, he sees the floor well and can facilitate from the wing or the post. Lastly, Zach holds down the paint with tough rim protection and physicality on the glass. Such solid game.
Joseph Buxton, 6’5 W – Green Mountain Select/Fair Haven Union H.S. Class of 2024
A modern swingman, Buxton’s all-around game brings a lot to the table. Joe’s an adept passer and orchestrator from the wing, able to make plays in either position in the pnr and set guys up with his passing. Buxton hits the 3 and is a crafty slasher too. Yet he’s happy to muscle down low in the post, hit the glass on both ends and defend forwards and wings alike. His communication on both ends rounds out his varied skillset.
Grant Cieplicki Grant Cieplicki 6'5" | SF Rice Memorial | 2025 State NLG , 6’4 W – VT Elite/Rice Memorial H.S. Class of 2025
Grant’s feel, IQ, instincts, whatever you want to call it, are some of the best in the state. Cieplicki has sound court vision, reading actions and defensive coverage naturally and making plays as a passer, screener, or receiver. Plus, he’s a knockdown shooter from 3 and the mid-range. Defensively sly and physical, Grant’s an exceptional help defender and a rebounder who can push it himself. Tough.
Hayden Boivin, 6’5 W – NC Falcons/North Country Union H.S. Class of 2025
With Boivin we have someone who’s game has evolved from being strictly a post player to an inside/out type guy. He’s proven all summer that his 3-ball is legit, and his handle tells me he’s worked hard on his guard skills. Yet he hasn’t lost touch with that post prowess. He’ll still head to the block and bang down low, snatch boards at a high clip and protect the rim. Hayden’s versatility is exciting to see bloom.
Atif Milak, 6’7 F – Green Mountain Select/Montpelier H.S. Class of 2025
Checking in with an old school big here. Atif utilizes his height and positive wingspan to control the interior. Milak is a stringy rim protector who covers ground fairly quickly to challenge shots at the rim. Moreover, he’s an avid rebounder who keeps his hands high for second chance buckets or quick outlets. We’ll see what he adds to his game this summer.
