Here is part two of standouts from the New England 250 Expo. Shawn O'neil, High School Trinity, HT 5'8, Class 2025, Position PG Shawn had a really good day at the expo. He is an athletic and quick guard. He gets to his spots quickly, and efficiently. He does not try to do to much. He showed his scoring and passing skills. He is a true Point Guard, and is the type of player that players want to have on their team. [player_tooltip player_id='1578491' first='Amir' last='Panagiotis'], High School ST Andrews, Class 2025, HT 6'0, Position G Amir was on my radar going into the event, and he did not disappoint. At the Expo he showed his quick first step, and his abilities to pull up, or finish at the rim with his variety of finishing moves. Amir is a skilled guard, that can control the pace of the game. [player_tooltip player_id='1578530' first='Jacob' last='Purington'], High School Berwick Academy, HT 6'8, Class 2025, Position Center Jacob is a strong built 6'8 center. He showed his abilities to stretch the floor and shoot the three. He had 5 threes in one game. He even started the fast break a few times taking the ball up the floor off a rebound. He also showed his inside skills, posting up, grabbing rebounds and defending down low. Jacob has a 4.0 GPA. I think he would be a great fit at a high academic division three school. If you coach at that level and are reading this, I recommend you watch him play. Tyler Jordan, High School Windham (NH), Class 2026, HT 6'2, Position G Tyler is a three level scorer. He can shoot the three, get to the rim, and set his teammates up. He did a little bit of everything at the Expo. He also defended well without fouling. [player_tooltip player_id='2171760' first='Jaron' last='LaBranche'], High School Newmarket, HT 6'0, Position G, Class 2025. Being the first time I saw Jaron play, he was definitely added to my radar following the Expo. He is a tough player. He was aggressive, and has some tough finishes through contact. He got a couple of rebounds that he put back for second chance points as well. Jaron was solid on both sides of the floor. He is a hustler, and does important things that don't show up on the stat sheet.
