Then on Friday night, I watched a big-time OCC – Ohio as New Albany got a tough-fought win over Westerville Central, 54-46. This article will cover the Top Seniors I saw in these games.
After watching him for the first time Tuesday night, Watters has turned me into a big fan. His size and skillset combination is perfect. He is listed as 6’6 and is a big body strong kid who can easily play forward but instead, he plays more of a guard. Great wide frame. He handles the ball well and has great court vision with the ball in his hands. He can find open teammates and reads the defense correctly every time. Watters is a sniper as well. He has good range and with his height, he needs no space to get it off. With his size, he also gets to the rim consistently. There he can do even more damage against the defense. Watters is a matchup nightmare. Next-level player!
Highlights
Nash did not start the game off hot but as any good player, they will get it going at some point. He got it going in the second half led the charge of a comeback effort and started the second half with a game-winning mentality. This kid has a strong build and a big body that allows him to be a force and tough to stop from getting to the rim. He got to the rim a lot which allowed him to get easy points at the free throw line. He has a good jumper and he is not afraid to shoot from a distance. He has unlimited range, which opens up the court for himself and his teammates. He is an attack-first and aggressive scorer.
Highlights
Brown is a kid with a great foundation that can be built into an empire. He has everything you want from a modern-day big. He is tall and extremely long with good coordination and athleticism. He knows how to play the game and his role very well. He gets his hand all over the ball in the paint. He is affecting or blocking shots and then cleaning up on the glass. He got to the rim often when he grabbed rebounds. He played huge in the 4th quarter and OT in his game Friday night. He played stronger and tougher at the end. He would not be denied getting rebounds and second-chance points.
