Capable of going for 30 points or getting 10 assists on any given night, he's the type of guard that opponents struggle to stay in front of. His quick first step, ability to handle in tight spaces, and deep range on his jumper makes him a threat to score from multiple levels. On the other end, he's a pest on the ball, using his quick hands to create steals and deflections.   #2 Bourne (17-3)   Nathan Reynolds - The 6'6" big man is a throwback post player that provides Bourne with an interior presence on both ends of the floor. He broke the school's career scoring record this winter and is a 20-10 threat every time he takes the floor. He sets great screens, is a strong roller to the rim, and has terrific hands that allows him to catch anything thrown his way. He has soft touch as a finisher in the paint and shows good vision as a passer out of the post. Defensively, he's an anchor in the post that cleans up on the defensive glass.   #3 Clinton (19-1)   Davis Lunn - A 20 point per game scorer for Clinton, Lunn has the ability to get timely baskets from all three levels. He's had multiple games this winter where he's made 4+ threes, showing the ability to get his shot off with the ball in his hands or as an off ball mover. He does a good job of using screens to get open and leverages his shooting to open up driving lanes, showing he has good vision as a passer off the bounce. Defensively, he guards two spots in the back-court, keeps opponents out of the paint, and battles on the glass.   #4 Millbury (16-6)   Jimmer Donnelly - A game changing shooter from behind the arc, Donnelly provides Millbury with a scorer that can change the momentum of a game. He gets his feet set quickly, squares up on the catch, and has a high quick release on his jumper. He runs the floor well, finding open passing lanes in transition, and can make shots from well behind the arc. He has multiple games this winter with 3+ made threes and gets them in a variety of ways, including running off screens. On the other end, he has the ability to defend in space and rebound in traffic.   #5 Monument Mountain (18-2)   [player_tooltip player_id='2547059' first='Griffin' last='McElroy'] - A floor spacer and high level defender, McElroy provides Monument Mountain with a third scorer in the backcourt and someone who can get them 15 points a night. He's a high IQ defender that makes plays off the ball and does a nice job of generating offense in transition. Offensively, he runs the floor hard, gets himself to the corners, and is consistently shot ready on the catch. His shooting opens up driving lanes and he's a strong driver with the ball in his hands.   #6 Georgetown (14-6)   Jack Duggan - A perimeter scorer that consistently knocks down threes, Duggan has been a standout all winter for Georgetown. A good mover without the basketball, he runs hard in transition and moves into open passing lanes off of drives. He shows his hands, squares up quickly, and has a high release on his shot. His ability to shoot it allows him to make plays off the bounce and he's proven to be a willing ball mover and someone who runs hard off screens. Defensively, he moves his feet well and guards multiple positions.   #7 Lunenburg (15-5)   [player_tooltip player_id='2875625' first='Vinny' last='Dellasanta'] - With good size on the wing and the ability to make shots from the perimeter, Dellasanta fills a variety of roles for Lunenburg. He has a good frame, long arms, and the ability to be disruptive on the defensive end of the floor, making plays with a high basketball IQ. Offensively, he reads what the defense gives him, moves the ball quickly, and can finish plays at the rim. His ability to stretch the floor is a standout skill and with talent around him, he opens up the paint for his teammates to score at the rim.   #8 Lynn Vo-Tech (12-8)   Giovanni Jean - A shifty lead guard that knows how to keep a defense off balance, Jean has the keys to the offense for Lynn Vo-Tech. He's a crafty paint scorer that can finish with either hand and utilizies hesitations and euro-steps to get into the paint and past the defender. He draws fouls at a high clip, can make shots from behind the arc, and has great vision both in transition and in the half-court. Defensively, he's not afraid to guard in the open floor and does a good job of moving laterally to keep opposing ball-handlers in front of him.
