PAISAA State Tourney: 1st Rd Sleeper Prospects to Watch

Below is a review of four southeastern Pennsylvania “sleeper” prospects who will have a significant impact for their teams during the 1st Round of the Pennsylvania Independent Schools state tournament.   College coaches need to wake up and text these talented players immediately.        This quick burst point guard can score at every level or work as a pass first floor general. Carson does a fantastic job of establishing his accurate 3-point stroke in order to set up dribble drives attacks on the rim. His high IQ and court vision make Carson creative distributor. Carson's decision making in the open court is remarkable. During his senior campaign, Carson averaged 13 points per night as he helped push the Fords to a 21-win regular season. Over the last week Carson posted 25 points (3 threes; 10-11 FTAs) versus Malvern Prep as well as 16 points (2 threes) against GA.     How this polished, high IQ stretch-4 prospect remains available is a mystery. Galli is an elite shooter who can pop jumpers from all over the court. With his size and instincts, Galli can also produce points out of pick-n-roll action, in the dunker spot and via the offensive glass. Galli's solid handles and crafty moves enable him to score off the bounce too. Once he gets to the cup, Galli can finish through contact. As a bonus to his scoring, Galli is a fantastic passer and tenacious rebounder. Earlier this season, Galli poured in 35-points (5 triples) during a win over St. Andrews (RI). More recently, Galli dropped 22 points son Legacy (TX).     Recently Malvern's No. 1 option [player_tooltip player_id='2194375' first='Nick' last='Harken'] was sidelined for a few games with a thigh injury. During Harken's absence, McFadden stepped up and handled the scoring load for MP. For example, earlier this week McFadden poured in 23 points against SCH Academy. Included in that scoring outburst were two ferocious dunks that shook the basket support system. McFadden is a long, athletic, and bouncy hybrid forward who excels in transition. In the half-court, McFadden can produce points from the dunker spot or the high post. Plus, he can work the offensive glass for points. McFadden's ability to finish in close through contact is impressive. On defense, McFadden is a shot blocking machine and plus rebounder.     Rollerson's move to Academy of the New Church has paid major dividends for both parties. This season, Rollerson was able to display his incredible skill set against national level competition, and he learned to play alongside other elite prospects. Meanwhile, Rollerson helped lead ANC to the Friends School League title. Rollerson is a versatile and skilled guard who stuffed the stat book every night this season. For instance, in the FSL championship game Rollerson scored 20 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and dished out 5 assists. Back in January at the Hoop Hall Classic tourney, Rollerson posted 21.5 points and 4.5 assists per game. At the other end of the court, Rollerson is a menacing on-ball defender who is willing to guard for 94-feet.
