Certified Buckets: The Scorers

The game has many facets — some players focus on defense, others excel at rebounding, some provide energy and intensity, and then there are the players whose primary role is to score. These are the guys you can count on to put points on the board when it matters most.     A relative unknown a few months ago, Levingston's stock is soaring. He has the size, athleticism, and skill to be a top player in the 2028 class.  He's a bucket-getter who excels at attacking the rim.  An injury was the only thing that slowed him down during a recent five-game stretch where he led his team in scoring each game.     A top-five player in the 2028 class, Wilson has elevated his game since returning to Rayville. He's been a problem on the 3SSB circuit, attracting national attention.  Long and skilled, he's a constant in the top-five conversation and could climb even higher.  His three-point shooting and mid-range pull-up make him one of the state's most intriguing prospects.  Coaches seeking scorers that are equally effective facilitating should take note.     Bordelon put on an offensive clinic in Ruston, showcasing his inside-out game.  Previously a complementary player, he demonstrated his full skillset, establishing himself as one to watch.  He's a physical player who uses his strength and excellent footwork to get to the rim, while also knocking down threes with ease. Bordelon possesses the skills college coaches covet and can surely earn a roster spot at the next level.     Dillard, now in a new uniform, remains a top 2027 player in the state.  At 6'5" (or possibly taller), he's a smooth scorer who gets to his spots effortlessly.  As a key player on a championship-contending Bossier team, he'll be on the big stage all season.  Dillard is an elite scorer and a name for coaches to remember. He has the size and style for college play, combining shiftiness with a scorer's mentality. His ability to score at all three levels makes him fun to watch.     Salsberry is a scoring threat who works hard for his buckets, displaying a knack for putting the ball in the basket. He's one to watch in the 2028 class as his role increases at New Living Word this season. He's shown flashes of potential and could be poised for a breakout year.  His ability to create his own shot and finish at the rim will be key for New Living Word's success.
