Mr. Pickem Grissom Top 12 NELA: Part TWO

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In keeping with the holiday spirit and the new hoops season the first week is in full swing and we are going to spotlight top players and teams in each community. In part two of the Top 12 NELA we are going to take a look at some more of our top players in the Northeast. Keep in mind, we are not touching Shreveport/Bossier/Minden, but that could be coming in the near future!!!!!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1679469"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6920d0c46a5ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The senior southpaw is perhaps the best shooter in the area and maybe in the state. He has an uncanny ability to get off tough shots and is shooting automatic when left open. He also has next level IQ, which leads him to creating assist opportuntities whenthe shot isnt falling. After sitting out a season due to transfer rules, he is set to lead Wossman to another run at the top 28. Player Comparison. James Hardison. <strong>Grissom Pick#8 (Tie).</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132840"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6920d0c46a65d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson could be higher on the list, but with a loaded roster around him the opportunities to dominate the stat sheet is limited. He led his team in scoring last year with over 15 PPG and should eclipse the 20 PPG mark this season. If he is fully healthy and ready to go after a long football season, he will give Neville the player they need to make a long run in 2026. Player Comparison. JJ Reddick. <strong>Grissom Pick #7. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3018785"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3099021,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6920d0c46a719"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The lanky guard can do it all: Shoot, pass, defend, rebound, you name it. He is a three level scoere who has played on the international level. He transfers into Union and will be an immediate star like his dad, Sergerio, in the late 1990's. He may be #6 on the list now, but that will surely change by the end of the season. Player Comparison. Cade Cunningham. <strong>Grissom Pick #6. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1679471"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6920d0c46a7d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fisher makes the list not because of his amazing numbers, but because he is the best at his position. He is a point guard. While some gaurds look to score more often than pass, Fisher is just the opposite. He is a pure floor general that can generate easy buckets for his teammates. He makes clutch shots and he is also an uncanny defender that will lead his team in steals. Neville's roster is loaded with scorers and it will be on Fisher to keep them happy. Player Comparison. Jamaal Murray.<strong> Grissom Pick #5. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532089"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6920d0c46a893"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After a year at Ouachita, Ford made the jump to Ruston and will solidify an already loaded roster that just fell short of a top 28 bid a year ago. The bulky guard has a college ready body and college ready game. He plays at his own pace and can score from anywhere on the floor. He is a sticky defender with high IQ and uncanny instincts. Being just a sophomore Ford is sure to top this list in years to come. Player Comparison. Jrue Holiday. <strong>Grissom Pick #4.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have one more installment where we will list the top four and I will add in an honorable mention from a local team that could be an impact player this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
