Preseason All-Senior Teams: DC Publics

<p>While we’re certainly taking things one day at a time, the prospects of high school basketball occurring in the DMV this winter are more promising now than they have been in quite a while. In anticipation of this, we will be rolling out preview content over the next several weeks. Here is a look at the Preseason All-Senior Teams for DC Public Schools. </p> <h5>First Team</h5> <p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="902057" first="Rasheed" last="Dupree"]</strong></p> <p>Dupree’s distinguished resume speaks for itself. The guy wins games. Period. </p> <p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="775329" first="Michael" last="Aiken"]</strong></p> <p>Aiken (pictured) has been on the map since his freshman year at TMA. It’s been a joy to watch him grow into the amazing player he’s become. </p> <p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="902082" first="Jasir" last="Tremble"]</strong></p> <p>Tremble broke out against Wilson last year and managed to carry that momentum all the way through the high school season into the fall at the PYBL Showcase. He’s legit. </p> <p>https://twitter.com/AyalewAdam/status/1204236331171364869?s=20</p> <p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="902024" first="Saveon" last="Jackson"]</strong></p> <p>Jackson is a do-it-all type who you want on your side when things get tight. He’s a flat-out winner. </p> <p><strong>F - [player_tooltip player_id="836494" first="Maurice" last="Johnson"]</strong></p> <p>Johnson was an easy pick to make the first team. He led the DC Metro Area in scoring in a year where he regularly flirted with 30 points per game.</p> <h5>Second Team</h5> <p><strong>G - DaJuan McMillan</strong></p> <p>McMillan has been a potent offensive weapon for Coach Shackelford at Friendship Tech for a while now. You could certainly make a strong case that he deserves to make the first team. </p> <p>https://twitter.com/techprephoops/status/1210963792714256384?s=20</p> <p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="902028" first="Miasiah" last="Brown"]</strong></p> <p>Brown was another tough omission from the first team. He's a solid college prospect who makes a tremendous impact on the defensive side of the ball. </p> <p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="902027" first="Jamiyl" last="Kirkland Jr."]</strong></p> <p>Kirkland is a big guard who is a nice compliment to McMillan in the Tech Prep back-court. He can play with or without the ball and is dangerous in transition. </p> <p><strong>F - [player_tooltip player_id="836530" first="Chris" last="Mateo"]</strong></p> <p>Mateo has been an underappreciated glue guy at Dunbar who can do more but knows how to play his role. He is a solid three-and-D wing prospect who should be in line for a big season. </p> <p><strong>F - [player_tooltip player_id="954249" first="Christian" last="DeLarosa"]</strong></p> <p>Energy is DeLaRosa's calling card, and he brings it every time he steps on the floor. He's an important part of what they do at EL Haynes. </p> <h5>Third Team</h5> <p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="902074" first="Michael" last="Cheadle"]</strong></p> <p>Cheadle keeps the ball on a string and knows what to do with it. He emerged as a reliable playmaker for Dunbar last season and earned a spot on this list.</p> <p>https://twitter.com/coachwater20/status/1230171228138360832?s=20</p> <p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="836516" first="Mark" last="Aiken"]</strong></p> <p>Aiken's importance at TMA should not be understated. He's obviously a great compliment to his brother in the back-court and is a good player as well. </p> <p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="954246" first="Nasir" last="Best"]</strong></p> <p>Best fills a myriad of roles at Wilson. He can initiate offense and defend, which makes him a simple choice for the third team. </p> <p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="902035" first="Ya’Qin" last="Staton"]</strong></p> <p>Staton is another good defender who makes the list because he can play both ends of the floor. He is in good form this fall and looks fully recovered over a year removed from his knee injury. </p> <p><strong>F - [player_tooltip player_id="902067" first="Stanley" last="Marsh"]</strong></p> <p>On a relatively undersized team at TMA, Marsh brings some muscle in the paint. He is an indispensable part of that team and is included on this list as a result. </p>
