Monsignor Martin League Top Returning Steal Producers 2020-2021

<p><b><i>Western New York is an underrated basketball hotspot chockful of promising, talented recruits. Below is a list of 5 players from the Monsignor Martin League with at least one season of eligibility remaining who are best at creating steals.</i></b></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="1046815" first="Kamar" last="Goudelock"] - Bishop Timon-St. Jude - Class of 2022</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Goudelock led the Monsignor Martin League in 2019-2020 with 2.8 steals per game. In total, he accumulated 74 steals in his sophomore campaign. A model of consistency, Goudelock registered at least one steal in 25 out of 26 games played. The Tigers lean on Goudelock to continue to be a defensive menace in 2020-2021.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="1047763" first="Jaymier" last="Patton"] - Bishop Timon-St. Jude - Class of 2021</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="1047763" first="Jaymier" last="Patton"] nearly matched his teammate [player_tooltip player_id="1046815" first="Kamar" last="Goudelock"]’s 2019-2020 defensive production, registering 2.7 steals per game. In his inaugural Varsity season, Patton first registered a career-high 6 steals on December 19, 2019 in a victory against Olmsted, only to match that output twice more, against Bennett and Canisius, respectively. In addition to his defensive intensity, Patton consistently took care of the ball on offense, finishing his Junior season with a 1.30 steal/turnover ratio. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="1046832" first="Kevin" last="Thompson"] - Bishop Timon-St. Jude - Class of 2022</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the third straight Bishop Timon-St. Jude Tiger to make the rankings, Thompson averaged an even 2.0 steals per game in 2019-2020. One can only assume that a “friendly competition” in 2020-2021 between Patton, Goudelock, and Thompson to be the team’s leading steal-man would benefit the team as a whole.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amiel Collins - St. Francis - Class of 2021</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Collins was able to accumulate 1.8 steals per game in 2019-2020 in 25 total games. Collins has improved each season; his Freshman season resulted in 0.4 steals per game, while he tallied 1.4 steals per game as a Sophomore. Entering his Senior season, Collins will attempt to continue to improve both his individual production and his team as a whole in 2020-2021.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="1046813" first="Justin" last="Glover"] - St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute - Class of 2022</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perhaps Justin was born to steal the basketball; “The Glover” averaged 1.4 steals per game as a Sophomore in 2019-2020. Glover uses his slight 5’8” frame to get under opposing ballhandlers and fluster them into turnovers. He played a huge role in leading his team to an impressive 20-6 overall and 10-2 Monsignor Martin League Conference record. There is no doubt he will be relied upon even more as an upperclassman in 2020-2021.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>*<em>All stats come from MaxPreps.com. All analysis is my own.</em></p>
