Last-Second Heroes (South Florida)

<p>We know the competition in South Florida is fierce. With so much parody, anyone can get beat on any given night.</p> <p>Therefore, which prospects would you want with the game on the line? The following players have ice water in their veins.</p> <p>Here are some picks...</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="963313" first="Hykeem" last="Williams"] – <em>Stranahan</em></p> <p>Switching it up here and going with [player_tooltip player_id="963313" first="Hykeem" last="Williams"]. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound forward is super strong and can score around the low block. Williams can control his position in the paint and finish. I don’t think a defender can muscle with him. In addition, Williams has the athleticism to accelerate up for an easy lay-in. I trust him inside ten feet with the ball in his hands. Williams is a huge prospect on the football field with multiple D-1 offers.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="546221" first="Aidan" last="Abell"] – <em>Westminster</em> <em>Academy</em></p> <p>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="546221" first="Aidan" last="Abell"] hit some big shots for Florida Pro over the Summer. The 6-foot-5 guard averaged 16 points per game and should be rolling with confidence. I think Abell is stronger and healthier than he was last season. The 3-star prospect is a threat to hit a half dozen 3-pointers in any game. Abell holds an offer from <strong>Stetson</strong>.</p> <p>Michael Cooper – <em>Forest Hill</em></p> <p>2022 Michael Cooper should be one of the leaders for the Falcons as a senior. The 6-foot guard averaged 11.8 points and shot 48 percent from 3-point range as a junior. Cooper hit some big shots for this team and that should continue in his final season. He’s an underrated player up in Palm Beach County.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="709231" first="Anthony" last="Floyd"] – <em>Hallandale</em></p> <p>I have seen Floyd since he was a freshman at Mater Lakes Academy. The 5-foot-9 guard is elusive with the ball in his hands and can finesse his way into tight spaces. Floyd plays stronger than he looks and can finish with either hand. I think he can come up with a bucket late in a game. Moreover, he has the mentality to do it.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="956773" first="Warner" last="Davis"] - <em>Miami</em> <em>Palmetto</em></p> <p>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="956773" first="Warner" last="Davis"] can knock down shots in a hurry. The 6-foot-1 guard averaged over 23 points per game and shot 40 percent from 3-point range as a junior. His range is unlimited and he’s efficient from any spot behind the line. I’ve seen Warner pull-up and knock down shots in transition. Be aware of this kid late in a game.</p> <p>Others to watch:</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="829416" first="Alex" last="Houck"] - <em>Jupiter</em></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1062420" first="Noah" last="Kattan"] - <em>Cypress</em> <em>Bay</em></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="814930" first="Jose" last="Amat"] III - <em>Florida Christian</em></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="709247" first="PJ" last="Paulk"] - <em>Booker T. Washington</em></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="709256" first="Jamai" last="Hager-Tejada"] - <em>Miami Northwestern</em></p> <p>*Anyone* on <strong>Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian</strong></p> <p><em>For any South Florida Prep Hoops news or information...please contact Michael Costeines @Steins_23 on Instagram or follow him on Twitter @Mungertown_Mike23</em></p>
