Elijah Newsome
Elijah Newsome
Newsome is a sharp shooter with long range. He is a guard with a good overall skill set and a very high motor. He is always a threat from the outside, and has a smooth shooting form. He has a soft touch, and a high releases Point. A tough gritty player, who when given the opportunity will prove his potential.
Ben Gorman
Ben Gorman
Ben is a strong built rim protector. Ben is also a member of the schools football team. His best attribute I think is his defense and shot blocking. He is a physical player and good defensively in the paint. Ben has a strong upside to his game, and should take a big jump in his junior season. He has good timing on blocking shots and doesn’t fall for ball or shot fakes.
William Winfield
William Winfield
William is a versatile guard, who is 6’4 and has good length to match his skill set. He is a great shot blocking guard and he had 8 blocks in a game last season. He is athletic and likes to push the ball up the floor. He has a variety of finishing moves at the rim and can also step outside for the three. On defense his size and quickness give’s him the ability to match up with multiple positions.
Francisco Aponte
Francisco Aponte
Francisco made the most of his minutes last season and he should have a bigger role on the team this coming season. He can shoot the three, and is active in the passing lanes. He is a combo guard with good potential.
Anthony Corsinetti
Anthony Corsinetti
Anthony is a guard, with a smooth shooting form, and a quick release. He moves well off the ball to get open, and swings the ball on offense as well. On defense he is a pesky on ball defender. Anthony had a few breakout games last year, and should continue that this season.
