2023-24 Suburban One: POY Watch List…Part II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is Part II in our preview of SEPA prospects (Presented in alphabetical order.) we consider front runners to win the 2023-24 Suburban One League POY award.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2226452' first='Antonio' last='Morris'] </strong><strong>– 5'11” / 2024 / Bensalem / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] Bucks / Point Guard: </strong>Morris grabbed our attention this summer at Philly HS Live when he registered games of 25 and 27 points. He was then a standout performer at the AC Jam Fest in July as well as the A-Town Throwdown in August. In short, it was a monster summer for Morris. He is an extraordinary, two-way lead guard who contributes to every facet of the game. He can drain shots from all over the court, score off the bounce, distribute, rebound, and defend. We are expecting a breakout season from Morris this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1269299' first='Ryan' last='Mulroy'] </strong><strong>– 6'0” / 2025 / Upper Dublin / Penn Warriors / Combo Guard:</strong> Mulroy's trifecta of an automatic three-point stroke, non-stop off ball movement and his extensive use of ball / head fakes make him extraordinarily difficult to guard on the perimeter. But if opponents manage to chase Mulroy off the arc, he can score off the dribble going left or right. As a point guard Mulroy (13 ppg.; 7 rpg; 1^st Team All-League last season) displays a high IQ, great instincts, and creative passing skills. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Connor Taddei </strong><strong>– 6'3” / 2024 / Pennsbury / Philly Revolution / Wing</strong>: This versatile and solidly built prospect averaged 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game during his junior campaign. Then at June's Philly HS Live, Taddei posted a monster stretch of play (16.5 ppg. &amp; 6 rpg.). Taddei is a high IQ hybrid-forward with a feathery jump shot that features logo range. Plus, he can put the ball on the deck to create opportunities for himself and others. Taddei holds an offer from York College (D3).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1678657' first='Nate' last='Townsend'] </strong></em><strong>– 6'2” / 2024 / Neshaminy / Mt. Pleasant Bulldogs / Combo Guard: </strong>In 2022-23 Townsend was named a 1^st Team All-League selection after he averaged 14.6 points. 4.5 rebounds a 3 assists per contest. Townsend is a unique, multi-skilled prospect. He can use his thick frame to bully opposing guards. Or he can blow past them with his speed and elusive handles. His off the dribble mid-range game is impressive as well. Townsend also excels at grabbing a defensive rebound, then pushing the fast break to score or distribute.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2226405' first='Dom' last='Vacchiano'] </strong><strong>– 6'2” / 2024 / Wissahickon / PA Royals / Shooting Guard:</strong> Vacchiano is a multitalented backcourt prospect who can play at the 1, 2 or 3. He is a lethal 3-point shooter with a quick trigger and NBA range. Vacchiano (16 ppg.; 7.6 rpg.; 3 apg. last season) also owns the physicality to body smaller defenders and get to his spots. Vacchiano is coming off an impressive stretch of fall ball action which included games of 31, 28 and 24 points. As a bonus, Vacchiano is a tenacious rebounder at both ends. We are expecting a tremendous senior season from him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
