Sulaiman received a 10-spot boost up inside the top-20 and for good reason. The southpaw lead guard embodies plenty of traits that a coach would look for in a point guard and it all starts with his will to win. There aren’t many in this class who give effort to both sides of the ball like Sulaiman. If he isn’t providing pressure to his man the full length of the floor, he’s constantly looking to jump in passing lanes, making sharp rotations to draw a charge or battle among the trees for defensive rebounds. Offensively where his game has noticeably improved is his jump shot. It was never necessarily a blemish in his game, just an area that needed some improvement to keep defenders honest. He’s a downhill assassin that uses a blend of quickness and strength to bully his way to the bucket against opposing guards. His threat of shooting off the catch allows for more attacks on closeouts and his balance in getting to his spots within the mid-range has rounded out nicely. Sulaiman’s ability to touch the paint with regularity also allows for him to show off his vision as a playmaker, which is an approach he’ll gladly take on if it puts his team in a better position. Some of the proof can be seen in the year that freshman duo Brayden Whitaker Brayden Whitaker 5'11" | PG/SG The Boys Latin School of Maryland | 2029 State MD and Austin Pitts Austin Pitts 6'2" | CG/SG The Boys Latin School of Maryland | 2029 State MD are having.

Sulaiman has been of the premier sophomores in the Baltimore area this season as he’s hung a few crooked numbers in the scoring column thus far for the Lakers. His showing in Salisbury was more about filling the stat sheet as a whole, something that he’s been known for ever since his middle school days. The tough-nosed, two-way southpaw lead guard had his better showing against a team that many consider as the No. 2 ranked programs in Delaware, St. George’s, as he finished with 11 points, six assists, four steals and two blocks. The backcourt duo of Sulaiman and Brayden Whitaker Brayden Whitaker 5'11" | PG/SG The Boys Latin School of Maryland | 2029 State MD will be a fun one to watch as the years progress.

Previous Rank: 33

-Sulaiman is a lot for opponents to handle as a physical, dynamic lead guard prospect. The southpaw stepped up when a few backcourt teammates were out with injury at The Challenge and showed what he can do as a scoring point guard that can fill it up from all 3 levels. He hit shots off the bounce, got to the rim at will, earned several trips to the FT line, and showed his tenacity at both ends of the floor. Offensively- he is dishing out the pain with physical drives to the rim while defensively he bumps his matchup off their driving lanes to the rim while forcing a ton of turnovers and dribble pickups. Should be one of the better guards in the MIAA this season.

The Lakers were without the services of their senior point guard Ghavyne Saint-Pierre and Sulaiman took full advantage of the opportunity to display his lead guard abilities. The 5-foot-10 southpaw is a downhill nightmare who puts relentless pressure on the defense with his quickness and mindset of exposing the slightest of driving lanes. Sulaiman has always been a stop-and-pop threat in the mid-range, but over the weekend he showed off improved mechanics and balance on his looks from deep. He’s also pest on the defensive end who plays with active hands and a strong base that allows him to withstand more physical guard play. With more opportunity coming his way, it’s clear that he’s the building block for this young, talented Boys’ Latin group for the foreseeable future.

-Sulaiman will likely be one of our highest risers in our next rankings update as he has been performing at a high level as BL deals with a few injuries at his position. Sulaiman is a dynamic downhill driver that can stop and pop at the elbow or get all the way to the rim to score with an advanced bag of finishing moves. The lefty had it going vs Middletown scoring off of drives to the rim through contact, 3s behind ball screens at the top of the key, and elbow jumpers off the bounce. His best stretch came at the start of the 2H when he hit a stepback jumper out of an iso set, came away with a nice strip on the way up to prevent a basket and hit a face up 3 on the kickout to give his team their first lead of the game. Should be one of the top sophomores in the MIAA this season.

Sulaiman is a high octane scoring point guard who knows all the right times to exploit a defense for scoring opportunities. He does a great job getting to spots in the mid-range. He is able to slither past defenders with ease. He finsihed with 19 points and was the leading scorer for his team. Sulaiman is an elite rebounder who has a nose for coming up with the basketball. He also was a threat from behind the arc converting on several chances from behind the three point line.

Noah continues to improve his game each time I see him perform. This time looking smooth when creating shots for himself off the dribble. Noah is able to create space with much less effort handling the ball, easing his way to the rim or shedding the contact in few dribbles. Started his day with 16 points vs Good Counsel then really showed well against Pallotti, dropping in 28. Sulaiman always stays active defensively pulling in rebounds and nabbing steals all game. Plays an aggressive brand of defense that allows for nothing easy from the opponent. Attacked the rim well using his dribble and his body in order to take the contact and finish in close.

Noah has been an impressive young stud for Boys’ Latin all season long, and I expect nothing to change when he hits the floor with Team Thrill . He is an all-around player that defends hard, attack the basket strong, and is fearless on the floor. Noah was a very important part to Boys’ Latin’s big wins and he had some critical performances. I think this summer will be an important one in terms of his progression and confidence.

While he didn’t make a splashy impact, Sulaiman caught the eye with his poise and polish for a freshman. He plays with a maturity that would never lead you to think he’s the youngest player on the floor. A name to file away entering the grassroots season and stepping into a larger role later in high school.

Noah utilizes his minutes well on the floor playing with the starting or bench unit. He is a slithery guard that gets to the cup from the perimeter in a flash. I am always impressed with Sulaiman’s effort and defensive skill. He compliments the Boys’ Latin guard knit well with his decision-making and defensive prowess. He has secured valuable minutes on a rolling Laker team that has caught a lot of attention this season. Noah continues to be a reliable guard that can score and maneuver through the defense and make plays on both ends. Played very well on the team’s championship run at the Gov Challenge late December. Noah is a quickly-developing PG that has nothing but time to continue to improve.
