Markovitz looked like a man amongst boys all Saturday for BABC National HGSL. The 6-foot-4 forward was the biggest player on the court for both of their Saturday games, but he was also the hardest working and highest energy player, which is a deadly combo. He was dominant on the offensive and defensive glass, and he couldn’t be stopped as a finisher in the paint, especially with his strong left hand. Markovitz can pass the ball well for his size and also has a nice-looking shot, so the future is bright for him. He has some “stuff” to him, too (if you know what I mean), and I love the way he competes every possession even in a blowout. Tough kid who you do not want to get riled up.

Markovitz, a guard out of the Kingswood-Oxford School in Connecticut, makes his first appearance in the rankings at #17 overall. Markovitz first catches the eye with his size on the perimeter, standing 6’4″ with long arms and a solid build. He has an advanced feel for the game and does a good job of making solid decisions with the ball in his hands. He’s an instinctive passer, moves well without the basketball, and continues to show progress as not only a driver, but also as a rim finisher. The more he can expand his comfort with the ball in his hands and the consistency of his perimeter shooting, the higher his ceiling will go. Defensively, his combination of size and length allows him to play with tremendous versatility and he’s already proven to be willing to mix it up on the glass in traffic.

Markovitz, a 6’2″ guard out of the Kingswood-Oxford School in Connecticut, makes his first appearance in the 2028 rankings on the Watch List. Markovitz plays with good energy on both ends of the floor and is developing his offensive game out to the perimeter. He’s a capable finisher around the rim, showing touch and the ability to play through contact when needed. Defensively, he can guard up and down a position, makes effort plays, and is willing to mix it up on the glass.
