It’s unfortunate Bridgton ran into Blair Academy so early, because they really could’ve made a run with what they were getting out of Sylla and Crowdis. Sylla’s pick and roll partner is a 6-foot-4 maestro who has phenomenal feel and can make every read in the book. He has deep range and can make shots off the dribble, so you can’t go under screens on him; but if you go over, he’ll put you in jail or split the hedge and make crafty finishes and passes in the paint. I was also ridiculously impressed with the way Crowdis attacked the ball defensively and consistently got deflections, jump balls, and steals because of his aggression and good hands. He’s a D1 player.
