After seeing significant minutes in the PCL for LaSalle the past couple years, Neri heads to the Inter Ac for a senior year at GA and has steadily emerged over the summer as a late-blooming stock-riser. The sturdy utility guard plays a strength-based game on both ends of the floor, bullying his way to the rim for tough finishes off two feet and giving bigger players a hard time with his lower center of gravity on the defensive end. He doesn’t have the most traditional scoring arsenal but is consistently productive and extremely efficient while proving out to be among the truest knockdown shooting threats in the state. Neri has been seen as more of a football prospect up until this point but seems to have shifted focus to hoops and should have high-academic small-college programs lining up for him if he doesn’t already.

Neri is a physical, all-around player who consistently leaves his mark on the game at both ends of the floor. He embraces the gritty aspects of the game, showing no hesitation to sacrifice his body by taking charges and making winning plays that don’t always show up in the box score. Offensively, he provided valuable scoring depth, attacking the basket with confidence and seeking out contact to create high-percentage opportunities and trips to the foul line. His toughness, motor, and willingness to do the little things make him a player coaches love to have on the floor. With his well-rounded game and physical style of play, Neri is a prospect who should continue to gain traction with small college programs.
