Leading the way for a balanced Imhotep group that overcame injury and internal turmoil for another run to the state title game, Muhammad-Gray was as consistent a matchup problem as there was in the entire 6A bracket. His ability to thrive both inside and out, operating as a perimeter creator or a hub out of the post, proved to be almost impossible to handle as the Panthers came up just short of their 11th state title in a 52-49 championship loss. He’s able to operate on the wing, playing off the dribble and making plays out of ball screens or spacing the floor as a shooter. With the season on the line against city rival Father Judge, he showed his versatility by taking over the game from the post, scoring at times himself but really changing the game with his vision as a passer out of double teams. Muhammad-Gray’s rugged approach and two-way versatility should continue attracting attention from a wide range of D1 programs over the next year.
