1 |
Reggie Bullock | 2010 | 6'6" | Kinston (NC) | CP3 All-Stars | Jesus Shuttlesworth...the real life version. Only thing missing is Lala! Complete package. Silky smooth with the physical tools and polished skill set to be that dude. |
2 |
Lance Stephenson | 2009 | 6'5" | Lincoln (NY) | Juice All-Stars | Explosive skill wise and physically. The measuring stick in the Class of 2009. Big time talent. |
3 |
Kenny Boynton | 2009 | 6'0" | American Heritage (FL) | Team Breakdown | The single most electric player on the high school scene right now. Brings to mind soft comparisons of a young Allen Iverson in terms of his ability to take over games on the offensive end. Also like his potential to become a big time PG so he makes both lists...cuz he's got it like that! |
4 |
Wayne Blackshear | 2011 | 6'5" | Chicago Curie (IL) | Mac Irvin Fire | Blackshear has all the tools and talent to be a star. It's up to him. |
5 |
Xavier Henry | 2009 | 6'6" | Putnam City (OK) | Athletes First | Exceptional size, length, and frame. Big time talent across the board. Could slide to SF if needed. |
6 |
Dominique Cheek | 2009 | 6'5" | Jersey St. Anthony's (NJ) | The Playaz | Sick upside. Long slashing prospect with exceptional range. Big time talent across the board. |
7 |
Michael Snaer | 2009 | 6'5" | Rancho Verde (CA) | Inland Empire | Range is pretty much anywhere in the gym. Physical tools and range drip with pro potential. |
8 |
Doron Lamb | 2010 | 6'4" | Bishop Loughlin (NY) | N.Y. Gauchos | The next in a great line of talented guards to rock a Gauchos uniform. Big time scoring threat who can score any way he wants any time he wants. |
9 |
Crandall Head | 2010 | 6'4" | Rich South (IL) | Mac Irvin Fire | Combo guard who I really think has the potential to be a super PG if he wants. Regardless, he's long athletic and can score in bunches when he gets it going. Exceptional length make for great defensive potential too! |
10 |
Russell Byrd | 2010 | 6'5" | Blackhawk Christian (IN) | Blessed IJN | One of the most underrated players nationally. 6'5" with a pure stroke from anywhere in the building that was cultivated and developed on the farm in Indiana...are you getting the point? All he does is hit jumpers! |
