High School Basketball Preview: Freshman to Make a Difference on the Next Level


                                                               (Unique Mclean 2016)

Player Analysis: Class of 2016

VJ King (2016) 6’5” Wing Guard- King has a serious stroke that has range that extends up to 23 ft. His size makes him a tough matchup for any guard but his speed and athleticism is far too much too handle for any big man. His size allows him to get off tough shots and his awareness of his surroundings allow him to be a great passer and player off the ball. Overall this kid has the potential to be great.

Thon Maker (2016) 7’0” Forward/Center- Maker’s tremendous size creates a matchup problem for any team. His ability to block shots around the rim forces teams to change their game plan. His offensive ability is incredible, he is able to post up anyone, can get to the rim, and has a wing game similar to Kevin Durant. This kid is a force to be reckoned with in the future.

Unique McLean (2016) 6’0” Wing Guard- McLean has to be the most athletic kid in the Class of 2016. This kid can leap out of the building and can throw down over anyone despite his size at 6’0”. He has a great knack for scoring the ball and is a tremendous shot blocker. If he develops his shot from beyond the arc a little bit more, there is no doubt this kid can do something special.

Tyus Battle (2016) 6’5” Wing Guard- Battle is the definition of a hard worker, this game was not given to him, he earned it. He has the ball handle of some of the point guards in the NBA and has a killer pull up jumper from anywhere on the floor. He can create with his vision and can score either spotting up or going to the rim. This kid is going to be great someday.

Alani “Showtime” Moore (2016) 5’10” Point Guard- Moore is the best point guard in the country for a reason. He can run the show for any team in the country. Is ability to see the floor and make flashy creative passes compares to Ricky Rubio or Steve Nash. His IQ makes him an extension of the coach out on the floor. With some hard work this kid can be great.

Harry Giles (2016) 6’7” Small Forward- He is the best player in the country. This kid has all of the tools to be great. Size, athleticism, court awareness, shooter’s touch, you name it he has it. This kid’s ability to score the ball comes like no other, he drives through the lane effortlessly and then can dunk it on whoever is between him and the basket. This kid can seriously stroke it, too. He can knock down jumpers from anywhere up to 24 ft. there is little doubt in my mind that he will be one of the greats to play basketball on this level.

Thon Maker- C/PF 2016 (7'0")
Thon maker is believed to be the next Kevin Durant. The giant stands at 7' and has range extending to 18 ft. Thon is already a freshman and has been contacted by several Division I unviersities. The sky is only the point of view for this Youngster and who knows what he can do, we'll be paying very close attention to his progress as the years move on.
