stevenash Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Dove- would you be willing to post your personal list of 25? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfrezzi Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I agree with Preston, very good player who knows how to use his body, and a nice mid range jump shot,... Senior from Nederland Lubera couldBe on the list, picks up the scoring when Weisbrod or English are struggling (very rarely) and pulls down boards. As well as Chattman from memorial, great young player! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino1877 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 AAW not a bad list at all.... can't please everyone and there are more than 25 teams around here.

HJ2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Granted I have only seen the kid play twice, Zach English does not stand out to me as one of the top ten players in the area. He may not turn the ball over, but as from what I have seen, he is not that much of a threat unless he is posted up from behind the three point line. He is definitely not a better player than Zjori Bosha nor Devante Johnson, who I feel are probably top ten-fifteen in the area. What are your thoughts?

He shoots 8-10 FTs/game bc he getsfouled frequently while driving to the hoop. He's not 'explosive' like Prudhomme. He has deceptive speed, which allows him to beat his man when he has to. He is dangerous from beyond the arc, as you mentioned, but all 11 of his points last night were from driving to the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazeek Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I notice two things that might need to be considered on the rankings. And I have not seen a tenth of the teams that AAW has seen. But there is no reason for Devante' Johnson (HJ) not to be in the Top 15, and in my humble opinion Chris Elam (Silsbee) has to be in the Top 6-7!!! Elam kept Silsbee in the game last night, and Johnson was the difference for HJ last night in getting the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
