Game Set 1 Posts
Iran Bennett – Morgan McKay – Edrice Adebayo – Osinachi Smart
6’9” Junior Iran Bennett (Mt Zion) – Bennet is a known commodity in this area. He is a load offensively as he tips the scales over 300 lbs. He is strong and has good feet and great hands. Bennett is a tough match up for most
6’8” Sophomore Morgan McKay (Christ School) – McKay is a tough kid on the boards, who rebounds his area well. On offense, he has touch in the paint and is able to stretch the floor with his range.
6’9” Sophomore Edrice Adebayo (Pinetown Northside) – Adebayo is blessed with hitting the genetic lottery. He has a powerful frame, long arms, and great explosion. Adebayo’s offense is expanding to the high post, and defensively he may be the best post defender in the county. Adebayo is a Top 10 player nationally, and should get voted to the McDonald’s All American Game
6’7” Junior Osinachi Smart (New Garden Friends) – Smart is the younger brother of Buffalo Freshman Ikenna Smart. Osinachi is blessed with a strong and powerful frame. He is a great rebound in and out of his area and attempts to tear the rim off the backboard any and every chance he has.
