NY2LA Sports named their top 100 players in the midwest region this week. Royce White and Rodney Williams come in at 2 and 3 in that list. Wisconsin players Jamil Wilson and Jeronne Maymon come in at 1 and 4 in the list.
Read the NY2LA Sports Midwest top 5 with comments on each player here.
I saw the top 4 kids play in person last season so here's how I'd rank them.
- White, hands down, due to his polished offensive game.
- Maymon, due to versatility. He's a horse inside, but can handle too. 30 points, 14.6 rebounds, 4.7 blocks, 3.7 steals and 3 assists averages during the Wisconsin state tournament don't lie.
- Williams, due to athleticism. A highlight reel waiting to happen every time he plays.
- Wilson, he didn't impress when I saw him during last year's WBY Shootout.
The concern with White and Maymon is what to do with them at the next level as they are classic tweeners. Neither one is a true power forward and neither has the athleticism of a top small forward. Williams and Wilson do project as wing players at the next level and have the athleticism and skills to play there.
