Everyone wants it
Everyone has been waiting for it
So Here it is
The only blog brave enough to give a top 20 boys players in the city
Now I will explain that if a roster is not up on Max Preps (Central) you will probably only get one player.
If you don't have stats up, you probably don't get as many players, unless I have seen you more than once. Sorry, but this is my passion and my hobby, but not my job.
So here we go with the top 20
20)I will give a number 20 ranking to Ty'Ree Gilbert from Northeast, a sophomore who is averaging 19 points a game. He is one of two sophomores on Northeast that makes the top 20/
19)Maurice Gordon from FPD. Gordon is having a solid season and the Vikings under Michael Walton are playing good basketball. They have a huge game on Tuesday against Tattnall Square, which I will attend.
18)Nathan Hunt- The former Covenant player turned Stratford Eagle looked great last week against Tattnall and will continue to get better when he learns what the new Stratford coach wants him to do.
17)Darius Dunn- He becomes the second Northeast player on the list by averaging 19 points a game as a sophomore. The Raiders however are 5-15 so I can give these kids any more love than this.
16)Samone Reed- The Westside senior is getting 9 points and 5 assists per game and will probably pick up his scoring as the season moves on. He is a threat even if he is not scoring.
15)Dartavious Thompson- Ok who has heard of him ? I am guessing nobody because he goes to CFCA. I don't care about that , if a kids can average 26 points a game a CFCA, he can average 13 to 15 anywhere and that includes Macon public schools.
14)Trey Foster- Foster is having a great year for Westside and he comes in at 11 points a game. Westside is coming along at 13-3 and they have a huge Tuesday game against Central. Take Westside in that one if you are a betting man.
13)Brandon Stewart from Howard. The Huskies are struggling but Stewart is averaging 13 points and 14 rebounds a game so he is doing his part. They play in a very tough region so things will probably not get much better.
12)DeShon James- I have to give Rutland credit as they are trying to fight for a playoff birth. I have not seen them play but James is putting up 11 and 8 and keeping his team in ball games in the paint.
11)LaMontis Moore- leads Rutland in scoring with 18 points a game.
10)Jai'Kez Mann- Yes I know I head to another private school but this guy was Rutlands best player last year and for some reason ended up at Windsor. I don't have anything against Windsor, but the schedule is not overly challenging. Still Mann can play, going for 15 points a game while having to share the ball with many other scorers. We will get a great sense of how good Windsor is because they meet up with Stratford this Saturday.
9)Adam Leverett- Poor Adam Leverett having to play on a team that plays hard every game but just does not have the talent that other public schools in Macon have. It is sad that De Sales cannot compete in any sport anymore, but Leverett is going for 20 or so points a game and deserves a top 10 ranking in Macon.
8)Jimmy Marshall-Tattnall Squares big man has got to step it up and I believe he will Tuesday against FPD. Marshall was dominating early in the season and he was challenging the top five, but the last time I saw him he was quiet. I expect him to move up after this week.
7)Armaun Smith- He is FPDS best player and they need him to play well. He is a 13 point per game scorer and the Vikings most consistent threat.
6)Marquise Jackson- He does it all for Windsor and he is averaging 14 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals a game, which just about fills a stat sheet up. Once again, he is a GISA player and I cant wait to see what he can do against Stratford.
5)Nate Brooks- Stratford is probably the most physically imposing kid in the bunch but he is terribly inconsistent. I saw the Tattnall game last week and he played hard and hit some shots and for Stratford to turn the corner he has to be THE man . I believe he can do it, but needs the energy all the time.
4)Calvin Slaughter- the Tattnall senior has moved way up the list in the last two weeks but playing consistently good basketball against good competition. I am looking forward to seeing what he will do against FPD, where they will need his to continue his strong play.
3)Aaron Ridley from Southwest - Love this kids work ethic and with everyone else gone from Southwest this guy is playing the best basketball of his career. He is putting up almost 22 points a game and 9 rebounds and is the only double figure scorer on the team, and it is a pretty good team.
2)Antarius McCoy- This Central team is not overly amazing but McCoy finds a way to win basketball games. He can drop the three and can get to the rim and he deserves to be ranked number two . He would be ranked number two even if a 6"11 kid was still in town.
1) Khavon Moore. The best player to come out of Macon since, wow I don't know. It has been a long time since Macon has seen anything like this kid or maybe they never have. I mean a 6'7 point guard who goes 20 and 10 and could go more, except he is unselfish. Go watch him.
Many players didn't make the list who could make the list. Sean Brown at Tattnall sticks out and I am sure I left some Central kids out. Don't be scared to tell me about it. That's what I need to hear. Do it on twitter or facebook or on here or hell text me at 478-394-1155. I need feedback because I want to put this out every week.
