The 2020 Class at the NYBL has been true to form throughout
the season – the top players have produced as expected. Yet there is a guy or two out there that may
have been forgotten; don’t blame yourselves there is a good reason; injuries
and absences in the early session but we must acknowledge these special young
men because they no doubt deserve it.
Making a splash in the NYBL is no small task but these stars from the
Leesburg Basketball Club out of Virginia.
Meet Jeremy Roach
Roach is a pure scoring machine with a sleek body for the
backcourt. He attacks the rim in straight lines, absorbs contact without
problem, and gets himself to the free-throw line in high volume. He's
absolutely lethal in the open court and also an excellent finisher who combines
power, sneaky athleticism, balance, and an extremely high basketball IQ. Jeremy is an excellent shooter with three
point range mostly off the catch but can make scoring plays off the dribble as
well. He can spot up on the break and can come off screens with excellent
precision. We really like his ability
when a play breaks down to take the offense into his hands and make something positive
happen for himself or his teammates.
Meet Chuck Harris
Harris is a long and lean wing that is very productive and
competes on both ends of the floor. He has Harris can also can hit the open 3-point and likes to
post and is very effective at it. With
his game there isn't one particular item that jumps off the page. Rather, it's
a culmination of a number of factors. Let's start with his basketball IQ. Chuck has innate feel and sees the floor
well. It comes as no surprise that he's an accomplished passer and will set up
a teammate for score just as quickly as he will dominate the man in front of
him!
These players are a microcosm of the LBC Team; very
unassuming but will gladly lure you to sleep and cut your proverbial throat. This is a team who is frankly just finding its
grove, they were literally two last second shots from completing a 5-0 weekend,
losing their two games by a combined 2-point, which they finished with a dominating
performance over the Banneker Kings and the two headed monster of Toles and
McNeil. No one wants to see this group at the next session as they
are healthy and operating with great precision, they have size with top big
Josiah Hardy who runs the floor, finishes, and defends as well as any big on the
league – they have leadership at the point as Will Paige now back from injury
too is as steady as they come and finally Jared Cross the LBC Swiss army knife
who can give them anything from anywhere that they need. Once of the best precision offenses, they run
it to perfection – it wouldn’t be a good idea for anyone to overlook this group
of talented players.
