Philly's Best Kept Secret: Floyd Preito
Last season while Britton Lee and Shafeek Taylor were lighting up the AAU circuit another guard from Philly was getting it done on the camp or showcase scene. His name is Floyd Preito. Preito started last season with an impressive showing at the Elite 80 Expo where his team won the chip and he could have took home MVP honors. He then took his game to the Mid Atlantic Jr. Phenom Camp where he destroyed the competition while taking home the Most Outstanding Player Award. His next stop was the Adidas Jr. Phenom Camp in California where he proved to be one of the top guards in attendance. He finished his summer off at the Elite Players Camp at the Boo Williams Complex where he was ranked as the top point guard.
This season Floyd has reclassified into the 8th grade and has taken full advantage of this move. He was one of the few 8th Graders to attend to the Pangos East and finished as a Top 20 player while competing against the 9th and 10th Graders in the region. Preito also has been destroying the Aztecs Future Legend League by using fundamentals and quick moves. He has truly traveled under the radar but expect a big splash for this kid this year.
