Myles Dread (Metro Sixers)
Myles Dread was one of the most impressive players I saw at John Lucas Future Of The Game Camp this summer in Hampton, Virginia. His play and ability to be a match up problem caught my eye immediately. He finished the camp as one of the top players. This season he played in both Spotlight events and helped his team reach the final four of the Clash For The Cup. We reached out to the Metro Sixers star and here’s what he had to say.
