Basketball Spotlight MDC 8th Grade Top Wing Forwards
Seth Lundy (Philly Triple Threat)
You have to love Lundy’s game on the wing because it’s tailor made for the position. He has developed his ball handling which has helped him attack. He also has the legit size to finish above shot blockers. He pumped in 14 points apiece against Metro Celtics and Team BOS while also tallying 12 markers in their semi-final loss to Team RIO.
It wasn’t a high scoring weekend for the versatile wing but he still was very productive. He rebounded well and became the major shot blocker for his squad. On defense he was a hawk on the press by playing the passing lanes or retreating to block the shots of opponents breaking loose. Some players don’t know how to do other things if their shot is off but Lewis isn’t one of those players.
Joseph also stepped up with the departure of Anthony. The most impressive aspect of his game is his improved accuracy on his outside shot. He nailed 4 treys on his way to 22 points on his first game out versus the NJ Shore Shots. This former post player has now become very accustomed to the wing.
Scott didn’t have his usual dominant weekend but he did wake up against Team RIO in the semi-finals. The lanky forward was in attack mode and was also able to launch some early treys that gave PTT an early cushion. He still remains one of the most intriguing prospects in the region.
Dominquez used his versatility to have a productive weekend. He showed his range during the game against Metro Celtics by nailing 3 treys on his to 25 points. He then came back an outstanding individual performance in their loss to Philly Triple Threat where he lived at the line and finished with 23 markers. He has proven to get busy regardless of the competition.
Riggins still battling an injury still managed to get busy against Metro Celtics where he dropped 14 points. Hopefully we get to see him at full strength because when he’s on he can be a crowd pleaser. The southpaw has enormous potential and plays the game with a serious motor.
Speaking of injuries McCoy looked to be full strength during the championship game. Jordan played lockdown defense on the wing and also added some scoring with 14 points. He’s the glue player of the squad because he can guard multiple positions and contribute various ways on the offensive end.
