I was completely baffled by this young mans performance during the week of OFSAA and during the regular season. I believe that Rohan was probably the best player in all of Ontario after Andrew Wiggins, if not than #1. He basically does everything, rebounds his area, blocks shots, slams the easy dunk, or finishes with the smooth jumper. What shocks me the most is that this All-Star has charisma and a high motor. He is always moving on both the offensive and defensive end with outstanding poise and posture. PG Mike Lafricain played a major role on this forwards dominant play this season.

Mike's court vision and passing ability was rarely off balance throughout the season. He is a crafty point guard who you can relate with Canadian star Steve Nash. Mike is a pass first, shoot later; type of player. He played a giant role in Loyola's success and will surely play a major role in Ottawa's program. His strengths are evident, he can shoot the heck out of the ball if he is heated up. He is also physically built and can bang with the big boys. I will love to see this point guard play with the staff and players at Ottawa.

Team Play
I was very impressed with this Loyola team this year and last year. This team plays together with chemistry and aggressiveness which gives them the edge over their opponent. The chemistry between Mike & Rohan was unmatched in all of Ontario basketball. I truly believe that if Wiggins was not at Vaughan this year, than this Loyola team would have received gold at OFSAA this year. Sadly they were left short as the Vaughan Voyageurs took home the gold. I was very confused to find out that no D1 college was interested in F Rohan Boney on the Flagrant Fouls recruitment site. Since Mike is gone this year, I am anxious to find out who will be at the PG spot next year and the following year. Another star to look out for in this team is Forward Jake Babic 6'5 2014. Lets see how this team transitions without a few of their players in the upcoming season.
Dwayne Williams 6'1 G 2014
ReplyDeleteThe words “potential” and “prospect” are thrown around with such ease these days by scouts and reporters that the lines between actual players and kids who have played one good game at the right time have become more blurred than ever. Dwayne Williams understands this.
The thing is though; it takes more than just one good game to average 28.5 ppg last year playing for the Hull Dragons in the Montreal Basketball League.
It takes more than just one good game to win that same league’s MVP award, not to mention doing it at the age of 14 in the league’s Juvenile category ( 18 and under).
It takes more than just one good game to have an entire province’s basketball federation salivating at your every move, crossing their fingers that you plan on representing their name on your chest over the next few summers.
Dwayne Williams has proved, time after time, game after game that he deserves to be mentioned with the best of his class (2014), and it’s been that way for a while now.
Praised from right to left since he was thirteen years old, Williams has been running the point for Team Quebec’s U-15 squad and his game has continued to evolve to the point where he is now a 6-foot-1, 170 pounds score-first point guard who extremely smooth with the ball to go along with an impressive bag of tricks that allows him to get to the basket and finish seemingly at will.
Better yet, when defenders do find a way to stay in front of him and cut off his path, his basketball smarts and creativity as a playmaker allow him to find his teammates when they’re open.
Relentlessly looking to improve his game, Williams acknowledges his weaknesses.
“One aspect of my game I really need to improve is my shooting,” Williams said. “I’m not consistent enough yet.”
The Hull star will have the summer to work on his jumper as he balls with the AAU team Qc United and runs the show for team Quebec at this year’s Nationals in August.
After a summer of hard work, he’ll be taking his game down south, entering St. Mark’s High School in Massachusetts as a freshman in September, where he’ll try to leave his mark on the program just like he did on his province.
