Candidates for best basketball player of 2012: Tarczewski, McGary, Goodwin, Ashley
Posted Jul 2, 2011
We looked at Shabazz Muhammad, Andre Drummond, Isaiah Austin and DaJuan Coleman -- the four players who will be at the top of the class. However, is there anyone else who could potentially crash the party and emerge as the No. 1 prospect in the class? Mitch McGary, PF, 6’10, Brewster Academy (N.H.): The fastest-rising player in the spring, McGary has the tools to make a run at the top spot. He has a nonstop motor and plays with reckless abandon around the rim. Kaleb Tarczewski, C, 7’0, St. Mark’s (Mass.): Tarczewski runs the floor as well as any big man in the country and is also a very solid passer. He is developing post moves and can finish with either hand.
