As the fall signing period is around the corner, 2018 prospects have chosen the site of where they want to continue their education after high school. While numerous players have found a home, there are many prospects that are available and texasboysbasketball.com is embarking on a 3-part series to take a look at available prospects in 2018.
Demarcus Fisher, C/PF – Roosevelt: The athletic forward in the summer for Dallas Showtyme caused havoc due to his relentlessness on the boards and as a rim protector. The Roosevelt product struggles to generate own shot but his athleticism, ability to run the floors and productivity on the defensive end makes the staff believe he can play at the next level.
Kevin Obanor, PF – Genesis International: The staff got to see Obanor at the Main Floor and came away impressed with his two-way production for Texas Pro. Obanor throws his body around in the paint, rebounds and is a solid finisher around the rim. The strong interior talent sits at #54 in our TBB rankings after a strong performance in the July Live Period.
Souleymane Doumbia, C – Athlos: The rim protecting big man for Athlos will contest any shot that even sniffs the paint and Doumbia has progressed as an offensive player during the club basketball season. He showed capable of hitting the 12-15 ft jumper and although undersized at the 5, Souleymane makes up ground with his length and high activity.
Melvin Davis, C – Pro-Vision: The big, wide bodied Davis was another prospect that caught our attention at the Main Floor. The lefty big man has shown to be a viable option on the block and at the JUCO/Prep Showcase looks to have lost weight and was moving better on the floor for longer periods of time.
