Prime Time Players
REEVES NELSON
Nelson is one of the country's top power forwards,
and he's rated as the No. 77 player in the ESPNU
100. The UCLA commit was also an ESPN RISE first
team All-Area selection last year.
HOLLIS THOMPSON
The No. 75 player in the ESPNU 100, Thompson
transferred to De La Salle from a Los Angeles
school over the summer. The smooth small
forward has committed to Georgetown.
DAMON POWELL
Powell was a rock for McClymonds last season,
leading the team in scoring with 16.1 points per
game. He also pulled down a team-high 7.9
rebounds per game.
WILL CHERRY
Cherry's steady hand at the point guided McClymonds
to a state championship last season. He
averaged 11.9 points, 4.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds
and 3.0 steals per game.
Coach's Take
AN AREA COACH ON BRANDON SMITH:
"Talk about leaders. That's a team with All-Stars
at every position, but you can tell that everyone
knows who's the boss. You look at him and you
can say he's small or undersized, but he impacts
the game as much as anyone."
