Before that, he was the 6th man off the bench. Since starting, he has displayed an excellent feel and natural ability for the game of basketball. He is quick, agile, versatile and able to make plays happen in difficult situations. He has been known to hit a 3 pointer once in a while. He scored 22pts and was key in the Lakers win against Stanley on Feb. 20th. I see a great future for him.
Another name to keep in mind for DLB is Freshman Aaron Grandy (5'8-5'9 I think). He is poised to be, I predict, one of the best point guards in Region6( or even in the state) in the next few years. He is a leader and has a very good understanding of the game. What he lacks in height he makes up for with his quickness, insight(assists per game) and his awesome 3 point shot. He plays JV & gets a significant amount of playing time for the varsity team. There are great things ahead for this young man!!
I've seen DLB's A and B team play quite a few times, and I definitely don't disagree there is a lot of young raw talent there.
The exciting thing is though, that there is young talent throughout the region, nothing will be made easy for DLB.
As for Aaron Grady, he's got big young point guard competition from Trent Marquart (Glenburn), Dylan Lund (Sawyer), Cole Bethke (TGU), and some kid from Our Redeemer's JV who is injured (Anyone know his name?). But this competition will only make the players better.
DLB could really give the region a run for their money in a few years, but so will Bishop Ryan, Rugby, Our Redeemer's, maybe even MLS. I really can't wait to see what happens in the future with these teams.
