I like Lanaki Apele from Kamehameha. I never knew that he was a sophomore. Great ball-handling and has nice touch on his shot.
Jacob Andrade from St.Josephs should be one of the top guards on the island this year.
Jake Vallente from Honokaa is another good one. Great shooter and very competitive. Great at driving to the basket and drawing fouls.
Kamu Lorenzo is probably the most versatile player on the island. Has the strength to play under the basket even with average height. Can hit the 3 and rebound and has very good ball-handling for someone his size.
Tyler Meyer has to relax and play his game. It seems as if hes struggling with his expectations as being one of the best shooters in the BIIF. Great shot and good height, has been missing easy shots and layups
