9. David DeJulius (Detroit Edison Soph. G) – Thomas Edison would be beaming w/ pride because this diaper dandy playmaker can LIGHT IT UP like a charter school version of Steph Curry….Yeah, I Said It!!
10. Brailen Neely (Detroit Western Sr. PG) – Will go down as one of the great PSL floor generals, plays so much bigger than his size, so smart, definition of hardwood quarterback & a perfect mix of offensive instinct and ability to distribute
11. Ike Eke (Detroit UD-Jesuit Jr. C/F) – This kid’s upside is on the moon & the best is still yet to come
12. Justin Turner (Detroit Renaissance Sr. G) – Most underrated player in the PSL, straight KAGE KILLER out of the backcourt
