By: SCOTT M. BURNSTEIN, February 5, 2021, 10:33 am

LAKES VALLEY CONFERENCE 2021 Boys Basketball Player Power Rankings

1 Kevyn Robertson (Walled Lake Northern 6-5 Sr. F) — Signed to Spring Arbor, Robertson is as smooth as silk on the wing and can do a little bit of everything.

2 Bennie Crenshaw (Waterford Kettering 6-0 Sr. G) — Signed to Ferris State, Crenshaw is a fearless floor general who plays much bigger than his size. 

3 Bryce Bird (South Lyon East Sr. 6-1 G) — Just a straight baller, everything you want in a point guard and playmaker out of the backcourt.

4 Zeke Price (Waterford Mott Sr. 6-4 F) — Hardest working man in the league in the frontcourt, in other words, a Hustle-and-Flow Special.

5 Jesse Lawson (Walled Lake Northern 6-4 Sr. G) — Big guard with a big motor and a high hardwood IQ.

6 Tray Solomon (Waterford Mott 6-0 Sr. G) — Poised for a breakout campaign, graceful in the open floor, lightning quick on his crossover and release, finisher at the rack. 

7 Juan Claudio (Waterford Mott 5-10 Jr. G) — Tough-as-nails competitor with maybe the most deadly in-the-lane floater in the LVC.

8 Eric Elizondo (Milford 5-10 Sr. G) — Plucky veteran point guard who plays with tons of spunk and is one of those guys who seems like he’s been the heart and soul of the Mavs program forever.

9 Andrew Turnquist (Lakeland 6-8 Soph. F) — Brimming with potential and a variety of prized assets as a perimeter threat, very well could be No. 1 on the list by the end of the 2021 season. 

10 Lucas Doty (South Lyon 6-3 Sr. G) — Crafty guard ooking to leverage a productive offseason into a banner campaign starring in the backcourt for the Lions.

Players to watch: Caleb Zurek (Lakeland Jr. F), Alex Klein (Walled Lake Northern Sr. G), Zander Desentz (South Lyon East Sr. G)
