Girard dominated New York State class B competition. For reference James Bouknight won class B player of the year, led his team to a state championship, was named playoff & championship game MVP, nearly broke the class B single season scoring record....as a sophmore.
Plus, how does he effectively play at the top of their zone?
My brother-in-law (former high school coach on Long Island) lives in the Glens Falls area and knows the Fredette family and the Girard family and still argues with me that Jimmer is an NBA player in spite of the teams not wanting him. Told me Girard is even better but it might be a little too early to tell a few games into his freshman year.
