3rd Team All-Efficiency

Top Efficiency Performance of the 2011 – 2012 Season in a Plainfield Game –

3^rd Team All Efficiency 2011-2012

11) Gill St. Bernard – Dominic Hoffman {ER-26} vs. Plainfield

The Bucknell bound Hoffman earned the 3^rd double double performance of the game.  Hoffman was perfect from the foul line to help him score 12 points to go along with his team high 13 rebounds.  Hoffman also dropped off 2 assists, picked up a steal and rejected a team high 3 shots.

-Arguably the best big man in Somerset County and a first team Central Jersey player, Bucknell will be getting a quality player.  Penn, Lafayette and Rider were all looking for Hoffman to come to their schools.  Dominic should do well in the Patriot Conference in 2012-2013.

12) St. Benedict – Melvin Johnson 6’3” {ER-25} vs. Plainfield

Melvin Johnson is another long list of guards out of New York City.  Melvin transferred from Rice (NY), which shut its doors at the end of the previous scholastic year.  A resident of Harlem and headed to the University of Miami, the Cardinal Fanatic knew that Johnson would play a key role for the Grey Bees.  Johnson did just that by earning Hoops Group MVP with his game high 27 points.  Johnson also had 2 steals and 3 assists.  Melvin was very efficient as the guard had a 3:1 assist to turnover ratio.

-Melvin is one of the East Coast best long-range shooters.  Will Melvin make the University of Miami Fanatics forget about former Hurricane James Jones long distance exploits (currently with the Miami Heat)?  Melvin has the ability to do just that.

13) Asbury Park – Amir Conover 6’1” {ER-25} vs. Plainfield

The Twins played exceptional.  Amir shot 70% from below the arc, which was impressive considering he was shooting over defenders with a 5-inch advantage!  Amir was able to score 14 points, grabbed a team high tying 6 rebounds (Armond Conover also with 6 rebounds), a game high 5 steals, a game high tying 6 assists (Plainfield’s Sekou Harris also with 6 assists) and 1 rejection.

-After suffering through scholastic eligibility requirements during his freshman and sophomore years, Amir (and twin brother Armond) has blossom very well.  Coach Lubreski of Plainfield explained, “Amir and Armond have grown as young men as individuals and athletes.”   Amir who was a stand out member of the state championship football team for Asbury Park may have multiple options on which sport to play at the next level. 

14) Colonia – Senior Jordan McDaniel 6’5” {ER-24} vs. Plainfield

Jordan McDaniel may be one of the most talented bball players from Middlesex County that no one has really heard about.  After putting up 32 points to upset Somerville in the first round, Jordan did his best to pull off another upset.  Jordan shot 67% from beyond the arc and was perfect from the foul line to score a game high 21 points.  Jordan also grabbed 5 rebounds, picked up 1 steal and dropped off 1 assist.  Plainfield played an excellent defensive game but McDaniel’s only committed 1 turnover.

- Jordan has exceptional talent and good size.  The future college student is looking to major in Criminal Justice.  The Cardinal Fanatic predicts if Jordan does not go D1 or D2, McDaniel will be a problem at the D3 level.  Jose, (William Paterson) I think this would be a good pick up for you.  Jordan is the Cardinal Fanatic sleeper of the 3^rd Team All Efficiency.

15) Plainfield – Senior Ahmid Williams 5’9” {ER-23} vs. Linden

Ahmid shook off the early game nervousness to drop 16 points.  Ahmid amass his scoring output by shooting a sizzling 80% below the arc and 40% from behind the arc.  Ahmid added to his efficiency by dishing out a game high tying 5 assists.  Williams finished the game with an efficient 5:2 assist to turnover ratio.

-The lightning quick Ahmid Williams was an added plus to the already talented back court of Plainfield.  His on the ball defense may be the best in the state. Ahmid was first team All Middlesex County last year with Cardinal McCarrick.
