The 2013 – 2014 All Efficiency saw a dip in
performance. This may be the lowest
rated season. Normally an Efficiency
rating of below 30 would not land you on the first team but this year there was
several players with ratings below 30. Only 2 performers were able get a higher Efficiency rating of 30 with one performer hitting the elite 40+ club.
At the same time there was an exceptional performance by
Clarence Hoover that was worth even more than the Efficiency rating #’s given.
His 15 points 5 steal performance in the final 8 minutes of regulation against
a team that should be (in the Cardinal Fanatic opinion) Nationally ranked in
the 2014-2015 season, gives Hoover performance even more weight than the
numbers indicate.
We also saw a couple of first team repeaters and we witness
the highest rated sophomore in Tyus Battle of Gill St. Bernard and the highest
rated freshman in Marcus McLeary of the Patrick School.
2013-2014 Plainfield team had 2 under classmen make the 1st
team, which was last done in 2011 when Justin Sears and Jahmal Lane were
juniors. If these two young studs play
with more consistency next year, Plainfield will be looking for their 5th
sectional crown in 7 years.
TEAM TO WATCH FOR THE 2014-2015 SEASON!!
Roselle Catholic put 8 different players on the various
All-Efficiency list. What is even more
impressive all 8 players will be returning.
Just to add reason why Roselle Catholic should be ranked nationally next
year, they will be adding one of the best 8th grade players in the
country in Asbury Park’s 6’9” phenom, Nazreon Reid. With a front line of 6’10”, 6’9” and 6’9” with multiple players
off the bench over 6’7”, Roselle Catholic should be the clear favorite to win
the TOC in 2015. Roselle Catholic also
will have Pre-Season Player of the Year, Isaiah Briscoe, to solidify the most
talented overall team the Cardinal Fanatic has seen since the St. Patrick team
of Dalembert (New York Knicks) and Harrington (Washington Wizards) that finish
the year #1 in the nation. By the way,
Roselle Catholic’s shortest players on the team, Asante Gist and Kameron David are
arguable 2 of the best returning pure shooters in the state. The Cardinal Fanatic will be sitting front row for next years match-up between Roselle Catholic and Kevin Boyles #1 team in the nation, Montverde Academy of Florida.
With that all said lets look at the top Efficiency
Performance of the 2013 – 2014 season.
Next up Honorable Mention.
