Name: Edmond “Junior” Early
Height: 6’0
Weight: 170
Position: Point Guard
School: Thurgood Marshall
Hometown: Dayton, OH
AAU: All-Ohio Grey
Class: 2013
Evaluation: Speedy combo guard that can get in the lane and score at will. Skilled ballhandler with nice one on one moves, that he is able to execute at top speed, to blow by his opponent. Crafty enough to float or curl the ball in around taller players and simply explodes over smaller ones in the lane. Willing passer with good court vision that is learning to make the high percentage pass at all times. Solid shooter when left open that does a good job of getting his balance and hitting the mid-range pull-up. Very good on ball defender who plays with so pride. One of the most passionate and intense players in his class it can be either his undoing or his greatest strength as he matures.
Bottom Line: Junior will be one of the top players in Dayton over the next two seasons and will have every opportunity to play Division I ball. His key is keeping his emotions in check but maintaining his passionate aggressiveness. Very talented combo guard that puts non-stop pressure on the other team on both ends of the floor.
