Tyree Pickron, Archbishop Wood. The junior wing was a second-team all-Catholic League coaches' selection last season. He has the ability to get to the basket and score in the mid-range.

Mahki Morris, Del-Val Charter. A senior guard who can score in a hurry, he helped the Warriors win Public League and District 12 Class 3A championships last season.

Elijah Kiah-El, Martin Luther King. The senior forward played at Washington last year and, at 6-foot-7, is adept at scoring down low.

Robbie Heath, Abington. The junior floor general does a nice job of distributing the ball to 6-6 forward Eric Dixon and fellow guard Lucas Monroe.
