Pre- Season Predictions

League MVP:
Dean Tornaritis. This should surprise no one. Dean has torn up the league since entering under the franchise tag in 2013. We expect him to average at least 47 points per game and have a shooting percentage of 98% or better. The only thing that may hold Dean back is another concussion which affected his Varsity Soccer Season this year, but even if he misses half of the season he still would have a chance to capture the MVP title.
Other notable contenders are Zack Gavel, Jeremy Keast, Brian Scott, Kevin Connerty, Jacob Hickman and Nick Poitras (assuming he doesn't get 17 technicals and thrown out of the league)

Break Out Player:
Tristan Naboicheck. Nabo is well rested after taking the fall off, and is well prepared for this rec season. After hours of dedication on the new Library court, Nabo believes he is ready to make his mark on the league. Last year he showed his defensive prowess but he lacked any offensive ability. If you ask him he's "developed" a "jump shot" and will shock the league. Although this is up for debate we still believe he will be one of the more surprise impact players of the year.
Other notable contenders include: Connor Estes, Mathew Coda, and Justin Kavalowskas.

Rookie of the Year:
Elias Jiser: This kid was ranked in the top 12 thanks to the coaches who know him from his AAU and travel days. He is projected to be an impact player, most likely taking the reigns of the point guard position.
Other notable contenders are Tim Stark, Jack Foster, and Derek Carouso.

Defensive Player of the Year:
Nick Boggiano: Boge' is often ridden off as a basketball dud due to his height (or lack there of) but over last 3 years he has been a consistent defensive presence on the court. Following last years championship run on team Werner, we expect Boge' and his senior leadership to take control of his team's defense. With quickness and a his Boge' Cannon leg, don't be surprised if he ends up averaging 5 or more steals per game.
Other notable contenders are: Edward Hastings, Kevin Connerty and Joey Femia.
