Class of 2011 standouts

Anton Grady: One of the more impressive performances of the night came from Grady. A skilled power forward, Grady often brings the ball up the floor for his team, and initiates the offense with his high basketball IQ. At nearly 6-foot-8 with long arms, Grady is a tough matchup because of how he handles the ball, and with the way he passes. He isn't an explosive athlete or a great outside shooter, but Grady rebounded like crazy, and scored mid-range and in to account for 16 of his team's 39 points. Overall Grady looked excellent, and kept his squad in the game with his strong play on both offense and defense where he had no less than four blocked shots.

School Lists

Anton Grady | 6-8 | SF/PF | Cleveland Central Catholic | 2011
After leading his team to a state title last year, Grady had an outstanding performance on center stage at CSU. A true combo forward, he played all five positions at times for his squad and looked mighty good in doing so. “Silk” played much harder than usual, made good decisions with the ball in his hands, and scored in a multitude of ways. Grady also anchored Central’s 1-3-1 zone defense, manning the back line with his shot blocking prowess. The junior is still a bit under the radar nationally after playing with a small AAU team, but dude is still getting looks from Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, and Xavier.

I don't know if we're still pursuing or showing interest, but 6'8" is nice size for a SF.

With a solid crowd of coaches looking on, Grady was solid. The face up power forward hit shots out to 15 feet, and also finished with dunks off of pick and roll situations. His motor wasn't always turned on which was disappointing, but if he plays hard all the time he is going to be a major factor.
