Via Scott Burnstein – FIVE FOR FIGHTING — The 2024 LVC Boys BBall MIP Rankings
1 Nick Hopkins (Walled Lake Central 6-0 Sr. G) — Witness the QUICKNESS, this kid took it up several notches in the dynamic playmaker department this winter, making boss moves all over the place in ’24
2 Graham Braun (South Lyon 6-7 Jr F)— Punishing and persistent presence in the frontcourt that has improved steadily since last spring and has the chance to be dominant in his senior campaign next season
3 Gavin Ort (Waterford Mott 6-5 Jr. F) — Sir-Grind-A-Lot Sixth Man with a high ceiling and a nasty-as-I-want-to-be mentality mixing it up with opponents on the glass and going after loose balls
4 Drew Smith (Walled Lake Northern 6-6 Sr. F/C) — Plays basketball with a football players mentality, warrior’s spirit
5 (tie) Owen Stark (Milford 6-2 Jr. G)— Does all the little things, does all the big things, doesn’t get enough credit
5 (tie) James Stevenson (Milford 6-7 Sr. F/C)— Underrated in so many ways, kills the competition softly
