One of the best pure scorers that we've seen around here in the last few years ---- Vassell could definitely light up the scoreboard.
Sometimes, a picture (or in this case, video) is worth a thousand words. And thanks to YouTube, we have a couple highlights from Boyd's HS career at Eastwood.
He dropped 52 (which may have been 55 as the scorekeepers gave one of his 3s to a guy that didn't play) points against Cameron Heights in a game during the 2008-09 season. YouTube has the highlights:
Here's another clip of Vassell winning a semifinal game at the buzzer in the Resurrection Senior Boys' Tournament:
Vassell is now suiting up for Iowa Central Community College (NJCAA) where he averaged 4.0 PPG, 0.8 AST and 0.3 REB as of February 25th. He's shooting a remarkable 90% from the free throw line.

Thought Boyd may have been a little higher on the list.
ReplyDeleteVassell was an amazing talent to watch. Unfortunately I believe he was held back some because of the lack of talent around him at Eastwood.
Imagine him on an SJAM or even Cameron Heights.
