Sixth Man of the Year
Daesean Ashley - Amherst, Freshman
6.6 PPG / 3.5 RPG / 2.0 APG / 2.0 SPG
The future is bright for the Tigers with three varsity seasons ahead for this young floor general. Ashley came off the bench at Amherst, but stayed in the game once he did, only coming back out of the game to rest. The freshman made great decisions, provided scoring, and let the game come to him - showing an understanding of the game that extended far beyond his experience. When the Tigers beat Williamsville South, Ashley scored 12 points and played a huge role in the victory. In a win over McKinley at the MLK Classic, he scored 15 points, grabbed seven boards, and dished six dimes. He is certain to be a starter and team leader next season.

I'm no where on this list and I had better numbers then some people on here. Smh
Posted by: Justin Allen | Sunday, April 09, 2017 at 07:38 PM
Justin u do deserve to be on here. Keep working hard in the classroom and on the court. Your time will come. Congrats to all the guys on this list. For those of u who may have been overlooked.....stay in the gym. Guys in this area need to be training year round. Lets keep building basketball up in Western New York.

I'm absolutely no where on this list this is crazy focus to much on people who are hyped up
Posted by: Justin Allen | Monday, April 10, 2017 at 12:03 PM
Justin's right
Posted by: Dom | Monday, April 10, 2017 at 03:45 PM
Who is Justin Allen? Who did he play for? What were his season averages? And, as CC has made clear - don't just say that someone should make it. Tell us who you should make it over and why....
Posted by: Adam | Monday, April 10, 2017 at 07:30 PM
Justin Allen is a junior forward for East High. Probably their second best player. He made second team all Yale Cup I. There were two players on the first team of Yale Cup I, Tyreek Edwards and Nakye Booze that also didn't make it to the All Centercourt Team so it's really no surprise that Justin didn't make it.

Don't get how Hutchins is on 3rd team when Wiley, Hines , and Fulciniti were all big players in big games.
Posted by: WNY PROSPECT | Tuesday, April 11, 2017 at 12:28 PM
This has to be the lowest number of BPS players on the all-star teams in it's history. Not surprising to me either, based off of the quality of play this year. Although when you look at their all-star team list from league play, everyone was named to 1st/2nd/3rd/HM.
Posted by: Not surprising | Tuesday, April 11, 2017 at 05:40 PM
Willard Anderson is on 2nd team and East couldn't even win class C this year. How good could Justin Allen even be? You would need more kids from Randolph first, because they beat East, unless Justin Allen wasn't playing that night.
Posted by: Pete | Tuesday, April 11, 2017 at 10:48 PM
Matt Burney should be on this list he is a elite post man wih grata finishing around the rim and he swats anything in sight
Posted by: Damion | Wednesday, April 12, 2017 at 11:05 AM
Can't question the Hutchins kid from park especially not with those names WNY. I like kids mentioned but they are where they belong.
Posted by: Hal Bennet | Wednesday, April 12, 2017 at 06:18 PM
Curious to of why you have Hutchins 4th team, when all WNY and catholic don't even have him at all, understand he has a lot of talent and offers, just didn't think he produced well enough to earn that position, feel like he held back from what he really could've done this season
Posted by: Q | Sunday, April 16, 2017 at 11:51 PM
Hutchins is top 5 in the area (Maybe 2 with Welch gone). With a stacked team not likely he will make a top team but does well with what he needs to do. Like 'Facts' said I doubt he cares. Anybody believe Dolan should have gotten player of the year instead?!
Posted by: Clyde Carpenter | Monday, April 17, 2017 at 11:00 AM
I think Hutchins cares more now that he made Centercourt's 4th team after the Buffalo News didn't have him in their top 20 but had two of his teammates in the top 20.
