Next up on Inside The Rim Texas Team Preview features an East Texas Powerhouse The Mount Pleasant Tigers who finished with an impressive record of 33-4 last season.
Team Summary
The Tigers are a well balanced team that boasts one of the top backcourts in the state with Sophmore Stud PG Payton Chism and 2021 CG Zaveion Chism-Okoh. In addition to the aforementioned Chism Cousins, the Tigers also return
senior guard Jakybrein Hines and junior Miller McCrumby who the coaches believe will have a breakout season this year.
Below I will be breaking down some of the players to watch on this year’s team:
Players To Watch
Payton Chism • PG • 2023
The smooth playmaking guard is one of the best point guards in the state for his class and his vision, IQ, tempo, pace and feel is very advance for his age. On top of being a good offensive player he is also productive as a defender and uses instincts plus basketball smarts to contain opposing guards.
Zaveion Chism-Okoh • CG • 2021
Long and lean combo that can score on or off the ball and has nice speed, athleticism, quickness to compliment his length. He is currently under recruited but his two-way ability and skillset will catch the eyes of several college programs soon!
Jakybrein Hines • PG • 2021
A strong built guard who has a football frame and is an assassin from deep and is a good athlete who excels in transition.
Conclusion
I expect this team to have another successful season and not Only be one of the top teams in their district but one of the top teams in Texas for the second year in a row.
