Brandon Boston Jr. – Atlanta, GA

SG | 6-foot-6 | 175 lbs | No. 9 overall

Brandon Boston Jr. has a ridiculous ceiling. His skill level is likely to continue evolving due to his frame and he could also take the next level by storm simply adding more bulk to his frame. He already has an incredible wingspan and a great deal of athleticism so adding some muscle is simply the next step as he looks to fill out his frame. He is rated as the top 2020 prospect from the state of Georgia and boasts all of the physical tools needed to be a future star at the college level. Boston brings a lengthy 6-foot-6 frame to the wing as a shooting guard and his all-around game makes him awfully dangerous.

He can stroke it from beyond the arc, finish around the rim, and seems to rebound quite well for a guard. Boston is often able to use his height and length to sky for missed baskets while also locking down defensively on the perimeter. He has high potential as a two-way guard and it will be interesting to see how he develops in the near future. If he is able to develop as a secondary playmaker, then Boston could rise even higher in the 2020 player rankings.

While playing for the AOT Running Rebels on the EYBL circuit this past summer, Boston was superb. He participated in 21 total contests and averaged 16.5 points (.442/.407/.791), 5.5 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game. These numbers are extremely impressive and represent how well-rounded his game is.
