Players to watch: Senior guard Derrick Freeman is one of the most underrated guards in the area and junior Lucas Williamson is a talented wing who could have a big year. Sophomores Justin Boyd and Xavier Castenada have both earned some buzz within the city.
Did you know? Whitney Young will return to the Proviso West Holiday Tournament this December after playing in a series of national events the last few seasons.
Why they're in the Power Rankings: With a lot of young talent and a premier coach in Tyrone Slaughter, the Dolphins are looking like the favorite in the Red-West. The key could be Castenada, who has drawn a lot of praise from city basketball people, but he's battled injury and needs to stay healthy.
