Coming off the 2016-2017 season where he led Orangeville Prep to an OSBA Championship and was named League and Finals MVP, ‘Iggy’ has showed no signs of slowing down. For a second straight year he is looking to lead the league in scoring and is on pace for a third straight OSBA 1st Team All Star selection. His size at 6’8, coupled with his ability to finish with either hand through contact, and shooting the 3 at a high clip makes him almost unguardable. He is a matchup nightmare for opposing teams being able to score at will.

Will attack the paint and keeps the defense honest by being able to dish off a pass for a basket. He has range to his jump shot, but can also be a handful around the rim, showing he is capable of hitting the floater and finishing with either hand.

Explosive athleticism is an understatement for Brandon John. The 6’9 forward prays on rims all around the OSBA. One of the league’s top rebounders, John is a force in the paint. The crafty senior is able to make tough finishes around the rim and has the ability to knock down the mid range jumper.
