Future Blue Devils Kyle Filipowski and Dereck Lively are both highly rated high school seniors, with both big men rated Five Star prospects.
They squared off Sunday at the Empire Invitational in Brooklyn and Jon Scheyer, Nolan Smith and Amile Jefferson were all there to watch.
Filipowski’s Wilbraham & Monson team beat Filipowski’s Westtown 59-54. If Westtown sounds familiar it’s because that’s where Cam Reddish went.
Lively scored 16 in the loss.
Filipowski’s coach, Mike Mannix, said this afterwards, according to Zagsblog.com: “Dereck and Kyle will be [a] fantastic combo next year.
