Lamin Fulton 5’9″ 175lbs. G Philadelphia, PA – Neumann Goretti
What they’re saying about Fulton – Steve Keller/The National Recruiting Report: “He’s short, but pretty well-built. He’s hard-nosed and physical. In high school, he was always in line because there were so many good guards ahead of him. He’s a late bloomer. He took advantage of his opportunities. He’s a little bit of everything, but not a specialist in one thing. He was at his best at the end of his senior year.”
Bob Gibbons/ All Star Sports: “He’s a true point guard. He played for a really good high school team. He has a chance to step right in and play and to make major contributions down the road. He should challenge for a starting position. If not, he should be the first guard off the bench. I like his toughness and leadership skills. ”
Gaetano Spera 6’11” 200lbs. F Marigliano, Italy – Scientific HS
