Basic Boys Basketball 2012-2013 Capsule

Head coach: Leonard Taylor, second season

2011-12 record: 12-13 (4-10 Southeast)

Returning lettermen (starters): Eight (five)

Top players: G Devonte Boyd (Sr.), G Jaylen Rose (Sr.), F Isaiah Villaros (Sr.), F Ryan Diggs (Sr.)

Outlook: Any time the number next to the words returning starters is five, it's bound to be a good season.

Rose scored at a 13.7-point per game clip, and Boyd averaged 13.4 ppg last season. Villaros chipped in 9.3 ppg and 7.0 rebounds per game. Together, they'll likely lead what should be a sharp offense.

"With hard work and dedication, we feel that we can compete for a state championship," Taylor said.
