Lasme As Athletic As Any Guard In Country
Probably the name you hear most associated with great athletic point guards is Raymond Felton of Latta High School in South Carolina. Felton, who signed with North Carolina, has an incredible attitude, great skills, and the physical aspects to make him an impact player.
This past Saturday, rivalshoops.com had a chance to watch Mike Lasme, an athletic 6-0, 187-point guard from Life Center Academy in Burlington, New Jersey play again. And he continues to impress.

Lasme knocked in 31 points, including several end-to-end runs for pretty baskets. On one particular play, he stopped about five feet from the basket, and then elevated as if attached to a pogo stick. He slammed it home.
Lasme played this way for almost 32 minutes. But he was much better in his decision-making process. He has wonderful floor vision. His shot needs more consistency but doesn't everyone have a weakness in high school?
Massachusetts fans are going to be so happy when Lasme plays for them next season. Lasme has great confidence in his game and head coach Steve Lappas and his staff will look for ways to take advantage of Lasme's great athletic ability.
