'12 OH SG Geovonie McKnight

Rising Middletown, Ohio shooting guard. Listed at 6'2" and 180 lbs. he has good size and room to continue to grow and get even stronger.

Strengths:
Giovanni is one of the top sleepers in the 2012 class of Ohio. He had an average high school season this past year but has exploded so far this summer (2010). McKnight is athletic and skilled and plays in attack mode most of the time. He is a scorer by nature and his mid range game is solid. He can get in the lane and finish at the rim or pull up and shoot over his opponent. He has some explosion to get by his defender and has enough bounce to finish.

Weaknesses:
He is a streaky shooter with range to 20 feet.

Bottom Line:
Defensively he showed good effort and has a strong body and solid length. Giovanni has very nice tools. As long as he is consistently productive his stock will continue to rise.

Had a great game against #1 Moeller last night. This from the Enquirer:

On offense the Middies relied on post player Kirby Wright, who totaled 20 points and 10 rebounds, and guard Geovonie McKnight, who had 24 points and 10 rebounds.

He is also the cousin of former Ohio State football player Andre Amos , former Purdue basketball player Brandon McKnight, and also cousin to current Bowling Green football player Nick McKnight..
