UVa Targets in Boo Williams Tourney

Juniors Sylven Landesberg and Andre Jones were just a few of UVa’s potential targets on display at the Boo Williams Invitational this past weekend. Landesberg, rated in the top 100 prospects in the country, played for the Metro Hawks while Jones, a 6-2 guard out of Nansemond River High School (Suffolk, VA), played for Boo Williams Summer League. Both prospects have drawn serious interest from the ‘Hoos.

A 6-5 recruit out of Holy Cross High School in Flushing (N.Y.), Sylven Landesberg is rated a 5-star prospect by Scout.com and a 4-star recruit by Rivals.com. Playing guard and wing forward, he averaged 27 points, 12 rebounds and five assists per game this past season as a junior.

“I think I played pretty well,” Landesberg said of his junior season. “There are things I could have done better. I could have done a lot more for my team, but all in all I think I did pretty well.”

A versatile prospect, Landesberg could see action at the 1, 2 or 3 positions on the next level. He displays a good shooting stroke and is a smooth, controlled player out on the court. Going up against the competition he faces in his high school league has prepared him well for once he reaches the next level.
