The 1,000-point plateau for career scoring is a milestone many high school basketball players dream of achieving. In the last week, three players on MLive’s Mr. Basketball watch list had their 1,000-point dream fulfilled.
Detroit Douglass’ Pierre Brooks II and Iron Mountain’s Foster Wonders have had very impressive scoring campaigns as of late, averaging well north of 30 points in their previous handful of games. Julian Roper also had an impressive double-double in a matchup of the top two ranked team in the state.
Players on the Mr. Basketball watchlist below are presented in alphabetical order of last name.
