Welcome back folks! We recently had the opportunity to catch up with 2012 basketball prospect, Junior Lomomba. Lomomba, a dynamic wing player out of Madison, Wisconsin, is currently having an excellent beginning to the Summer AAU schedule for his new AAU club, "The Family" out of Michigan. We gave him the standard "kicking the tires" questions just to get more familiar... hope you enjoy it.
SycamorePride.com: What is your current height and weight?
Junior Lomomba: I'm 6'4" and about 185 pounds.
SP: How did your recent high school basketball season go? Stats?
JL: My high school season went pretty well overall. I missed half of the season due to a hand injury, but managed to get back on the court. We lost in the championship game. I averaged somewhere around 11 points and 10 rebounds per game. I don't really know how many assists.
SP: Have you set any personal goals for your upcoming AAU basketball season?
JL: My goals for this summer are to get better everyday, receive more scholarships from college coaches and hopefully move up in the rankings.
SP: How would you describe your game? Are there any players (college or pro) that you try to model it after?
JL: I'm a guard who likes to get to the rim to score and create for my teammates. Lately I have been watching a lot of J'rue Holiday, Russell Westbrook and Tyreke Evans.
