New England Renaissance Series: #4 Wayne Selden

The New England Renaissance Series is an ongoing countdown of some of the best prospects in the region regardless of class. It is important not to dwell on the order of the rankings but rather on the unprecedented amount of talent the region possesses.


#4 Wayne Selden (2014)
Height: 6'4   Weight: 200
Hometown: Boston Mass
School Team: Tilton
Travel Team: BABC
NERR Rank: 2    National Rank: 10

The Collective's love of Selden's game is well documented. The fact that he was just a freshmen last year is frightening. One could go on an on about all of Selden's tools, but his most impressive attribute is his killer instinct. Expect big things from this young man. Here is his ESPN evaluation and highlight video.


A powerful forward who already owns a man's body, Selden is strong as an ox and able to overpower virtually anyone in his age bracket. He goes strong to the rim, going right at any shot-blocker, and consequently getting to the free-throw line in high volume. He is at his best in the open floor where he combines his power with some break-away athleticism and good instincts. While he is naturally a good passer, his perimeter skill set is also coming along with both his three-point shot and mid-range pull-up vastly improved.
