New England Renaissance Series: #5 Ricardo Ledo


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.


#5 Ricardo Ledo (2012)
Height: 6'6    Weight:180
Hometown: Providence, RI
School Team: Notre Dame Prep
Travel Team: Expressions Elite
NERR Rank: 3    National Rank: 22
It pains me that I have Ledo ranked this low but thats just how good New England is right now. Ledo was built to be a NBA wing. He already has the nuanced offensive game to be a one and done type of player in college. He is an extremely gifted mid range scorer and passer. Here is his ESPN evaluation and highlight tape.


Ledo is a pure scorer who is capable of getting buckets from any spots on the floor. He has great size for his position with a long build, explosive athleticism, and the full range of offensive skills. He is quick off the bounce with a tight handle and corresponding range to the arc off the rhythm dribble. He has great body control in the lane where he can finish either above his man or around multiple defenders he is very creative with his finishes. Watch him attack and beat the first defender then beat the help as his instincts to score are special.
