Top 5 Washington D.C. boys basketball players in Class of 2023
3. Thomas Batties II, Forward, Gonzaga
A strong contributor to a solid 18-12 Gonzaga Eagles team, Batties proved his worth in the front court. During the campaign, the 6-foot-6 junior averaged 7.3 points with 4.3 rebounds while shooting 47% over 30 games, leading his team to the DCSAA Class AA semifinals. Batties is rated as a three-star by 247Sports and in the top-100 small forwards for the class in the entire country. The junior held numerous offers from Division I programs including George Mason, Lehigh and Loyola University-Maryland but ultimately committed to Harvard in September.
Happy to announce that I am committed to the process of admissions at Harvard University!!
