So, I got curious the other day about high schools that churn out top basketball talent. You hear names thrown around, but one that kept popping up in conversations was Brewster Academy. I thought to myself, okay, how many actual NBA guys really came from this place? Is it just hype, or is it the real deal?
Naturally, the first thing I did was hop onto my computer. Didn’t do anything fancy, just typed stuff like “Brewster Academy NBA players” into the search bar. Simple as that. See what comes up, right?
Digging In
Right away, lists started showing up. A whole bunch of names. It wasn’t just one or two guys I kinda recognized; it was a stream of them. I started scrolling, kind of mentally ticking off the ones I knew for sure played in the league.
Let’s see, who did I spot first? Donovan Mitchell, that was a big one. Knew he was good, didn’t immediately connect him back to Brewster, but there it was. Then I saw TJ Warren. Okay, another solid pro. It started to paint a picture pretty quickly.
I kept looking through different articles and lists people had put together online. It’s like a factory or something over there. I saw names like:
- Will Barton
- Thomas Robinson
- Jeff Adrien (remember him?)
- More recent guys too… trying to recall… Jalen Lecque, I think?
It wasn’t super scientific, my method. Just browsing around, clicking on different pages that seemed to have lists or articles about their program. Some pages had longer lists, some shorter. I tried to stick with the names that appeared consistently across a few different places.
Putting it Together
Honestly, I was pretty surprised by the sheer volume. You expect some prep schools to be good, but the number of players who went from Brewster to the NBA is kinda wild. They must have something figured out over there in New Hampshire.
It’s clear they know how to develop talent or at least attract the best players heading towards college and the pros. Seeing that list grow as I searched definitely answered my initial question. It’s not just hype; they’ve got a serious track record.
So yeah, that was my little dive into Brewster Academy’s NBA connection. Started with a simple question, did some basic searching, and came away pretty impressed by the number of familiar names linked to that one school. Makes you wonder what their practices are like.
