Michael Sumner is a young man who thrives on competition as
he brings it every time he steps onto the court. Sumner has added some serious explosion
to his game and capable of scoring almost at anytime from anywhere on the floor
and he has the confidence to back it up. He is finishing with authority at the
rim off the deck and off the alley.
Sumner looked phenomenal in the transition game and exceled
in the fast tempo atmosphere of the CFC; he has the ability to be dominant in
this area. St. Mary’s Ryken is quietly building a powerhouse down in Waldof,
Md. with the addition of Sumner to a talented young core which includes 2015
Coach Francis Classic participant Mahki Long.
Mike continues to show great range on his jumper out to
23-24 feet which has been a staple of his game for years. He elevates into his
shot with power and likes to take a rhythm dribble before he launches his deep
3pointer.He is also deadly with a catch/shoot 3pointer.
The dribble drive is done with a quick first step and a
little shake and bake; as he gets in the paint easily and powers over or spins
around defenders. At 6’3 Sumner is a big time scoring guard who finishes his
drives with excellent body control athletic ability and toughness.
Recently he has displayed a pull-up jumper which when
utilize really enhances his overall offensive game, because he shoots deep 3's
or gets to the rim with regularity. Defensively, Sumner can be a tremendous on
ball defender. He gets down low and wide in his stance, and possesses good
lateral quickness. He can put pressure on the dribbler and still not allow him
penetration by his foot speed, strength and strong will.
