Explorers Find Two Great Players
May 9, 2013

La Salle has received a commitment from two top players. Freshman shot-blocker Tony Washington who can play the forward or center positions. Transfer guard Cleon Roberts will have 3 years of eligibility remaining after sitting out next season.


Washington is 6-10, and 225 pounds. He is a superb rebounder and is a very good shot blocker. In his high school senior year he averaged 12.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game.


Roberts is 6-5 and 180 pounds. He started all 32 games and averaged 8.5 ppg. as a freshman at Georgia Southern. “He gives us an athletic, scoring guard with excellent size,” Coach John Giannini said. Roberts will be eligible to play during the 2014-15 season after sitting out a year due to NCAA transfer regulations.
