Frankie Andrew Policelli (born April 11, 2000)[1] is an American professional basketball player for the Long Island Nets of the NBA G League. He spent the majority of his college basketball career with the Stony Brook Seawolves, also playing a year for the Dayton Flyers and Charleston Cougars.
Early life
Policelli grew up in New Hartford, New York with his parents Angie and Frank. His father Frank is an attorney in Utica.[2]
He began his high school career at New Hartford Senior High School, playing for head coach John Randall. He averaged 13.5 points per game as a freshman and 20.3 as a sophomore. His junior season, where he averaged 28.1 per game, was cut short in January after requiring season-ending knee surgery. He was ranked among the nation's top 100 juniors by HoopSeen.[3]
For his senior year, he transferred to Long Island Lutheran High School in Brookville, New York. Policelli said, "I felt like if I stayed in New Hartford, it would have been more like last year. I would play hard sometimes when I needed to and other times I would do what I want. If I went to a harder school, physically... I'd have to play my hardest every single minute."[4] He was named a USA Today second-team All-New York selection and Mr. New York State Basketball finalist.[2]
As a three-star recruit, he made official visits to Dayton, George Washington and Stony Brook. 247Sports ranked him as the seventh-best overall recruit in New York and the 63rd-best small forward in the country.[5] On April 23, 2018, Policelli officially committed to Dayton.[6]
