6’8 2020 CJ Huntley (Davidson Day)

We have seen CJ Huntley several times and each time, he has shown tremendous improvement, tonight was no exception. Playing before college coaches from UNC-Greensboro, Davidson, Wofford, Bucknell and Charlotte, Huntley showcased why he is going to be a hot prospect in the North Carolina 2020 class. We’re talking about an ultra-smooth, fluid, and lengthy forward with an advanced skill set. Huntley can score from all three levels. has a soft shooting touch that extends beyond the 3-point line, can hit the mid-range off the dribble/bounce, and finish at the rim. More importantly, Huntley has extremely soft, passer friendly hands and nifty footwork in the paint, not to mention the ability to run the floor. Huntley finished with a game high 19 points including four 3-pointers. In addition, Huntley collected six rebounds and blocked three shots. We have stated previously that Huntley is a definite “buy now” prospect and expect this stock to elevate sooner rather than later.

6’5 2020 Jackson Threadgill (Davidson Day)

Jackson Threadgill has been a model of consistency throughout the season. He’s reliable, steady and just seems to make all the big shots within the framework of the offense. Nothing is ever rushed, forced or manufactured. His game should translate well at the collegiate level simply because he is so efficient in the half court. He moves well without the ball, is ready to catch and shoot in an efficient fashion, not to mention he has the ability to create his own shot off the dribble. Threadgill finished the game with 14 points including three 3-pointers. In addition, he collected five rebounds and dished out three assists. Simply put, he is just a complete all-around player that will garnish a lot of interest at the mid major level.
