New names continue to pop up around the state of North Carolina that fans and followers need to start to watch out for. There are two young 2024 guards that we are keeping an eye on over the last few months and have started out strong this high school season, as they are looking to lead the charge.
2024 Quay Watson and 2024 Jullian Mack are two names you might be familiar with from the summer but they are playing extremely well to start the season at Hopewell, helping lead the charge early on. We got a chance to watch both in action at the Charlotte Hoops Challenge and we were impressed.
To start, when watching Hopewell in action vs. Berry, Watson absolutely stole the show. But that is becoming more of a regular outing for the young, tough guard. The 2024 point guard plays with such a great feel for the game and brings a playmaking ability to the court. He has a sturdy frame, is able to embrace contact, has shifty moves with the ball in his hands, and can really score the ball in a variety of ways. Really like his toughness and awareness on the court, which is something he has shown consistently over the summer and now into the start of the season. He is averaging nearly 28 points per game, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists to start the season.
