LEADER!, TOUGH, STRONG PG who transferred to us last season and sat out (part-time to increase graduation chances) from D2 Lenoir Rhyne University where he would have been their starting point guard last season. Played limited minutes behind a senior during his freshman season there. As about as complete of a PG as you will see in all ways. Transferred JUCO with intent to move up in level. After having him in practice last season and him playing in early season jamborees his recruitment has picked up at the Mid-Major level with some high level interest as well. If he would've played this year he would have been the best PG in our region and we had a couple of D1 point guards last season in our league. Is a lot more athletic than he showed in these older videos. We have had 8 point guards sign D1 since 2008 and he has a chance to better than all of them.

SLEEPER! Long, tough athletic combo guard that played PG in high school. Didn't play for part of his 11th grade season and entire summer due to injury. Just fell through the cracks. High riser with ball skills and good court awareness. Really good off the dribble and attacking the basket and rebounding. Great size for position and can score in many ways.

Really good of the catch and reading screens. Both parents played D1 and Professionally, His brother and sister both played D1 and brother is currently playing pro in Europe. Plays hard 100% of the time and is a high percentage deep shooter to make up for it. Just knows how to play the game and has been taught well. Very mature game.

Good footwork and plays very well off the catch. His competitive nature will carry him until the strength and ball skills catch up. Really good rebounder with his slender frame however.

Really good at catch and shoot or rip and go. Can finish aggressively with either hand off either foot or off two with tremendous power. Really effective from the short corner and dunk spots. Needs to expand range but stroke looks good. Extremely hard worker with that football aggressive mentality that plays with a chip on his shoulder. The sky is the limit now that he is focusing on one sport.
Lance Anthony 6'2 PG / Raleigh, NC / Word of God Acad
https://youtu.be/-TO9XYB2dq8 (Senior Season Highlights)
Valedictorian of high school class with 4.3 GPA. Started 3 years for a talented Word of God team and played with a ton of good players. Super Smart and Pesky! OVER ACHIEVER. He is the kid that works so hard he makes the other team want to fight him but you want on your team. Scrappy, Savvy point guard who plays with a ton of energy and has really good court vision. Can get hot from the 3 as well. Will continuously improve and be the hardest worker on any team he plays on. He brings it every day so if his teammates don't he will expose them. Has a tendency to play too fast but as he grows and the game slows down for him and he adds strength he will help someone win a lot of games and even play his way up a couple of levels . Was leading scorer at Detour JUCO Showcase a week ago.

Davier Dixon 6'0 PG Charlotte, NC (Liberty Heights HS)
Super quick of pace point guard with extraordinary end to end speed. Really good pull-up game from deep and mid-range. At his best making other guys better-keeping team energized and organized. Menace on the defensive end. Red-shirted last season to recover from Achilles suffered in high school.
A.J. Rossi 5'10 PG Southport, NC (South Brunswick HS)
Local Kid, Tough physical point guard that adds depth to the talented guard group of point guards. Can get to the rim and finish with contact along with sticking the open jumper. Played for former college coach Scott Wainwright. Will be name to get familiar with going forward. His physicality at the point guard position will pay dividends.
