6'7 '21 Dontrez Styles (Kinston)
There's an abundance of talent from the Kinston area, and their current star is quite obviously Styles. He's a long, physical, versatile two-way wing/forward prospect with excellent feel and the ability to cause matchup problems on both ends of the floor. Styles is a great athlete that loves to get downhill and attack the basket but also has the ability to knock down jumpers at a pretty efficient clip from midrange and beyond the arc. He's certainly done a great job of making his case as North Carolina's top prospect in the Class of 2021, so it'll be exciting to track his recruitment going forward.
6'8 '20 Luke Davis (Moravian Prep)
Although Hall, Harvey, and Moore tend to receive a lion's share of the attention for Moravian Prep, Davis is arguably just as valuable as anyone. Even throughout this current season, he's developed tremendously and continues to do whatever this team needs to win. Davis is long and athletic but doesn't necessarily require offensive touches to make a constant impact. He maintains an active motor, great toughness, and does the little things that every team needs in order to win.
6'8 '21 Eric van der Heijden (Millbrook)
It's easy to like this Millbrook team and there's an obvious reason as to why they've been so successful this season, and van der Heijden is a massive part of that. The newest addition to the public school powerhouse already has a seamless fit within their system and regularly showcases flashes of high-level ability on both sides of the ball. Van der Heijden has the physical appearance of a forward/post prospect but moves and plays like a guard. He shoots the ball at a reliable clip from the perimeter but also looks very comfortable putting the ball on the floor and making plays for himself or others off the bounce. His recruitment should take off over the next calendar year.
6'0 '20 Creighton Lebo (Greenfield)
We've seen hundreds upon thousands of players that might not 'look the part' but still end up being dominant, and that describes Lebo exceptionally well. He might not appear to be an absolute dog and two-way killer, but he lets his game do the talking. Lebo is a smart, steady point guard presence with a phenomenal blend of playmaking and three-level scoring. He's a leader in every sense of the word and will ultimately be a steal for whatever coach gets him, as he's a true winner that makes everyone around him better.'
6'7 '20 Kaleb Scott (Holly Springs)
There were numerous standouts for Holly Springs but none more reliable than Scott, who was tasked with the toughest matchup and did an exceptional job on both ends of the floor. He utilizes his strength and physically-advanced frame incredibly well to secure position and apply scoring pressure from the post. Scott is a great two-way rebounder with quality vision, toughness, and defensive instincts. He should have a very productive career at Georgia State.
6'11 '20 Isaiah Todd (Word of God/Michigan commit)
By now, there's nothing Todd does that should surprise anyone, as he arguably possesses the most pro-level tools of any senior prospect in high school basketball. When motivated, few players in the country are more dominant than Todd. He legitimately has the full arsenal, both physically and in terms of skill, and could truly be better beyond the high school level. Todd is very versatile and causes matchup problems simply by stepping onto the court.
6'2 '21 Carter Whitt (Leesville Road)
Already known as one of the best true point guards around, Whitt has done a ton of developing on his overall scoring ability over the last calendar year. He's featured in various different roles for this Leesville Road squad, still showing his ability to be a floor general but also working a lot without the ball to force a different dynamic. Whitt simply sees the game multiple steps ahead of other players and has improved nicely as a defender and rebounder.
5'9 '21 Daeshaun Ruffin (Callaway)
Despite some early shooting struggles, it's easy to see why there's so much buzz surrounding Ruffin. He's small, but so incredibly dynamic and possesses effortless creation skills, legitimately able to create clean opportunities for himself and others out of thin air. Ruffin is quick, smart, and crafty, making him nearly impossible for opposing guards to keep in front. He plays with a certain edge and possesses a Carsen Edwards-like game, given his ability to absolutely light it up.
