Team Carolina Raptors
Age Group 17U
6'6' 2020 Ethan Hefner Carolina Raptors
Ethan is a pure shooter. Corner specialist who at 6'6' still is
growing! Once he adds on to his frame, he will be a scary site to see
at the rim. His athleticism is very intriguing to see in person and his
first step is absolutely lethal. He is in the top 3 in his conference in
high school athleticism-wise. He has the attitude to do whatever it
takes to win and puts his team before himself. Ethan's shot form is
pure with a quick release, very enjoyable to watch the ball leave his
hands. 3.6 GPA and a National Honor Society member, he is a very
coachable player and a great teammate to have.
6'1' 2018 Tai Giger Carolina Raptors
Unsigned Senior combo-guard who led his Carolina Day Wildcats in
scoring this year and last year. Tai is strong framed at 185 pounds
and he knows how to finish at & around the rim. He can shoot the
ball very well off the dribble and catch and shoot just as well. One of
his biggest strengths is to close out games. Tai is a dangerous threat both on the perimeter and in the paint against smaller guards.
6'7' 2019 Brion 'BJ' McLaurin Carolina Raptors
BJ grew about an inch or two since last summer! BJ is a rebounding
machine who can put in on the floor at times and lead the break. BJ
looks to finish at the rim; much improved jump shot and can knock
down the three occasionally. BJ's most slept on attribute is his
timing for blocks. Once he adds on more to his frame along with his
ball-handling, he will be a force to be reckon with.
6'3' 2019 Shemarri Allen Carolina Raptors
Shemarri has very good court vision and looks to get his teammates
going. He uses size and length to his advantage on defense with
steals and deflections. Shemarri knows how to keep the defense
honest with his offense skillset that involves the 3, pull-up jumpers,
floaters, and layups. Shemarri continues to build on his strength as
a floor general and has improved season by season.
