2024 Brandon Callahan (GBC): Young prospect that should be one to watch in the Raleigh area. He has a natural, smooth feel to his game, knowing how to create space for himself and score, whether it is with his pull-up or getting downhill.
2023 Donovan Hagler (Carolina Stars): Hagler is a long, wiry prospect but with his length, he plays bigger than he is listed. He brings a lot of versatility to the floor, getting on the boards and making a presence down low, but knows how to operate and score off the dribble, creating for himself.
