2020 Isaac Boothe (Concord First Assembly): Even though an undersized point guard, Boothe plays with great confidence and under control on the floor. He has tremendous handles, doesn’t turn the ball over, and understands how to get this team clicking. Boothe also finds a way to get the ball on the rim to contribute in the scoring column.
2021 Trae Benham (Concord First Assembly): Benham continues to shine in his role for this team, as his development and overall game has really taken off over the years. Benham showed great poise and control on the floor, playing unselfish basketball but finding his shot as well. He also gets it done on the defensive end and shows an underrated vision on the floor as well.
2021 Russell “RJ” Felton (Aiken): What is there not to like about RJ… The man seems to be on a mission to prove that he is one of the best in the state and it is hard to not put him up in the discussion. Felton has the mindset to attack and kill on the floor but also is a great teammate. He is humble and polite when you talk to him, but he is looking to take everyone on when he steps on the floor. He scored in every way possible and continues to shine on the defensive end of the floor as well. He played incredibly well on his way to 28 points for Aiken.
2021 Rahmel Bell (Burke): With a 6’4 frame on the floor, he surprised us with his ability to be a knockdown shooter on the court. Time and time again, he made defenses pay when they played off of him from the 3-point line but you also have to respect his size ability to put it on the floor.
2020 Khyree Thompson (Burke): Thompson really played well, getting downhill and continuing to attack the defense. Thompson excelled pushing the tempo with the ball in his hands and finishing at the rim with some craft to his game. He can make himself smaller to find those small openings but also plays incredibly tough.
2020 Wendell Seabrook (Charleston Math & Science): Seabrook was aggressive and showed good speed on the court. His aggressiveness led to 16 points in the game, as he attacked the rim, used his length as a guard to finish over defenders, as well as get to the line at times.
2021 Mason Grant (Porter-Gaud): Grant is a name to really start keeping an eye on. Only 6’4, he plays much bigger than listed. He showed that he has a great feel with the back to the basket and solid post moves despite being 6’4, but also explosion at the rim, versatility by stepping out, and the ability to be incredibly active on multiple levels. He finished through contact, showing his strength as well.
2020 Nick Pringle (Whale Branch): Even though his team struggled, Pringle showed flashes of why he was a target by many coaches. Not many prospects can handle, put the ball on the deck, and block shots on the defensive end. His length and versatility will translate nicely at the next level.
2020 Chai Kirshtein (Porter-Gaud): There is something about a scrappy guard that is willing to put his body on the floor for his team. Kirshtein was all over the place, creating havoc on the defensive end, diving after balls, and just playing hard all night long.
