2023 Tim Hall (Westminster Catawba): One of the most memorable performances at the event was how dominant 2023 Tim Hall Jr. was, putting up an impressive 31-point, 15-rebound showing in a tough loss. Hall was simply unstoppable throughout the game, using his size, showing his athleticism, and his overall impact on both sides. Hall seems to be going under the radar, as when you dive into his numbers this season, he has been a monster all season long and producing impressive double-doubles. He opened up some eyes at the event in a big way.
2024 Jordan Patton (Chambers): Patton is a name we continue to mention, and we are thinking some will start to recognize. Patton is simply that x-factor that you want to have on the court; whether it is his ability to be a scoring factor, his 6'4 frame and versatility, his ability to be strong on the boards and defend multiple positions' Patton just simply does what is needed for his team and has been that for his team this season.
2024 Joe Rhyne (Gaston Christian): Rhyne continues to be a player that grabs our attention, as he can be regarded as one of the top shooters from deep in the state of North Carolina. Rhyne is a smart guard that shows the ability to make tough plays off the dribble but can be a game-changer when he is able to get to his spots and knock down shots with terrific range. He did just that throughout the event, as he can certainly light it up and be a 3-point specialist for a college program at the next level.
2024 Kyrell Shaw (Northside Christian): Shaw is another guard that does a great job in being an x-factor for his team, especially when he is able to knock down shots from behind the arc. The younger brother of KC Shaw, Kyrell's game brings more of a perimeter feel but with good length like his brother. Shaw is playing with so much more confidence and is putting up big numbers this season to help his team.
2024 Ahmed Jawo (SE Guilford): Jawo is a new name that quickly grabbed our attention, as the 6'9 prospect is raw in areas but you can see the flashes that he possesses with his ability. Jawo was active, made quality decisions, used his length extremely well on both sides of the ball, was mobile and played with energy, and was strong on the glass. With his length and wingspan, along with his continued development, Jawo is a player that could quietly sneak onto college coaches' radar.
