Stock Risers : Big Shots – Myrtle Beach, SC
The competition was great all weekend long at the 8 court Myrtle Beach Sports
Center. Prep Hoops took in all the action. Here are some players from the weekend
that saw there stock rise.
Darren Grainger (2018) – Conway HS – Ascend Ballers AAU
Grainger didn’t play at all during the high school after being sidelined with a injury.
Grainger has shaken off the rust and looked really good all weekend long. Grainger 6’4
hit several three pointers and at times brought the ball up the floor. Grainger should
see his recruitment to start to move now that he’s back in action. Grainger will at times
play with All or Nothing AAU.
Travis Brown
Travis “TJ” Brown (2018) – Dreher HS – Lower Richland Promise
Brown capped off the weekend with a 24 point outing versus Flight 22 Select (NC).
Brown made several three pointers while showing a nice mid-range game. Brown
tends to be very consistent night in and night out.
Na’zae Baltimore
Na’zae Baltimore (2019) – Aiken HS – Carolina Pressure
Baltimore 6’6 helped the Carolina Pressure win there bracket and go (4-0)
on the weekend. Baltimore shows good hands and tends to finish everything
inside the paint. Baltimore stays in the paint and works it from block to block.
Antoine Parker
Antoine Parker (2020) – Fort Dorchester – Charleston Playmakers
Parker saw great minutes this season for the Patriots where he averaged
7.4 ppg and 5.5 rebounds. Parker 6’3 shows a nice mid-range game and plays
the passing lanes great. Parker rebounds on both ends of the floor and plays
bigger than his size.
Emorie Knox
Emorie Knox (2020) – Myrtle Beach HS – Myrtle Beach Phenoms
Knox was great weekend for the local squad. Knox capped off the weekend with
44 points versus Big Shots SC 15. Knox hit 5 three pointers in the game. Knox
is a mainstay in the Seahawks lineup for Head Coach Craig Martin. Knox who stands
5’11 has played on the varsity since his 8th grade year. Knox has that next gear to breeze
by defenders and take you to the hole. Knox is one of the best players in the 2020 class or
if not the best.
