2021 Players to Watch
The class of 2021 in North Carolina is one of the stronger classes we have seen since probably 2018. Here is a look at some of the players that are garnering the most attention from college programs across the country.
PG Carter Whitt (Leesville Road HS)-
Regarded as one of the top prospects in the state at the PG spot, Whitt plays years above his age and is a legitimate threat when he has the ball in his hands, really good handle, high basketball IQ.
G/W Jalen McDonald (Knightdale HS)-
Explosive and athletic; still very raw at this point but has the tools necessary to be a high-level prospect; Ole Miss has offered recently; showed a consistent shot from the mid-range; plays above the rim;
G Redford Dunton (Heritage HS)-
Skilled guard that sometimes goes inside and get his buckets; versatile; able to guard multiple positions; able to knock down the mid-range jump-shot consistently.; mismatch at HS Level with fundamentals and size at guard position. This will be his Heritage HS team this season with the graduation of Jarren McAllister and Jayden Gardner who are now both playing at the next level.
G Kobe Paysour (King’s Mountain HS)-
Big time athlete in the 2021 class. One of the best WRs in the State for football. Is great at getting in the paint and making plays for others and himself. Really good in the pick and roll. Has a nice mid range game. Has worked hard to become a more consistent jump shooter.
Po’Boigh King (Roanoke Rapids)-
Sweet 2021 shooting guard that doesn’t waste many movements. Has some sneaky quickness and a very quick release on his jump-shot. Not afraid to mix it up and crash the glass and has some passing ability as well. Averaging 15 points & 4 assists per game.
