Emmanuel Izunabor, 6-9 215, C, 2018, Fayetteville Academy, Fayetteville, NC
He’s a good athlete, who runs really well. He’s a solid rejector, whose overall defense is very improved under the tutelage of his new coach, Bill Boyette, one of the best defensive coaches in the state of North Carolina. He has shown improvement in his ability to score the basketball over the course of this season. He has improved his jump hook, over his left shoulder.
Derrick Kwansa, 6-11 210, C, 2019, Village Christian, Fayetteville, NC
In country three years. Impressive upside. Downside is that he has been injury prone. He runs well and he rejects. He has some touch to 10 feet. If he stays healthy, the school that gets this young man will have a special talent and a very big one at that.
Ben Beeker, 6-9 215, C, 2019, Hendersonville HS, Hendersonville, NC
He’s active and physical. Though maybe a step slow, he is a workhorse and he has surprising length, plus a bit of bounce that might surprise you. He has solid moves in the low post and he also has good touch from the high post.
TJ Nesmith, 6-8 215, C, 2019, Graham HS, Graham, NC
The Red Devil’s big man has steadily improved over his four year career. He recently broke the school’s all time single game scoring mark with a 40 point effort against county rival Southern Alamance.
Julian Steinfield, 6-10 205, C, 2019, Grace Christian, Sanford, NC
He’s averaging a double-double, for Coach Jesse Wilson in this his senior year. He’s averaging 11.5 points per game and 10.6 rebounds per game.
He’s agile and has some touch. He needs to get into the weight room and do some work. I like his upside, because in my opinion, if you are 6-10 and you continue to work at it, you have a chance to play college basketball.
