White 5’8 should get some major minutes this season for the Knights. White averaged 4.5 ppg last season. White 5’8 guard brings constant energy to the floor. White connected on several three pointers while also utilizing a nice mid-range pull-up jumper in transition. White dropped 19 points in the game we took in today.
Chris BetheaChris Bethea (2020) – Dillon HS – Big Shots South Carolina 2020
Bethea likes to play off the ball more and compliments White in the backcourt. Bethea needs time to set his feet for his shot. Bethea finished with 14 points unofficially today.
[player_tooltip player_id="642040" first="AJ" last="Vaught"]AJ Vaught AJ Vaught 5'10" | PG Marion | 2020 State SC (2020) – Marion HS – Team Wall Southeast
Vaught really likes to get out and play fast when he has the opportunity. Vaught started off his high school career at Pee Dee Academy in Mullins. Vaught a left-handed guard excels in the transition game. Vaught averaged 6.1 assists this past season for the Swamp Foxes.
[player_tooltip player_id="927554" first="Zy'Aire" last="Charles"]Zy’Aire Charles Zy’Aire Charles 6'1" | PG Marion | 2021 State SC (2021) – Dillon HS – Team Wall Southeast
Charles 5’11 point guard missed part of the high school and grassroot season after being injured. Charles is slowly making his way onto the floor. Prep Hoops first saw Charles playing good minutes for the Wildcats as a freshman.
Devonta Oliver Devonta Oliver 6'3" | PG Marlboro County | 2021 State SC (2021) – Marlboro County HS (Bennettsville) – Team Wall Southeast (pictured on front)
Oliver 6’3 has really good length and plays the game extremely active on both ends of the floor. Oliver seems to be making the turn and should be relied on a lot this season for the Bulldogs. Oliver has a high motor and just constantly moves well away from the ball.
