Deshawn BrackettDeshawn Brackett (2019) – Wilson HS (Florence) – Big Shots South Carolina 2019
Brackett is still UNSIGNED and seeking a school for next year. Brackett was connected on three pointers along with floaters in the lane. Brackett really gets after it on the floor with complete all out hustle at all times. Brackett averaged 10.4 ppg and 6 assists this past season for the Tigers.
[player_tooltip player_id="642036" first="Danari" last="Ladson"]Danari Ladson Danari Ladson 6'4" | PF Dillon | 2020 SC (2020) – Dillon HS – Big Shots Elite 2020
Ladson 6’5 is a load in the paint with his physical play. Ladson plays with his back to the basket and isn’t afraid to take you down low. Ladson draws plenty of contact and gets to the foul line a lot with his play. Ladson plays at a football powerhouse. Ladson had 24 point in the game we took in along with 14 rebounds.
[player_tooltip player_id="751325" first="Wesley" last="Brown"]Wesley Brown Wesley Brown 6'4" | PF Marlboro County | 2020 State SC (2020) – Marlboro County HS (Bennettsville) – Team Wall Southeast 2020
Brown has really picked up his play the past few months. Brown has decided to stay in the paint and play with his back to the basket. Brown wanted to play on the perimeter a year ago and now has really abandoned that part of his game. Brown has good hands and brings a blue collar mentality to the floor.
[player_tooltip player_id="843591" first="Darrell" last="Gardner"]Darrell Gardner Darrell Gardner 5'11" | CG Georgetown | 2020 State SC (2020) – Georgetown HS – Team Wall Southeast 2020
Gardner was a pickup for Team Wall Southeast 2020 this past weekend. Gardner a guard has been playing all Grassroots season with Manzer. Gardner has a bit of a awkward looking shot. Gardner is a very coachable player and really looks to defend on the ball.
Brodie ClarkBrodie Clark (2021) – Scotland Christian Academy (Laurinburg, NC) – Team Wall Southeast 2022
Clark a combo guard came across the border from the Hoop State to play with Team Wall Southeast 2022. Clark is better off the ball and really has deep range on his shot. Clark has a good release but at times needs some space for his shot. Clark shoots the ball with confidence. Clark averaged 24.6 ppg this season for the Saints.
James Davis James Davis 5'7" | PG Wren | 2022 State SC (2023) – Chesterfield HS – PG Ballers (pictured on the front)
Davis was a new kid on the block this weekend at the Function at the Junction. Davis recently moved into the area according to his uncle from Ohio. Davis will look to attend Chesterfield HS this coming season. Davis was very poised for his age. Davis was able to finish with his left hand very nicely at the basket and made winning plays on both ends of the floor. I’m looking forward to seeing him play again in the future.
