Hubbard saw his season hobbled a bit due to injury in 2019-20, but he’s still managed to be an asset in the Northside Christian backcourt. He’s an athletic shooter with bounce but also a knack for making plays for others. He’s due for a big senior season with offers already from UAB, Florida Atlantic and Samford.
#2 Jarvis Moss Jarvis Moss 6'4" | SG Cannon School | 2021 State NC | 6’4 SG | Cannon School
Moss has seen his stock rise after Cannon School won the NCISAA 4A State Title behind the play of him and Jaden Bradley Jaden Bradley 6'2" | PG IMG Academy | 2022 State #15 Nation FL . He’s a pure sharpshooter at the guard spot that’s capable of putting it on the floor and getting to the rim or creating for others. He holds offers from UNC-Greensboro, Rider, Alcorn State, Samford, Buffalo and Houston Baptist with more room to grow as a prospect at the next level.
#3 Isiah Golden Isiah Golden 5'10" | CG Olympic | 2021 State NC | 6’1 G | Olympic
Williams is a bouncy combo guard prospect at 6-foot-1 that looks to create off the bounce whenever possible. He hasn’t mastered shooting behind the arc, per se, but he’s still capable of finding his rhythm from 3. He’s an electric prospect that’s already earned an offer from Lees-McRae. He’s another name to keep an eye on at Olympic High School.
#4 Darrius Davis Darrius Davis 6'4" | CG Combine Academy | 2021 State NC | 6’3 G | Combine Academy
Davis will make a move from Moravian Prep to Combine Academy, looking to inject his defensive prowess into their rotation. He’s a guard with a strong build already at 6-foot-3 which allows him to roam the paint area for offensive boards and attack the rim with relative ease. He’ll be a breakout name to keep an eye on for 2020-21 in the area.
#5 Xavier McKelvy Xavier McKelvy 6'2" | CG United Faith Christian | 2022 State NC | 6’0 G | Myers Park
McKelvy is a growing name in the Charlotte area in the 2021 class. He produced 15.6 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 1.4 spg and 1.0 apg as the lead guard for Myers Park in 2019-20 alongside Drake Maye. They return a ton of talent in 2020-21 looking to make waves at the 4A level. He’s got the potential to have quite the senior season this fall.
#6 Bryce Alfino Bryce Alfino 6'4" | SG Donda Academy | 2022 State NC | 6’4 G | Combine Academy
Alfino is another prospect moving to Combine Academy from Davidson Day. He’s a lethal sharpshooter with length and a high IQ for being unselfish and making plays for others. He doesn’t look to overdo things with the ball as a combo guard and should be another name to watch, especially on the defensive end, at Combine Academy.
#7 Luc Therrien Luc Therrien 6'8" | C Bull City Prep | 2021 State NC | 6’4 G | Rocky River
Thomas had quite the breakout season in 2019-20 at Rocky River, putting up 18.7 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 1.5 apg, 1.4 bpg and 1.2 spg. He managed to shoot 48 percent from 3-point land and 54 percent from the field as the Ravens improved mightily from a season ago. When he’s not looking to score, he’s banging down low for rebounds, using his strength and length in other areas. He’s a name to watch in the Charlotte area.
#8 Glenn Bynum Jr Glenn Bynum Jr 6'3" | CG Carmel Christian | 2021 State NC . | 6’3 G | Carmel Christian
Bynum is a growing name in the area at Carmel Christian with his ability to move without the ball and get open for shots. He can operate on all three levels and reads the defense well for easy buckets. He’s got a strong build which he uses well to defend the basketball and create in the paint as well. He’ll be a breakout prospect to keep an eye on in the Carmel Christian backcourt.
