Wildy will be a new face at Winston-Salem Christian under head coach Antonio Lowe, who will be in his first year leading a new program after leading Moravian Prep. He’s a long and wiry forward at 6-foot-9 that can make things happen in the paint and on the perimeter. He’s got nice mobility and defends the paint and perimeter as well.

#5 Caden Davis Caden Davis 6'3" | CG RJ Reynolds | 2021 State NC | 6’4 G/F | RJ Reynolds
Davis is a versatile threat on the hardwood for RJ Reynolds. He uses his size and frame well at 6-foot-4 to get to his spots on all three levels to produce. He put up 14.4 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 2.5 apg and 1.7 spg to take home Conference Player of the Year honors for the Demons. He’s a shifty player with the ball in his hands that loves to get downhill and finish at the rim. As a dual-sport athlete, he’s sure to land on his feet somewhere by the end of his senior season.
#6 Isaiah Ray Isaiah Ray 6'5" | CG Wesleyan Christian | 2021 State NC | 6’5 G/F | Wesleyan Christian
Ray came into his own late in the season in the Wesleyan Christian on the wing. He poses matchup problems right away with his size at 6-foot-5 and uses it well to rise up and shoot over opponents. On defense, he sits down and puts tons of pressure on the ball to make an impact. Colleges have started to notice his ability as he holds offers from Mars Hill, Bluefield State and William Peace.

#8 Camian Shell Camian Shell 5'10" | PG Winston-Salem Christian | 2022 State NC | 5’10 G | Parkland
Shell is an underrated guard that led Parkland to an upset conference tournament victory over Mount Tabor. He’s listed at just 5-foot-10 but he makes up for it with his speed with the ball. He knows how to navigate the defense with his quickness and get to the rim with ease. After putting 21.4 ppg, 5.1 apg and 5.1 rpg in 2019-20 look for him to go out with a bang in 2020-21.
#9 Jaden Ellis Jaden Ellis 6'1" | CG Page | 2021 State NC | 5’11 G | Page
Ellis is an athletic guard that can fly to the rim and finish with authority. He put up 15.6 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 3.4 apg and 1.2 spg in 2019-20 as Page was 16-12 on the year.

With experience returning alongside Ellis, look for him to go out with a bang as a top player in the area.
#10 Kadyn Dawkins Kadyn Dawkins 5'9" | CG Eastern Guilford | 2021 State NC | 5’9 PG | Eastern Guilford
