#1 Asa White Asa White 6'8" | PF Combine Academy | 2023 State NC | 6’8 F | Garner Magnet
White was the third best prospect in the rotation for Garner Magnet as they went 22-6 on the year and 10-2 in the conference. He’s growing into a versatile prospect that can protect the rim and finish around the rim with authority. As he develops his game on the perimeter, he’ll be one to watch in the area.
#2 Jakwon Moore Jakwon Moore 6'5" | SF New Life Christian | 2023 State NC | 6’6 F | Pender
Moore was a pivotal piece for Pender as they went 20-8 on the year in the frontcourt. He produced 15.9 ppg, 6.8 rpg and 1.1 spg as a downhill driving threat. He’s got nice athleticism on the floor that can get up and put on a show. As he shows he can operate on all three levels, look for him to grow.
#3 Dylan Wiggins Dylan Wiggins 6'6" | PF Cleveland | 2022 State NC | 6’5 F | Cleveland
Wiggins was an emerging force in the Cleveland rotation in 2019-20 during his sophomore campaign. He averaged 7.7 ppg, showing off his touch around the rim and in the paint. He’s an underrated athletic forward that’s due for a breakout season in 2020-21.
#4 John Baldwin John Baldwin 6'11" | C Northwood Temple | 2023 State NC | 6’8 F/C | Whiteville
Baldwin was a key member of the frontcourt at Whiteville that’s slowly learning his role on both ends. He’s a big presence in the paint that can protect the rim and rebound in bunches. As he develops his game outside the paint, look out for him at Whiteville.
#5 Wesley Johnson | 6’8 F | Leesville Road
Johnson is a young forward prospect at Leesville Road. He’s a very raw talent on the hardwood that’s due for a breakout 2020-21 season with Carter Whitt Carter Whitt 6'2" | PG Leesville Road | 2021 State #64 Nation NC and Jalen McDonald Jalen McDonald 6'5" | CG Leesville Road | 2021 State NC in the rotation.
