5-7 PG Damien Smith Damien Smith 5'7" | PG Chattooga | 2023 State GA – Chattooga
Potent scorer that does major damage with the deep ball. Can take over games with his ability to shoot from distance. Finds space with the dribble to launch from beyond the arc. When attacking the basket, does a good job using his body to shield the ball from shot blockers.
6-1 W Khalon Hudson Khalon Hudson 6'5" | SF Westside-Augusta | 2023 State GA – Westside-Augusta
Slashing wing that can make plays with the ball in his hands. Averaged 14.4 points and 4 rebounds. Provides effort defensively. Has a good projectable frame that will get stronger and longer.
5-11 G Alfonzo Ross – Woodville-Tompkins
Tough on-ball defender that moves his feet to keep ball handlers in front. Knows how to push the tempo on offense and has deep three-point range when he calls his own number. Can score off the bounce with a nice pull-up and is athletic enough to rise over defenders for finger rolls. Poured in 14 points per game.
5-9 G Eren Banks – Putnam County
Averaged 10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.3 steals. Quick with the ball. Has a sharp low crossover that loses defenders. Can pull-up from three and uses both hands when getting to the basket. Shot 40-126 (32%) from three.
