Samaad Wright Samaad Wright 6'0" | CG Blythewood | 2022 State SC – Blythewood HS – PSB Elite UA Rise 16
Wright a point guard continues his great play all summer long for his PSB squad. Wright scores the ball when he wants to and has the ability to score it from all 3 levels on the floor. Wright got the ball into the paint and finished at the cup along with hitting some short jumpers. Wright will sure to be a stock riser in the near future.
Leslie Owens Jr Leslie Owens Jr 6'6" | SF 212 Sports Academy | 2023 FL – Sumter HS – PSB Charlotte 16U Elite Larkin
Owens handled the ball more today than I had seen him in the past. Owens has expanded his game and play. Owens has a great strong frame and can really rebound the ball well on both ends of the floor. Owens connected on some elbow jumpers and really looks to play defense. Owens brings good versatility to the floor for the Gamecocks.
Cyrus Ellison Cyrus Ellison 6'4" | SF Hannah-Pamplico | 2022 State SC – Hannah-Pamplico HS – Upward Stars Pee Dee (pictured on the front)
Ellison plays off the grid a bit for the Red Raiders over in Florence County. Ellison a run-jump-athlete plays his best basketball around the cup. Ellison a wide receiver on the football team has a great upside and brings constant ENERGY to the floor. Ellison averaged 17.9 ppg and 8.9 rebounds last season for the Red Raiders.
Jeremiah Harris Jeremiah Harris 6'4" | SF Airport | 2022 State SC – Airport HS – Soda City Spartans
Harris is a long and rangy forward for the Spartans. Harris was able to get the ball to the basket on several occasions today for his squad. Harris is active in the passing lanes and tends to get a lot of deflections.
Quan Peterson Quan Peterson 6'2" | PG South Pointe | 2022 State SC – South Pointe HS (Rock Hill) – Next Level
Peterson is a strong point guard who also excels on the gridiron for the Stallions. Peterson has good size in the backcourt and plays the game with some physicality. Peterson sees the floor well and really makes his teammates happy with his unselfish play.
Jamar Williams Jamar Williams 6'5" | PF South Pointe | 2022 NC – South Pointe HS (Rock Hill) – Next Level
Williams just plays so hard in the paint and works to post up down low. Williams runs the floor extremely well and isn’t afraid to draw contact. Williams rebound the ball out of his area and brings a GREAT MOTOR to the floor every time he plays.
