Raleigh Finest 2022 Guard Silas Demary Jr: He’s one of those players that seems to find a way to score the ball regardless of how he’s being defended. He’s strong and plays thru contact without much of an issue, which leads to interior buckets and drawn fouls.
Raleigh Finest 2022 Guard Justin Monden Justin Monden 5'10" | PG Word of God | 2023 State NC : A PG that plays with toughness, he held his own against some talented PG prospects he was matched up with. He understands how to get his own offense but also has good vision and can run a team.
Dallas Seawolves 2022 PG Abdul Beyah Jr: Another guard that doesn’t necessarily have the height but is very talented and has a nice IQ for the game. He understands how to run a team, gets everybody involved and brings just as much effort on the defensive side of the ball.
Flight 22 2021 Guard Bradlee Haskell Bradlee Haskell 6'2" | CG Pinecrest | 2021 State NC : A gifted guard that can fill it up in a hurry, he showed some flashes of the player that we saw in the state playoffs last year. He does a nice job of finding gaps in the defense to attack and plays with a high amount of confidence.
Flight 22 2021 Guard Brady Rankin Brady Rankin 6'2" | CG Northwood Temple | 2021 State NC : Normally He’s suiting up with 24 Elite but this weekend he played with Flight 22 and showed what we have seen from him in the past few months. One of the better shooters in the state, he was automatic from three point range, especially off the catch.
Team Eat 2022 Guard Elijah Jamison Elijah Jamison 6'3" | PG Liberty Heights | 2022 State #204 Nation NC : Week in and week out you know what you’re going to get from him. Maximum effort on both ends of the floor, scoring, facilitating and outstanding rebounding are all things he brings to a team.
Charlotte Nets 2021 Guard Tachai Miller: The leading scorer of the 17U Blue bracket and over 22 Points a game, he was a big part of the team offense. Although he scored at a high level, he also showed some defensively ability, pressuring opponents into rushed possessions and turnovers.
