Logan Stephens Logan Stephens 6'2" | CG Woodward Academy | 2021 State GA has patiently waited his turn at Woodward Academy. He’s also been immediate offense off the bench over the course of his career. Last season he dealt with injuries but this year he’s been in a groove since Day 1 in his expanded role. Stephens has a solid body and is wired to score. He needs to make sure he impacts games in other ways than just scoring, but once he sees one bucket drop, more are soon to follow. He has deep three-point range and is a very good finisher in traffic, making difficult layups look easy. Locking down defensively will help him at the next level. He’s putting up 19.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.1 steals per game, making a case for Most Improved Player in Class 5A.
No. 121 || 6-8 F Montavious Myrick Montavious Myrick 6'8" | PF North Atlanta | 2021 State GA – North Atlanta
Montavious Myrick Montavious Myrick 6'8" | PF North Atlanta | 2021 State GA is an interesting prospect. He’s a combo-forward that can score inside and out. He’s got great mobility and can finish above the rim inside. Myrick has a fluid release from beyond the arc. I like his footwork in the paint and his ability to score with his back to the basket. Averaging 12.1 points, 10 rebounds and 2.4 blocks, Myrick could be a very valuable addition at the next level with his length and versatility.
No. 123 || 6-0 PG Jaquez Holt Jaquez Holt 6'0" | PG Spencer | 2021 State GA – Spencer
The master of the mid-range, Jaquez Holt Jaquez Holt 6'0" | PG Spencer | 2021 State GA is a solid guard that provides energy and impact on both ends of the floor. He’s Spencer’s lead ball handler and does a good job of settling the offense and not getting too sped up. He can stop on a dime from the mid-range and deliver daggers to defenses. Holt is a strong athlete that can compete on the glass and has quick hands defensively.
No. 125 || 6-0 PG DeAngelo Hines DeAngelo Hines 6'0" | PG Veterans | 2021 State GA – Veterans
The bounce of DeAngelo Hines DeAngelo Hines 6'0" | PG Veterans | 2021 State GA helps him finish at the rim. He doesn’t jump out at you at first glance, but as you watch him play you see Hines is a sneaky good athlete and an overall very well-rounded guard. He has deep range with his three-point shot and is a smart facilitator. He provides tough on-ball defense using his quick feet to stay in front.
No. 127 || 6-0 PG Kendrick Lyles Kendrick Lyles 6'0" | PG Camp Jewell House | 2021 State GA – Camp Jewell House
Playing in the Freeland Division, Kendrick Lyles Kendrick Lyles 6'0" | PG Camp Jewell House | 2021 State GA has lit it up.
