He’s really coming into his own on the glass using his length and athleticism well to make an impact. He’s another Fayetteville prospect to track.

Dockery is one of a number of prospects at Seventy-First in the sophomore class that’s making waves on the hardwood. He’s putting up 9.2 ppg, 2.0 rpg and 1.2 spg on a squad with some strong guard play. He put up a season-high 24 points against Purnell Swett back on Feb. 5, showing off his ability to get to the bucket and finish in the paint.

He’s a versatile prospect that’s averaging 8.7 ppg, 6.9 rpg and 1.4 bpg while shooting 33 percent from 3-point range. He shoots the ball with confidence while maintaining his presence in the paint as well.
Tyler Thompson Tyler Thompson 6'6" | PF Panther Creek | 2023 State NC | 6’6 Forward/Center | Panther Creek
Thompson is a strong, physical presence in the Panther Creek rotation. He’s putting up 7.8 ppg and 4.4 rpg in the frontcourt while getting acclimated to the varsity level in his sophomore season. He’s a prospect that has a ton of potential already at the 4/5 position. He’s worth tracking now.
