McDuffie joins the ranks after a productive season on the wing and in the frontcourt at Butler, attacking the rim and rebounding the ball. He put up 8.9 ppg, 6.0 rpg and 2.1 bpg while showing off his burst and athleticism on both ends. He’s an early name to track at 6-foot-4.
No. 87 Casian Richard Casian Richard 5'10" | PG East Forsyth | 2023 State NC
Richard is an electric guard that makes things happen on both ends as he did for Carver High in 2020-21. He produced 16.2 ppg and 1.3 apg in the varsity rotation while showing off his ability to score at volume. He shot 51 percent from the field and 30 percent from 3-point land as a sophomore. As he proves himself on the defensive end, look for his name to grow.
No. 89 Nick Anthony Nick Anthony 6'3" | CG Raleigh Christian Academy | 2023 State NC
Anthony emerged as a stat-sheet stuffer this past season with Raleigh Christian Academy. He put up 25.8 ppg, 8.8 apg, 7.4 rpg and 3.4 spg while showing off his efficiency as a shooter on all three levels. He shot 68 percent from the field and 55 percent from behind while knocking down 54 3-pointers as the lead guard this past season.
No. 90 CJ Alston CJ Alston 6'1" | PG NC GBBA | 2024 State NC
Alston is an emerging guard that can shoot the 3-ball and make plays for others using his quickness off the bounce at Greenfield School. He’s got good strength at 6-foot-1 that allows him to be a presence when he’s on the floor.
No. 94 Masaun Moore-Bryant Masaun Moore-Bryant 6'0" | PG Cape Fear | 2023 State NC
Moore-Bryant is an explosive, wiry guard at 5-foot-10 that made waves at Cape Fear High in 2020-21. He put up 15.7 ppg, 6.4 apg, 2.4 spg and 2.3 rpg while shooting 46 percent from the field and 42 percent from 3-point range as a sophomore. He’s a prospect who has room to grow in the class.
No. 99 Randy Dockery Randy Dockery 6'2" | CG Seventy-First | 2023 State NC
Dockery is another emerging guard with room to grow at Seventy-First High. He was one of a slew of 2023 prospects that led the way for the Falcons this season, putting up 8.6 ppg, 2.1 rpg, 1.4 spg and 1.3 apg in the backcourt. Look for his name to grow this spring/summer.
